I’ve compiled a list of things you should never say to your personal trainer. I’ve asked some of my colleagues about the cringe-worthy, annoying things their clients say to them on a daily basis. Here is the list. I know you’d never say anything like this but I’m sure these things have crossed your mind. I strongly suggest you zip your lip.
1) “I don’t want to lift—don’t make me bulky.” (Says the woman lifting a three-pound weight.)
2) “I ate pizza this weekend, so I did two hours of cardio before our session—is that okay?”
3) “I need to look good in a bikini in two weeks. Can you make that happen?”
4) “I want a good workout—but I don’t want to sweat.”
5) “I wasn’t sore at all from that last workout!”
6) “I’m doing the Master Cleanse so I can’t work out too hard—I don’t want to pass out.”
7) “I heard on an infomercial that you can get in shape in just five minutes a day.”
8) “But on Biggest Loser they lose 20 pounds a week!”
9) “I’m too old to get in shape.”
10) “So sorry to do this but can we cancel our appointment? I'm just walking in from a late night with the girls. I'm drunk beyond belief.”
