I’m working with a coach from nerd fitness. He is awesome! He fits all the criteria this video discussed and well worth the money.
Great to hear! 🙌 We always look to bring on the best and brightest!
I'm gonna be the first one to be crazy with the Burpees = 👍 😂 😂 😂
Haven't programmed one for a client in a long time though because most people don't feel the same love towards them as I do and it's all about what you personally enjoy!
Coach Matt was right!! (with the end blooper 😆)
@@NerdFitness hahahaha omg this is what I get for getting so excited to share my love for burpees that I didn't wait till the end. 😆😆😆
brb going to do some now
Accountability... Accountability... Accounta-HOLY CRAP LOOK AT THAT NEW DOCUMENTARY I'LL LIFT LATER
If it's a documentary on lifting, we'll allow it. 😆
well my coach is actually coach Matt :D And he's great!
He is an awesome part of Nerd Fitness! Glad you're enjoying everything!
Took two classes with a personal trainer. He commented that I had a good physique but my thighs jiggled whenever I did a squat. Never trusted a PT ever again.
Bleh, that is awful! This is the kind of terrible experiences we actively rebel against.
How do you find a trainer who has experience helping someone with a herniated disc? I've tried to find someone local, and they all say they can help, but last time I did one of those free personal training things at a local gym, my back flared up.
Great question. If you're meeting with a trainer, then ask them to specifically tell you about a time they helped someone with a similar situation - not just a "can you help?" (because they'll always say yes)
Another good option is to ask around to your friends! A friend of a friend might have dealt with something similar (as back and disc pain is common enough)
Last thing - ask your doctor or physical therapist for a recommendation. They will often have a network of personal trainers that they trust.
Hope this helps!
Burpees!😃👍
Burpees ever so 👎
Great tips. I certainly didn’t check all of these with my previous trainer, and whilst he’s awesome, he’s not really right for me. Fortunately I got super-lucky with my current coach... 😁😂
I heard your current coach is master at dad jokes. 😆
The trainer I'm starting with doesn't have a written plan. He says he has everything in his head. Sigh. Wouldn't this be necessary? My old trainer had a proper plan, it was a 3 month plan with room for adjustment.
Coach Jim here! - In my experience, somewhere in the middle worked best for me.
I'd come in with a rough idea of what we wanted to do, based on assessments and initial conversations.
I would definitely write down everything we did in the session so I could adjust and build off that!
And then I wouldn't write out a longer program until we had a couple sessions under the belt and I knew the Client's preferences a bit better. Then that longer program would always be up for discussion and adjustment.
Hope this helps!
@@NerdFitness thanks so much for explaining your process. I'll keep and open mind and also chat with my PT.
Anyone here as a trainer trying to find out how to be more thought after
So, does Coach Matt look like the Hacksmith, or does the Hacksmith look like Coach Matt?
Seriously, you could be related!
I mean, you've never seen them both in the same room together . . . have you??
Accountability
Which fitness certifications are legitimate?
Great question! It'll vary slightly by geography (as Canada as a few extra), but in U.S. a certification from NASM, ACE, ISSA, NFPT, or ACSM are all solid.
@@NerdFitness I’m in the Northeast specifically. New York. Albany area.
Other than the for pay websites are there free resources to find one in my area. A listing of a sort. Workforce referral type of thing.
