Workout on Bravo

I’ll start off my blog with a post about this ‘reality’ show which I watched last night. I have the fortunate vantage point of having been there, done that - since I owned an 8,000 sq. ft facility in NYC from 1997-2000 - and boy is she in for a ride. Considering in the first episode the owner of this personal training studio:

- allows a client to discuss her dating and sexuality status
- allows an employee to moon her
- allows her girlfriend to chastise aforementioned mooning employee
- wants the ‘best’ trainers yet corrects them in front of the clients

In her defense, she does have four employees who seem to be focused and on it, and already on top of their game. One thing I know for sure is you really can’t hire ‘top’ established trainers to work for you and then tell them how to train their clients. If that’s what she’s looking for, she’s going to have a rough, rough go of it. Younger, less established trainers with POTENTIAL, yes, she’ll be able to mold them. But unless someone is doing something blatatly outright dangerous, she should trust her trainers to do what they do.

OR, maybe she should hire better from the start, hoo boy I learned that one too. Talk about painful …eesh. We’ll see what happens…if… I can stand to watch it again, it was painfully bad.
