I'm about to talk dirt on many of the "professionals" working in our industry these days. I don't mean to talk about YOU...so hopefully you don't make the cut for this list.Fitness trainers are lucky because we don't have to spend day after day cramped in a tiny cubicle or inhaling fumes in a factory.

As a trainer, you are touching every aspect of your client's lives and making it one helluva lot better for them.In the same spirit, I want to talk about some weird things that go on WITHIN the fitness industry, since these things often give us all a... well, a WEIRD reputation.
