This sounds like a “How To” article on how to manipulate personal trainers and it seems like you are an expert in this field.

Let’s hope every PT in your area gets Wind of this article. Lucky your not in my area as there’s no way you’d get away with it...Client’s pay upfront or no sessions.. I don’t even offer free “trail” sessions because of, what we call ‘PT WHORES’.

People that behave like you do in this post is what I hate about being in business.

This is insulting! At least you’d be a cautionary tale to trainers working their butts off to make a decent living. The big box gyms are notorious of exploiting their staff. When it comes to trainers, they’re often not paid a wage but per session they complete with a client, plus some commission if they sell the…

Caitlin - I don’t even know what to say...this occurs as taking full advantage of another human being for your own benefit. I’ve very sadden by your article and your approach here.

What a nasty article. Shameful.

This is a ridiculous article. Not only shady, but ineffective at any reputable gym. For all of the fitness Coach and personal trainers out there, please feel free to contact me directly for help in avoiding all “Fake” potential clients. Id be more than happy to help you all.

this is awful advice and something a terrible person would do

Could you write a sample article of my choosing for free?? Why not? Anyone else willing to give me services for free?
