LA Fitness Training Assessment -- Don't sacrifice good judgement!

2 bad days starting w exercise trainer assessment. Told him I had a torn rotator cuff. I should have refused the heavy rope test.
I was too compliant. I'm 67 & should know better. Of course, I hurt my shoulder. I felt his goal was to demoralize me into signing a contract. Which I didn't. He showed me, by contrast,my last trainer was interested in helping clients avoid injury. This guy wanted a contract & commission. Today my shoulder is better but weak when I try to raise it. To make matters worse, I lost my meal structure. I ate no breakfast. By 2 PM ate a pint of Ben & Jerrys! So, more self recriminazations. But, one good thing, I decided to see if my old trainer is still doing classes. Just because a trainer says he's certified doesn't mean I should sacrifice good judgement!
