    My advice to you is to just join threads and start answering questions. That's going to build or destroy your reputation. Just offering to help people shows nothing of your certifications or if you are full of *kitten*. We find many trainers jump in to offer help and it's garbage.

    Good luck!

    Sometimes fitness is a hobby, especially if you don't go to the gym.

    would you call an achievement a client who tells you that you taught them well enough for them to do this gym thing on there own?

    Going to the gym is my hobby.

    It is. Lifting is my hobby and so is bodybuilding. Many outdoors active people view their fitness activities as hobbies instead of lifestyles.

    Legit question

    I have started strength training and have limited time. I am rehabbing from knee surgery and spend about 45-60 daily on a bike for low impact cardio. I want to do some upper body work, but only have about 30-40 for a workout. What 3-4 lifts/exercises would you recommend for basic upper body strengthening? Or what would you recommend for a 30-40 min "workout A" and "workout B" for 3x/week? I do core exercises on "off" days.

    I recommend listing your qualifications, certifications, etc. in the "About Me" section of your profile page.

    Good advice. These threads normally end in tears. A few succeed, but the OPs tend to put effort in as to who they are, what they provide and then proceed to give personalised and sensible answers.


    PS dont be a know it all trainer without being able to back it up with informative answers.
    Dont assume there arent other knowledgeable people on this forum.
    Dont try and sell people stuff.

    I notice these "personal trainer" posts pop up every day. I suspect it's a form of spam or phishing. The commenters here apparently are good at smelling rats.
