Have you ever tried to join a gym and felt like you were actually inside of an East Bay car dealership instead? Going to a corporate gym can make you feel like you are trying to buy a car instead of trying to simply sign up for a gym membership.
Salespeople seem to crawl out of the woodwork the moment you step foot through the door, rushing you with overzealous greetings and questions. Signing up for a gym membership should not be like buying a car. It should be a simple, stress-free, no pressure transaction, with your health being the primary goal.
If you have specific fitness and weight loss goals, you want an East Bay fitness trainer that knows what they are doing, not some used car dealership salesman who provides cookie-cutter advice. Every person is different, with different needs, both dietary and fitness-wise, so the typical, generalized fitness and diet plans most East Bay gyms offer won't necessarily work for everyone.
Like most East Bay car salesman, most corporate gym fitness trainers are not required to be nationally certified. Anyone with a pulse and extroverted personality can get a job as a car salesman, because the car dealership's ultimate goal is sales and revenue. It is pretty much the same way with corporate gym fitness trainers. Oftentimes, they look the part of a fitness trainer, but do not possess the extensive knowledge required to safely get you the weight loss and fitness goals you are looking for.
Think about this, East Bay: Would you feel more comfortable taking your Honda to a Honda dealership to have repairs done, or would you rather take it to Average Joe's Automotive Repair just because it's cheaper? Chances are, you would take your Honda to the Honda dealership because they possess specific knowledge of your car and you know they would fix it right.
The same analogy could be used for east bay fitness trainers. Would you rather go to an expert fitness trainer who possesses national certification and ample experience in weight loss or some un-experienced fitness trainer whose only goal is the commission from your sale?
When it comes to your health, trust the professionals, just as you would trust your car with an expert East Bay mechanic. Not only will you be working with someone who knows what they are doing, but you will also know they have your best interests at heart and are not being pressured like car salesman to meet those sales goals.

One day I was at fisherman's wharf in San Francisco and came across a
bucket of crabs on the pier. I stopped and took a look inside and noticed one crab trying to climb over the other crabs to get out of the bucket.
This crab was trying to make a run for it and I told the fisherman that he was about to lose a crab. He then told me to take another look to see what was about to happen.
Naturally, the other crabs pulled him by the legs as he was hoisting himself out of the bucket.
The fisherman then told me that the crabs naturally always pull each other down so that their is never a lid required.
I then realized that we have "crabs" and "haters" in our lives that are always trying to pull us down when we are trying to do something positive in our lives.
Recently a local health club in the East Bay (my area) are acting like these "crabs" by putting flyers all around our parking lot, leaving negative comments on this blog/youtube videos, and intentionally putting flyers my car right in front of our studio.
I know alot of you have fitness goals you want to achieve and have "crabs" and "haters" in your life that probably tell you:
- Not to invest your money in a gym membership/personal training
- That working out is a waste of time
- That you drive too far see your personal trainer
Or you may have:
- Friends will try to get you to drink and eat junk food with them so that you fail
- Significant others may be possessive and jealous that you are achieving success with your fitness goals and not want you to continue on
Whatever the case may be, you will always have "crabs" and "haters" that will try to squash your ambitions, motivation, passion, and enthusiam.
How To Deal With "Crabs" and "Haters"
- Cut all negative people out of your life
- Realize that the closest people to you will "hate" on you no matter what, just let their negative comments go in one ear and out the other
- Get a piece of paper and start listing the names of people you know that will pull you down and try your best to limit your exposure to them
If you have family members and friends, they may seem like this towards you because they fear:
- Fear of losing you
- Fear of change
- Fear of being left behind
They conceal their fears as genuine concern for you. They always have a reason to burst your bubble, to instill doubt inside you and get you to second guess yourself.
At The End Of The Day East Bay
Look at it as a compliment. If these "haters" in your life are spending all their time and energy to bring you down, most likely you are doing something right.
So I urge you not to let these people hold you down. Just use their negative energy in a positive way and continue to keep your eyes on the prize and achieve your fitness goals East Bay.
