I've worked with fat trainers before and been baffled to watch them tell a client how to do a push up and show by example only to have their ass way up in the air and barely able to even do one.

When I trained at a gym, we had one guy that competed in figure and a few fat trainers. Fatties would always rather the fat trainers because they make them feel more comfortable, they had maybe 1/5 the knowledge as the body builder but their doughy appearance made them more "relatable".

Its always baffled me that hair stylists have to pass board certified testing and go through more rigorous screening than personal trainers. I mean we literally work in an industry where one wrong lift can cripple someone for the rest of their lives, but someone can take on online, open book test, and suddenly tell people how to get in shape.

As a trainer that busts my ass eating clean, training hard and studying constantly to give my clients the best results and lead by example, I despise fat trainers. Fuck, now I'm ranting.

Let it all out, friend.

Re: fatties training with fat trainers, that's what I thought too. At first, I thought it was stupid and counterproductive to do that, but then I realized that these fat fucks probably needed someone with a similar body type to share their safe spaces with.
