Guys should I cancel my male personal trainer (as time approaches nerves are taking over)?

[anonbrunette99]

So I know these people are professional and to them it’s nothing they don’t do daily with all types of people but I prefer woman but he is the int one that got back to me and has availability at the place I wanna train but I’m so nervous as he is very experienced and knowledgeable he is a body builder and I had a generic female trainer before and I even struggled to push myself properly with her even though she was incredibly patient with me. Do I go once just to even see what it’s like or bail because it’s senseless doing something that makes me so nervous …

I understand your nervous but honestly he isn't going to judge you. I had a male personal trainer and a female personal trainer. I have to say, female personal trainer, my body was aching for days as she pushed me to the max.

where the male personal trainer encouraged me to lift these weights that I was dead set i can't lift those, they are too heavy, but he kept encouraging me and I ended up lifting the weights up. I encourage you to go a least once. If you don't feel comfortable you can try another trainer. If you don't go and give it a go, you could end up regretting it. It also means another day or week of sitting around waiting for another personal trainer to pop up and become available.

You are so right I am so glad I read this comment it gave me a bit more courage I know the female trainers are softer bht kerboe sometimes j just have to do or try something that I don’t necessarily want to, to get the outcome I want if I absolutely hate it then i that type of intensity isn’t for me. I was just scared I will be judged as during exercises I dint like such as Bulgarian split squats, hack squat, anything heavy overhead I have very very bad self discipline and my reps look poor like my last trainer had to tell me i was nowhere near exhausted and I was giving up and it frustrated her. I guess it’s worth a try

Not in my case. My female PT was harder on me. Where my male PT approached things differently. I promise you they aren't going to judge you. If anything they are probably excited to have a new client and to see you achieve the results that you want too.

I would recommend you to go thrice. When we have plan b we opt for plan b. Observe your feelings as 'feel the fear and do it any way' a book title.

Try it. Don’t like it. Try another. They are used to that. Like hairdressers

[anonbrunette99]

What if it’s absolutely horrible and he mocks me fitness level / strength or lack there of

[Guy13]

If he’s a professional he will not do that. Women are the money makers as you guys insecurity factor keeps 💰 rolling in. He would be a fool to do that.. The same thing that makes you fear he will mistreat you is the same thing that makes you a good client. All women have some form of this thing.

Give him a shot and see if his style works for you.

[anonbrunette99]

If I don’t think it’s for me is it respectful enough to just be honest that his training style doesn’t Suit my personality type or something

What specifically are you afraid of?

[anonbrunette99]

Being judged for my strength/fitness level / ability to push myself or lack there of

[Opinion Owner]

No trainer is going to judge that. They're just trying to establish what your current levels of strength and fitness are and then they'll come up with a plan to improve it. Early on it's not really even about your ability to push yourself (since injuries happen there). That only matters when you're trying to get from great shape to excellent.

It won't hurt to try
