I've had lots of random people come up to me and give advice in the gym. I don't workput in the traditional way. I practice martial arts and base my workouts on the movements of my fight style and I do a lot of hiit cardio for stamina and endurance.
Some of the weirdest people come and try to give me advice.
There was once a dude who thought that you won't lose fat if you don't sweat which is stupid. Surely sweating is a sign that your body is being worked up but I could be standing in a hot and I'll sweat, doesn't mean I just had a workout and lost fat. But this dude comes up and criticises my workout saying it's ineffective cause I'm not sweating.

For a while this was a problem in the military. We would get people who became NCOs and, because of their rank, were expected to lead PT formation. Just because we go through basic training and train in the military does not mean we are fitness experts. However, eventually my command cracked down on this after many of us got hurt during routine PT. Most of the time, to become an NCO and lead others, you must have good PT scores and be trained by command fitness personnel before taking the rank, but my command was so short on NCOs that people were getting promoted fast.
Mostly, they are biased comments I got from "coaches" who try to sell you GMO shakes and contaminated tea to my community. What they do is criticizing clients' personalities rather than poor diet and very judgmental. One wrongly assumed everything about me yet got offended easily when I tried to say the fact or info that contradicted to his. Some of them are just FAT with floppy skin. Ones of the most egoistic people I'd ever met.
They are business people by the way. Not a sport person. They just want to sell their products.
Do not disrespect Chloe like that. Everything works. Chloe has gastritis and tells her followers that she is not a nutritionist, her foods are the things that help her. Alexis Renn has always been skinny and it would take a long time to see results from her.

I'd echo Freelee and her suggestions for HCLF vegan nutrition of a sort where the loss of ovulation resulting from such nutrition in women was justified as a "detoxifying" effect. I think both physical and mental health advice should ideally be followed by endless disclaimers even from professionals citing their biases, but I'm a free-market type of person. I think the ultimate responsibility has to be placed on the consumer rather than producer just due to practicality. It might be impossible to eradicate snake oil salesmen from this world, but it might be practical for me to teach you how to differentiate them.
I dont follow any of These Fitness influencers since i know the most of the Tips of them are stupid. Everybody is free to search in the internet and to find eat plans and ofc plans for training. I think the biggest problem is they can sell every shit cause of there bodys they Look realy serious. Just check the female American bodybuilders for a second, i do bodybuilding to but i know this body shape which some of them have i will never get cause of the use of illegal things. Anyway if the most people dont had a Problem with there body shape they wouldn't sell there products but hey the Fitness industry doing the same ;)
Can you give some examples? What's wrong with their programs?
Well I've watched tons of videos on YouTube like personal trainers giving horrible lifting advice. Or fitness gurus showing you weird diet recipes that make no sense.
Like there was this one video where this guy made a protein shake without powder. And he stuff it with so many fruits and berries there were more carbs than protein lol.
So yeah in fitness there's no doubt in my mind there are scammers and fake gurus. After all the fitness industry is huge so everyone trying to get a slice of that pie.Now that's the beauty of freedom to run a business.
See they aren't really selling false products, all they do is sell their own unprofessional guide to a healthy fit life, it's buy at your own risk and some people chose to risk it.
But think back to a time before instagram and all that stuff.
Many people built their bodies on diets and workouts they got from that one gym rat friend with a gladiator figure and he's no more qualified than the online influencers.Fair perspective but I go back to " they are where I want to be. They got there somehow. Perhaps they know what they are doing."
If they are charging me money I want to see some proof they know what they say they do. At the same time a world class triathlete may not be certified but they do have experience, for example.
Everyone should do their own due diligence because there are scams. That's why we say "buyer beware" and "your mileage may vary."Top priority of those "influencers" is self-promotion and posting pics. I don't really think that people read their gibberish and take it seriously.
If you want credible fitness tips go in a fitness club with competent trainers and they will make a program for you. This isn't different with nutrition tips. Some people gain weight if they eat too much carbs, other if they eat too much fat and some can eat they want without gaining a gram. People are too different that tips of a person who claims that some specific diet or training is good for him/her has similar result on others.That you have to eat meat to get protein lol. Not that I don't but I am more of a veggies person.
You don't have to have a certificate to train somebody and push them in sports training. I trained with the best trainers in the world doing super hard core elite training by former World boxing champions they never had a certificate. That sounds like a bunch of yuppie stuff
People selling teas or suplements to help u lose weight, u lose weight or gain it by what u eat / exercise calories in calories out
I agree with you which is why I don't really follow them or endorse their programmes. Every person has different fitness requirements so I try to workout with what i feel is right for me and try to keep fit to a reasonable degree.
Juiceplus... classic MLM
Honestly had people doing them ask me for advice, I run a real business and if that failed I'd sell a kidney and quit drinking before I consider an MLMI was able to jump rope for 26 minutes straight
One of best fitness feats
It's that Rae talent1 if that's u ur boyfriend is lucky 2 I agree Instagram trainers are the worst
Don't eat crap and work out. Doesn't get much better than that.
I don't really trust either. Me personally, I would talk to my doctor first
It's can be any way, I don't believe a certificate means they know. But it can help maybe it's experiences and doing that matters.
It would be interesting to see these influencers in their 30s or 40s & older when their metabolism slows down because it's much easier to give such advice when recently out of puberty.
The worst is probably Freelee lol
For your information, Chloe ting IS. A certified fitness trainer.
Coffee helps men, and kick boxing.
