Seven things your personal trainer really wants you to stop doing
[...] complaining takes up precious time that a trainer can use for explaining proper form for an exercise or for general dietary advice. Lying This point is closely related to \"making excuses\" except instead of saying that your dog ate your workout plan, you fib that you skipped a third glass of wine after dinner or you really did squeeze in that circuit workout -- when you didn't.

Core Training Equipment Goes Mainstream in Health Clubs
\"Education and programming drives product sales,\" he says. \"Logically, it would follow suit that with this continued emphasis in equipment used to train the core would come a better understanding of how to train the core. The industry has moved away from isolated core training to training the core in an integrated fashion, considering the science of fascia and its contribution to movement.\" Crunch Regional Group Fitness Director Kendell Hogan agrees that ab work is \"no longer just about getting a six-pack.\" At Crunch, New York, multiple group exercise classes address functional core training, including BodyWeb (which uses the TRX Suspension Trainer), Transformer (which uses the three-dimensional rubber tubing system called the Core Transformer), BOSU Body and BOSU Bootcamp (which focus on strength and balance work on the BOSU Balance Trainer), and Ab Attack (which features both standing and floor work). These classes are so popular at Crunch that many times they \"sell out,\" meaning that there isn't enough equipment for everyone who wants to participate. \"Functional core is now considered an essential part of any and all group or one-on-one training programs,\" [Linda LaRue] says. \"That's because all movement begins first and always from the core. Not offering essential core-movement programming would place a club at a distinct marketing deficit regarding having a well-rounded program.\"

POWER of the POOL
In many clubs, the pool is a somewhat forgotten area, used mainly as a respite for former competitive swimmers, the occasional children's swimming lesson or a water aerobics class attended mostly by senior citizens. Walk into Prairie Life Fitness in Omaha, NE, though, and you'll see much more than just quiet lap swimming and seniors splashing in the pool. In fact, with 25 group pool classes offered per week, along with aquatics personal training, swimming lessons and triathlon programming, you'll see a thriving three-pool aquatics area in which about 15 percent of the club's membership is involved in some way. \"I am always giving my instructors material and articles I find that relate to their classes and encourage them to share it with their participants,\" says Dayle Nervig, aquatics director at Prairie Life Fitness. \"I am a firm believer in conscious or purposeful exercise for all participants. I tell them what they are doing and why, and any outcomes will be better.\" \"It is important to find a balance that generates opportunity,\" she says. \"Sometimes, pool space is overscheduled with swim lessons or swim teams, and water fitness classes are overlooked. Sometimes, the emphasis is the children's programming, and adult programming is neglected. Getting to know your members and their wants and needs is the most efficient means of developing effective programming for the pool.\"

Group Strength Classes Lead and Follow Growth in Strength Training
\"Yes, the growing use of strength equipment is increasing the popularity of group strength classes,\" May says. \"The existence of group strength classes adds diversity and appeal to individual strength equipment workouts.\" \"People that work out with weights in the weight room are more likely to find group strength classes less intimidating,\" [Jay Blahnik] says. \"And people who take group strength classes are likely to find the weight room less intimidating.\" \"Introducing members to the strength floor is the biggest obstacle for the health club industry,\" says [Bob Esquerre], who recently worked with TCA Holdings, Chicago, to add these hybrid professionals to its staff. \"In a group, members feel more comfortable, but you need a way to make that transition and get them introduced to strength.\"

Seven fitness faux pas
As a personal trainer myself, I've had a lot of conversations with other trainers about what irks them. While some clients' personalities may rub a trainer the wrong way, a good trainer will never let that get in the way of a good professional session. However, there are some client no-no's that are more than just personality quirks - they're detrimental to both a trainer's and client's success in the gym. A trainer can only design your workout based on the information you give them. If you're as closed as a clam in chilly waters, then it's darn near impossible for a trainer to help you set goals that really matter to you. On the flip side, if you're a total chatty Cathy or gossipy Glen, then you really need to make sure that your conversations with your personal trainer stay on track and are about fitness, your goals and your health. A session with a personal trainer doesn't come cheap, and you need to make sure your time is being spent discussing your weight loss - not the neighbours down the street. This may seem like an odd point to make, but it's an important one. To properly correct form when lifting weights, a personal trainer must see the angles of your body. In a lunge, they need to make sure that your knee isn't going over your toes. However, if you have on big, baggy sweatpants or a hooded sweatshirt, then they won't be able to tell if your form is as it should be. Spandex isn't necessary, but a big oversize T-shirt isn't helping you.
