What kind of money and hours are you making/doing?

I sometimes have a pr for olympic lifts technique only. Half italian guy with funny calf tattoos. Extremely cool, competent and helpful. Would sometimes compete with me in sprint/circuit training stuff just for fun, unpaid and in his free time. Can recommend.

It's a sweet life. Wish more men would get into it so my pay increases.

I charge 50$ an hour. Have 9 people that I'm training 2-3 times a week. I make about 5500 before tax in a month. When I started used to work at a gym too but the pay was shit so as soon as I got enough people I quit.
pic related. It's me

Looking good man. How old are you? Do you do that on the side or as your main occupation?

What really? How does that work? Or did you just make it up?

I'm a guy so I don't really get cramps during my period.

>>38090170

Because 8/10 top selling pharmaceutical drugs are for treating obesity related illnesses.

I've had this discussion with someone before, didn't even think about it when I typed my story earlier.
U.S. healthcare is worth 3 trillion dollars.
Proper hygiene, nutrition, exercise would take away more than half of all reasons to visit a doctor.
So yeah, see your point.

>>38090218
Potassium from fruit. Fish has antiinflammatories but I honestly just wanted to get her off her pure red meat. I'm not calling it a cure for cramps because this should be considered preventative medicine.
>>38090170
How do you market yourself? I running out of friends of friends to consult and I'm shy outside of technical talk.

>>38090258
Because it's a 5 hour course maximum on human physiology and how food works, you don't need months to teach that shit

>>38090359
Used to be like you bro you just have to approach people and be charismatic and convince them that you're the best thing for them if they want to achieve their goal. When I worked at the gym I literally approached every person that came, and I only managed to get five people so it's not easy but if you persist you will stumble along people that are willing to pay you. After I quit the gym I started to take some of my guys outside and workout in parks and that got me another 2 people that approached me by themselves. The rest are friends of my guys.

not even close lol

>>38090348
what? that makes no sense. you think that if everyone had proper hygiene, nutrition, and exercise that all of a sudden the u.s would cut spending by half at ~1.5 trillion?

>>38090258
> hurr lost 5 lbs
> durr better reward myself with 5k calories
Such is the life of a nutritionist. It's thankless work most of the time.

>>38090431
T-t-thanks bro. Im concerned with the competition I have because all these nutritionists keep spouting meme/miracle diets. Playing the long game in this field is torture.

>>38090462
Maybe I should have added preventable. Consumption is a prerequisite of obesity. The obese consume the advertised take out food, they also consume the advertised pharmaceuticals that trick their organs into thinking everything is fine. Fat is good for business.

>>38090549
Good luck man. Be confident in your own knowledge so if someone says "but mike said this and that" you will be able to explain why mike is wrong

>>38090170
