How the hell does the fat guy with pipe-cleaner arms beat the certified trainer to the gym? Especially one they work at? I try not to be a dickhead in these types of situations and completely understand that things happen, but how are you a trainer and late multiple times meeting with a client? I can do the workouts perfectly fine once I have a solid routine planned out, but that's why I made these appointments in the first place (to make a scheduled workout and nutrition plan).
Am I the douche here, /fit/?

Any of these coaches are not going to teach you anything worth having. They will probably work in bad habits for you. Learn good technique by watching knowledgeable people do them. A proper coach costs money and is not worth it imo, you can learn so much on the internet today. Unless you're too stupid for that, in which case a coach is a good idea. But expensive. Most people are idiots so you can't even really go by recommendations.

As much as I dislike fat people, PT's are probably the bigger meme.
Although I'm not sure I'd trust a Fat person's witness report
