Please, please don't hire a professional counter!

He's at 7... Needs to get past 10 to qualify!

5...6...7...8... S**t! What's next?? Oh 9! Thank God I've hired this "personal trainer" to attend to all my counting needs!

This is genuinely one of the most annoying things for me to overhear in the gym, someone stood over a client, counting 1 to 12, set after set, in the same bored monotone. Seriously? Do you have anything else to offer? Show some personality!

Look, obviously it's important to keep track of what's going on but if that's all you're going to do then sooner or later your client is, A - going to get very bored / annoyed or, B - going to realise they can do this themselves and have some peace and quiet whilst doing so.

Sometimes it's easy to forget what the P in PT stands for. People want that personal touch, that escape from their day to day routine. So please don't make your training sessions something that has to be suffered. Be yourself, talk, share and bond, that's the best part of the job.

Just be yourself and let your personality show through, that's the key to being the bet you can be. (And counting in your head).
