I'd like it for us, cause all three of us, little background history here, we all worked in the fitness industry for a long time.

We all worked in the commercial, like big box gym, fitness industry. And there's this, kind of, there's all these things that happen behind the scenes that people have no idea about it It's a great place just cuz I'm not a miss it dude just a little bit. Oh, it was a it was a guy that's a camaraderie sort of fraternity of people I think it's a great way to put it there. It was a good time But you know, I think I'm gonna I'm gonna point. I'm gonna just talk about one thing and I guarantee you guys have both seen this in the locker room Okay, and we've we talked about someone's for but I'm gonna go, I'm gonna just talk about one thing and I guarantee you, you guys have both seen this in the locker room, okay. And we talked about someone's before,

but I'm gonna go in a different direction. Oh. There's those old motherfuckers in the locker room. The last goddamn thing they put on their body, is they're fucking underwear. Why don't they walk around with just a t-shirt and socks and sheds their teeth, shaving their hair, they don't care anymore. They're just walking around completely naked. around with just a t-shirt and socks and shirts and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t-shirt and a t your shaving his face. I know you guys have seen similar shit to this. Of course, no, that's the, you're so spot on.

You're trying to ball, it is. You walk into one of these big box gyms and you walk into the men's restroom. This is also why too, the, almost 10 years that I worked there, I can count on, probably, well definitely one hand. Maybe you only once or twice in my life that I ever shower there.

You actually showered? I did, I did. And I think it was early on. You brought slippers. Yeah. Did you wear a body condom? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Once you see some of the stuff that happens there inside there. I mean, we had a we had a throw and this was the only one I was like, I think my second year in, well, yeah, it's a Friday night. And we get a we get to we're at the front desk and one of the front desk girls comes right on the floor. I don't know what I mean, she's like, Adam, you have to go in the men's locker room right now. And I'm like, okay, what's going on?

She says, well, one of the other members say that there's a guy in there and he's masturbating. Oh my God. And I'm like, this happens to everyone. I just happened to me actually. It's, oh, go tell your story. And I'm going like what do you mean masturbating like and she's like well I don't know I don't know but some of the members said that you have to go check get to go check and I'm like I'm not It's probably the same guy dude, so he will know this port. Okay. This guy. I almost felt bad for this guy

Right, so this is what he was doing so he was he was masturbating to other men showering and He was he was about it. He's showering. And he was about, he looked at you and he's like, not that there's anything wrong with that. That's your thing. Absolutely things. You're like, you're in a race of jam, yeah. We need to get the clear about it.

When you do it in a shower that has no curtains. You're standing right next to the guy you're drinking off to. So I'm looking at you and the car is, you feel sorry for him. I feel, I almost feel jealous. Well, so listen. Imagine showering with a bunch of chicks. I mean, he's enjoying himself. I heard it. I heard it.

What am I peers was where and I most certainly pounded off on him to do and go in there and handle. Which is it? So I told me to go check out what's going on the bathroom. I heard someone was going on. I didn't tell me. Yeah, it's going on. There's something crazy going on.

I'm going to check it out. Yeah, it's very vague to him to get him to do it. So he goes in and handles the situation. And by handles, he tells the gentleman to get his clothes on. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and do it. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it.

And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it. And he goes, I'm going to go in there and handle it. And he goes, I'm going to go get him to do it. So he goes in and handles the situation. And by handles, he tells the gentleman to get his clothes on this and that and then he's going to bring him back and we're going to sit down top to him. So we go sit down top to him. We look at his account to see any emergency contact. He must walk on this emergency contact is his... And the only reason why we're looking at that

was just looking at who do we call to to pick this guy up, take him out of here. And it was kind of a weird situation of how do we handle this? And let me guess, you didn't even take away his membership range. He's still a member of our team. He's still a member of our team.

I guarantee he is. By the way, to get kicked out of some of these gems, you have to kill somewhere. You really literally have to kill him. Yeah, like you can jerk off in the shower and let me guess that you kicked him out for the day. Oh, let me tell you right now, yeah, absolutely, that's exactly what happened.

The day, I've seen more of my employees, which we used to piss me off. I've seen more of my employees fired over bullshit members situations because we cared so much about keeping a membership going and EFT than we cared about the employee which used to just fucking hurt. What's EFT for the listeners? Electronic funds transfers. So you want to keep the member paying the monthly dues?

Yeah, which, you know, you know, you get most people don't realize that you get suckered in Credit card companies. Yeah, paying that for Yeah, so I've seen that happen a lot But so anyways this guy's emergency contact is his wife. Oh, fuck call it down here And she has no idea of her husband's fetish or anything that's going on and so it all gets brought out And it's like this in barris. What did you say? Please pick it up. I was there I was there, but I wasn't the one hand on the conversation.

In fact, I believe it was Jeremy. I think Pee-Mon. Oh, no, he did not just say that. Yeah, I just, I believe we might have to bleep that out, my god. I believe it was my buddy that was working with it. He knew our own or works there. So, but I believe it was him.

I'm not sure though. It was quite a while ago when that happened. So, but the crazy part was the wife came down and you know, you could just see like she was like, she was in tears, like this is like whole family issue. It's really embarrassing. She came in, she's like not a gem. You know what's funny?

I bet every person that's worked in the fit in a gym for longer than like a year has probably encountered the dude that jerks off in the shower I bet it's it's actually kind of common all three of us have had had had to deal with this Yeah, well, I was an assistant manager and like I was the only one the weekend and so this is one of those situations where Somebody came out and complain to like hey this guy is you know whacking off He's doing this thing and there and I'm like, hey, this guy is, you know, wackin' off. He's doing this thing in there, and I'm like, I do not know how to handle this. How did you do? How did you do? I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, manager, I think, and then we basically, I pond him off on her and then she sort of dealt with him

his membership and what, but I don't think that I lost the membership. This happened, God, I dealt with this situation a couple of times, but one time we'll always stick out to me because I was the assistant manager and at the time the general manager was there. So of course, who gets to go in there and tell the dude to stop jerking off me?

Because the manager, I'm not the top guy, right? Just like you, you pond it off. I'm the one that got pond off. So I walk in the shower, I walk in the shower area, and this dude turns around real quick. So I'm like, ah, it's this motherfucker, I just know it. So I kind of walk around a little bit, and then I see, you know, the dude's got a fucking hard on.

He's turned around, but he's got a fucking boner. So I say, sir, I need you to come talk to me. Excuse me, yeah, excuse me, sir. I need you to come talk to me after you're done showering. He's like, why, what's going on? And he wouldn't turn around. He's like, he kind of looked over his shoulder. You know, I was like, because he could, he was like, why?

What's going on, like, I need you to talk to you about your membership. So he comes out of the bathroom, comes into the office. I sit down with him, I have the, you know, it's me and my general manager in there. And I'm like, look, yeah, there were some complaints that you were being inappropriate in the bathroom. He's like, what do you mean by being inappropriate?

I'm like, well, you know, you're, I don't know what to say. I'm like, what the fuck do I say? So I'm like, you were masturbating in the shower. He's like, well, how did you know it was me? I just, well, you're the only one with a bowler. Exactly. Exactly what I said. I didn't know what to say. So I'm well, you were the only one with a boner. Exactly. Exactly what I said.

I didn't know what to say. So I'm like, you were the only one with a boner. You're the only one with a boner. You're the only one with a boner. There's no other medical way you can put it. Yeah, you're the only one who, is he's like, you know what he said to me? You're the only one who said to me.

No, this is what he said to me. I'm not supposed to go right now. He goes, that's how I naturally look. How the fuck do you argue with that? You're like, wow, impressive. Yeah, well, excuse me, sir. I apologize for the misinterpretation. That's how I naturally look. How the fuck do you argue with that? Wow. Yeah. Well, excuse me, sir, I apologize for the misinterpretation. The misinterpretation.

Did he say? May I shake your hand? Because that's why you were impressed. So you were just lathering it with soap. That's hard to read. Yeah, you were making sure it was really clean. No, I'll tell you something else I've seen. And I've seen this more than once.

This must be a fucking thing or something. Women in the sauna, and there are a certain culture, we're not gonna talk about with culture, but they're in the sauna, and they're like, using a pumice stone to rub the calluses off their feet. Oh, in the sauna. Oh, God. What are you doing in the sauna?

It's like, you have to tell them, like, can you please get out and do that somewhere else? Oh, that reminds me of a guy that I yanked out of a jacuzzi one time What was he doing about I walk in I walk into the shower and jacuzzi area and this dude is is fucking shaving his face, bro He's shaving his face while he's sitting in the jacuzzi and he's rinsing the blade off in the water and he's just Doing his business, dude. What do you say? You know what? You just stand there and you stare for the first couple of minutes because you don't listen or what?

No, not at all. Not at all. I mean, I think it had a mock three blade, bro. I think it was an expensive blade. I think he was using. So, you know, it's just like they just think it's okay. And so, a part of you isn't just shock and awe before you walk over and you approach that.

You're just like, what? And there's probably like you were lost for words with the whole boner situation just kind of like well do we does it say we can't shave than jacuzzi? You start to question your like this is okay wait this is why the membership contract is so long they have to name everything you can't do no shaving no masturbating right so i'm going like shitting people get to that you know and you just approach the guy excuse me sir Yeah, you're not you're not supposed to do that in the jacuzzi we have a sink in the bathroom actually that you do that in oh And then they just they look if you just like blank look like oh

I didn't know that I oh this is news to me. Yeah, I can't shave my face why all his all his stuff His doubles are floating around I shaved my face. Why all his stubbles are floating around. Seriously. What in your mind thinks that somebody else, you think somebody else wants to get in that, dude, you moron. I think every gym has what they'll call,

we used to call them the Phantom Shitter. Let me explain what I mean by the Phantom Shitter. And every gym has this, I guarantee it, or a variation of this, okay. At least, maybe twice a month. Someone in the men's bathroom would take a shit and I'm not exaggerating. Like it explodes.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it wasn't exposed, it's a variation of it, right? Okay. It was the size of a brick. I don't know how you can human, I don't know how it's you. Like it looks like an elephant took a shit in your eyes. How was this? Who put the elephant shit in the toilet?

It was like you gave birth. It was like the size of a fucking brick. And it would sit in there and you flush it. And the water would swirl around. But this fucker would stick with stayed inside. And so the poor cleaning dude, the poor porter, you know. That's a break you have. This Hispanic dude barely spoke English.

And I'd say, you know, listen, you know, is a break it up this is spanic dude barely spoke english and i would say you know a listen you know there's a poopoo with it and the poor dude would look at me like ah like again like you fuckers don't you guys don't pay me enough so one day i went in i'm like dude i'm like how do you like i told him like how do you what do you do with this? yeah you can't flush you flushed twice sword of god the water would just go down and the thing would stay up that shit out

it would a whole yes He would get a call the anger and he stabbed that fucker down the toilet Oh, it's a dude. We never found out who did that but I mean I couldn't I mean it's not Explained to me explain to me what kind of conversation you have when you do find that guy What do you say? Excuse me? Sure you got to stop shitty like bricks? Coach about a shit or what part of me is kind of like I don't know man. I coach him on a shit or what? Part of me is kinda like, I don't know, I'm like, you gotta check the shoes, right? Yeah, like half of me is impressed

and half of me is disgusted. Like half of me wants to go up to him, be like, sir, good job. That's a big, that's a big, you did a great one, but you know, can you save that for your house? So, we can't flush that. I got a story for you guys, this,

you know, talking about these great gym scenarios and the, what did you call them talking about these great gym scenarios and the, what did you call them, the phantoms? The phantoms, sure. We had a phantom seat cover guy, you know, the little can liners, right, for the toilets. And I come in, I work, I know we got to work like eight or nine in the morning, and I'd come in the bathroom, and that's like the first thing, and I'm going to take my morning glory and stuff like that.

So I start my day that way. And I'd come in, and this, there would be all the seat covers all over the floor, all of them, all the floor, all over the floor and wet. This is myro, so it would mess, an absolute mess, and I'm going like, the first time was like, what the? Well, you gotta eat like, why?

Yeah, exactly, I'm so confused. You're gonna cover their wetness, or? It doesn't make sense to me, right? So I see that. And then it becomes this consistent thing that's starting to happen. It's happening multiple times per week, right?

And I'm starting to get really pissed. Because now I'm like, okay, somebody is like purposely just, we put a brand new C cover up there. Next time I come in, just all of it ripped out, all over the floor, smeared, and I'm just like, okay, I'm catching this motherfucker, you know? So I start getting to the gym a little bit earlier a little bit earlier everything so I start getting there before this is happening And I literally stake out you I get in the other I get in the other stall. You just chill in there chillin on the toilet, bro I don't even I've had to be in there for like an hour dude. Just chillin

You know just sit in there waiting and waiting and waiting till this this is before Instagram So I got nothing to do. I'm in there. Dude, there's no words with friends. There's no cell phone to find. Yeah, there's no Instagram. There's no words with friends. Yeah, so I'm bored to shit. Just wait and, but I'm heated though. I'm just getting angry.

I am just getting angry waiting. And then longer I got to wait. I'm getting pissed, right? And I'm in there. And then I hear this guy come in, right? And you see, and you see the, you hear this, what he's wet. He's coming from, he's already wet.

He's coming in from either the jacuzzi or the sauna or something. And you hear the footsteps come in. And then you hear the door close and he sits wet. He's coming from already wet. He's coming in from either the jacuzzi or the son or something and you hear the footsteps come in and then you hear the door close and he sits down and before or when he sits down you hear all this rustling around and stuff and I'm like sitting there watching and then all of a sudden I see all the toilet is starting to come out. All the seat covers starting to go all over the floor. He's like, oh you motherfucker. I'm just like, this is the motherfucker right? So I let him do his business, handle this thing, and then I go out and I stand in front of the door, and I'm just waiting.

And he comes out with his head down, and just trumps all over his freaking seat covers that he just fucking smeared all over the floor, and they're all soaking wet because he's soaking wet and you stand in on him, sitting on him and drying his feet. Let him asshole. Right?

And he's starting to walk out towards the door, and I'm standing in front of the door. I go, uh-uh. Get your ass back there there and you're picking up all that shit right now. And he was just looking at me like just this blank look. You caught me. Oh, totally. You know, I'm saying he wasn't gonna argue with me. He's a little guy. He's a little tiny little Asian guy. You probably wait a buck 45, you know, standing there looking at me like like a deer in a headlight. What do I do right now? And I'm like, I ain't going nowhere nowhere do you pick every piece of that shit up?

And why he's sitting there watching them? Why is it? What makes you fucking think? Is that you're talking about oh? Yeah, I'm watching a pig and I'm still in fear because you know of course I was so angry I wanted to beat him up beat him up, you know, so I Want to lay into him because he didn't give me anything right? He didn't push back He got caught, you know, so he knew he's so you just started picking the shit up But I wanted to hear like why why the fuck would you do this? What in your mind thought that was okay for you to rip all the fucking seat covers out

and then to trample over it and you're gonna do some of that stupid to not fucking pick your shit up? I mean, it's already bad enough you're gonna do it, but then you're not picking it up, like that's, what's wrong with that hair? What is your hair got? Oh, that's so pissed, dude.

What's with all the dude? How long I can do this and not get in? I actually had to make signs. You're gonna love this. I had to make fucking signs to put above the hand-dryers. And I had a picture of a hand. No balls. Thank you.

What the fuck is that all about? So listeners, let me explain to you if you haven't seen this. If you're working a gym long enough, actually no. You're gonna have to work in a gym for fucking two weeks before you see this. Dudes will blow, they'll use the hand dryers to dry their balls. They will blow dry their balls. Literally, they'll put a leg up on the sink.

They'll waf, they're freaking stuff around with their hand and blow dry, and it was such a problem. I had to put a sign above the hand dryer with a picture of a hand, and I a for hands only do not dry your ball Please don't dry your balls. Isn't that like the captain Morgan pose? Yeah, I mean, I guess it was straddle the counter at least I was the jewellery right it straddle the counter straddle the counter So one puts up on the counter so they had a nice little angle and like you said they would waf their balls Yeah, and you walk in there and you're breathing in air that's been blown off of their balls.

Well, I always wonder. So the one is one of the locations I was at, they actually, this was always so absurd to me, we accommodated this insane thing. We would actually, they moved one hair dryer up. So our one of hair, Sam called hair dryer, the blow dryer, hair dryer up high enough to blow. And one low? Yeah, and then one really low. I'm just like, So you're accommodating this. Yeah, so totally accommodating. I'm like, you guys are killing me here. That's a enabler. If I open a gym, I'm putting a dice in air blade.

You know those really powerful ass when they're seeing your balls in your gym. Dip your balls in this way, you son of a bitch. Yeah, I'm blowing right out there sack. You'll walk out with no balls coming out your sack, you asshole. Why don't you use a towel for blowing, You know what the fuck is that all about? How about the how about this I guarantee you guys have seen this the girl that's on the stair master and she's leaning way over

Draped over the handles and her feet are moving two inches real fast. Oh no better the one the one that's doing this They're saying she doing all the ballerina moves off on the Stair magic What is doing the glue kicks and everything? to move off on the stick. Yes, it's there, right? What is that? Doing the glue kicks and everything, right? Do these people exist in every gym?

They do. And so is the sweaty guy. We still do. The sweaty guy. This guy calls ass. Like every single morning, he is, and here, I gotta give him credit though. He put like towels like right next to it,

but it was so disgusting. He starts sweating like instantly. He starts running. He sweat. He sweat as a gym that we all worked at before. So he used to put, he used to put the towels. He's coming in the ass. He starts running. He sweat. He sweat is a gym that we all worked at before. So he used to put the towels. He's coming in the like, he knew he's sweating. That much of you would actually bring these.

He'd wear the same blue tank top. I know exactly what you were talking about. He was playing out about this. I know he's exactly mad. Fuck that guy. Go on me out. Yes, asshole, we know what's you. Everybody complains about you.

Have you guys ever had to kick someone out for smelling? Like for sticking to that? So there's a story. I used to work at this place in Campbell that was like kind of in a warehouse. And so we had this later that was part of a boot camp in the morning. And I mean, she came in and not even maybe like a drop

of sweat came off of her. Immediately engulfed the entire place with this disgusting body odor. Oh my God, it was so bad that like we tried to put up with it for a while and get rid of it. Because it's a hard thing to approach. Yeah, how do you come up and tell somebody like, you smell too much. Lady, like you stink and we're all gagging.

And like, there was no place to hide. It was so impressive. I could not believe this, this stretch, this lady could produce. And yeah, like I think it was a month. And then, and then the later on the gym, she literally had to set her aside and be like, I'm losing, I'm losing people because,

because you can shower. Like, smell. That's horrible. She had to say that too. I got one for you. I had this guy that, so when I first got promoted to be an assistant fitness manager back when I was 21 years old, I took over the guy before me who was a really talented

smart trainer and very successful now privately. And when I took over his clients, you know, he kind of went over all the way with me. So he's like, you know, here's this person and they're all these like regular. He's been with him for a long time because he's a, he was a great trainer. And he gets to this one guy and his name was Muhammad. We won't say his last name, but I want to sell him out. But he tells me that, so here's the one thing about this guy. He says, he's a great client. He'll do whatever you tell him. He's super consistent, but he kind of smells. And I'm kind of smells. He tells me

kind of smells like that. I mean, what do you mean by he kind of smells? He's like, well, you know, I think it's part of his culture that he doesn't, he doesn't use deodorant, you know, so he kind of, he kind of smells like well, let me, let me tell you, first of all, this guy, he was probably about 115 pounds, little skinny guy. I didn't want toodorant, you know, so he kind of, he kind of sped up. Well, let me tell you, first of all, this guy came, he was probably about 115 pounds, little skinny guy, and he wanted to build muscle, right? And the guy who I took all this, this was a total buff guy that everybody wanted to look like he was the best looking trainer by far in the gym, for sure. So, you know, here comes this client and the crazy part is, the students he walked in the

door, you knew he was there. And this was one of the big boxes. So it wasn't like I was in a little, tiny little gym door. I you knew he was there. And this was this was one of the big boxes. So it wasn't like I was in a little tiny little gym. Like I was in a little warehouse. I'm in a full 35,000 square foot location. And this dude would walk in. I could be all the way on the side of the gym and I could smell him into the building. And the story is in the forest. Oh, dude. And he used to wear a jumpsuit. And then he had this gray. he always wore the same gray wife-beater which it smelled like it's never been washed before. But he'd wear this gray

wife-beater and he had a full jumpsuit that matched like those nylon ones and he'd wear it, wear it and through half the workout he'd wear it and there's just sweating inside there and then halfway through he'd unzip it and I was personal training him. I need to open up that. Oh dude. So this location that we were at too, so you used to have this hallway that where everybody used to do like all their stretching and like, ab work, it was perfect.

It was kind of away from the weight room area and you know, there's no weights or machines nearby so this open floor space. And a lot of us trainers would go back there and that's where we would train clients so we can do a lot of. Body weight stuff. Body weight stuff, you know, stabilization things,

exercises and stretching, and ourselves back there with plants. So I used to come back there, and there was always, I don't know, anywhere between, you know, six to 15 people in this area, it was a decent size area. And when him and I would walk back there, everybody would just get up and leave. And we'd have the whole back area of ourselves. It cleared out. It was so bad. It was unbelievably offensively. I have never ever say anything to him. No, dude, it was so. It was out it was so it was so bad. It was unbelievably offensively. So I have never ever say anything to him. No dude It was so it was it spicy. Well, you know what was the most let me tell you was so embarrassing It was so embarrassing that so I'd be training him right and there'd be so there'd be like three four

And there's always that guy in the gym who doesn't really care about feelings or doesn't care about anybody else And he'd be like what the fuck is that smell? He'd say it all out. Oh, yeah right next to us You know like and I'm like training him just knowing it's my guy, right? and he'd be like, what the fuck is that smell? He'd say it all out. Right next to us. You know, like, and I'm like training, I'm just knowing it's my guy, right? It's my client that smells like that. 100% sure that's what he smells.

I don't know. I think he even the head nodded. Oh no, they turn around and look right at him. They're clear out of him. You know, saying, and the the embarrassing part was, you know, like my client didn't ever say anything. And it's just like, you know, he knows, he's got to know, you know.

But like everybody likes their own brand but so for them So his culture so his culture What what it is is that that's actually like their fair mones and that it's for women it's supposed to be attractive and that's why they don't wear Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that the Interview a female Very fine see if that holds true. Yeah, well, I think if she's pretty Americanized It's probably not very true because obviously our culture is very different.

I'll tell you something, when I get real sweaty and stinky, my wife loves it. Just kidding. Not, it's actually the opposite. To be honest with you. I do you ever guys ever had a client hit on you? Cause I got a story. You know what I'm gonna tell you?

As personal trainer. Just bear crap in the woods, right? Yeah. As a personal trainer, this is gonna happen to you eventually. Oh, there's some stats out there on personal crap in the woods as a personal trainer. You're gonna this is gonna happen to you Eventually, oh, there's some stats out there on personal trainers in the it's gonna happen to you I'll tell you what happens. I'm 18 years old. Okay. I'm a baby. I'm a youngster and I'm training this girl And she and I'm not gonna say her name But she was I'm not making this up. I swear on my life when the show is over guys

I'm gonna look her up online so you guys because because I'm not making this up. I swear on my life when the show is over guys I'm gonna look her up online so you guys because I'm not making this shit up. She was an ex porn star Oh my god, okay 18 you get to train her. I'm 18 years old Lucky and she's an ex porn star. So she's a retired. So she's like 30, you know Which is like super old for porn stuff, right? But she's so she's 30 years old. So she's still pretty right yeah a lot of mileage There is what you're saying maybe yeah, she's been around the block a few times So I used to train her and she would, and I'm 18, so I'm really like intimidated. I'm really easily intimidated.

So I'm training her and when she would, like, moan on the exercises, so you know, like people like when they grunt, the she wouldn't grunt. She would moan. I have a story about that. So she may have a client just like that. So it's not just me.

Oh, definitely not. So she'd be doing like a leg press and she would go and she was a poor star as well. Yeah, and she'd go, oh, sell poor star as well Yeah, and she go oh So my fitness manager would always come back and be like, so why is your shirt untuck? Like listen, don't make me fucking tuck my shirt out because I don't know what to do. I was so intimidated by this girl By this woman because she would she would do this she'd mown on the whole gym and just make these little comments I had a lady. It was absolutely. I had a lady that just absolutely used to mone so loud

that the whole weight was stopped. Oh, no, she would. Each rep would be like that. And you're going like, I'm going like, oh my god. I'm just looking around the whole time. Every dude is like stop mid-set, like watching her workout. So they just break out and like,

she was so she looked spot on the Tina Turner. She used to look spot and she used to come in from hair all done, she come in these high heels, these spandid pants and stuff like that, dark red in the Tina Turner. Tina Turner, dude. I thought it really had turned on that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

I was not turned on at all. It was more like, oh my God, this is embarrassing to shoot. I don't think you had anything to do with me. I think she really just like trained like that. And I'm sure she liked the attention. You know, she was rocking the spank. Yeah, I think definitely is. The attention effect.

Yeah, I think, I mean, I'm pretty sure she was no dummy. She knew that every dude was staring and watching after that. So, well, I think if you're a trainer, if you're a guy, it's almost like, I don't know if they feel like it's okay to kind of approach this and say things to you. I mean, you know, obviously, as I got older and became, you know, like, okay, this happens. You know, you kind of, you approach it very professionally, and you ignore it, and then they eventually stop, and then you become good friends, and that's it. But man, I remember at 18 years old, when I first became a trainer, I was so uncomfortable.

I just scared the shed. I mean, that's all I did. I mean, I'm young. I don't, you know, I'm like, why are these women, like, what's going on here? And, you know, to hear this, this X-Pornstar moan. And this, she was like, I mean, if you looked at her, you knew she was an X-Porn Star. She had like quadruple D boobs, and she'd come in these little tiny clothes, and it was really obvious, really uncomfortable. So I used to, I actually used to,

I was very candid with my staff, and when I'd be talking to like my male trainers that worked for me I would sit them down and like pre-war them stuff so I went through all the same thing just like yo's young and when I first started and I was a cute little boy so I had the the soccer mom train some priests oh sorry this is the soccer mom shit I went there I went too far too far. Too far too soon, bro.

We just lost like a thousand listeners right there. So anyways, you just made me lose my train. God, so bad. It was so bad. You were okay. You just start over. You were young. Oh yeah, yeah.

So we definitely went through all that as far as like somebody hitting on us. So I used to sit down and actually talk to my trainers and say, this is going to happen. And you're all going to tell me, oh, yeah, no, we're out of my mind. But then there's going to be a few of them. They'd be very tempting. And they're going to be, and then add being a guy and knowing that you know, you're going to, you're going to think about it. And I'm telling you right now, if you care about this as a career and a business, it'll be one of the hardest decisions you'll make, but it'll be one of the smartest

things that you do because those clients, if you keep it professional and you don't cross that line with them, they will buy from you for very, very long time. Well, you've actually become very good friends. Exactly, they'll, you know, because at first, they will be a little persistent at first. They're gonna come that way. At first, they will buy personal training

with the intentions of hoping just to take you home. But if you're good enough to break through that barrier and hold that temptation, you'll probably get a client for life and they will end up turning that way. And you know, probably 20% of the guys listen to me. You do. The other 80% did. And you always knew which ones didn't.

You could always tell. You ever have to fire someone over that? Oh yeah, no, I've like got some trainers for stuff like that for sure. And it's so obvious the ones that do. Oh yeah, it's so, yeah, the body language. That's so much. That's so much.

When you're a personal trainer, okay, and you're supposed to be teaching your clients some serious movement so that that, and you spend an hour every single time she comes into your work on your doing glute kicks over on the yoga mat while you sit in here. Where you're stretching her. You're stuck in the wrong side of her leg.

You're stretching her. Here's the rule. Stop doing that. Here's the rules. When you're a personal trainer and you've got someone on their back and you're stretching the wrong side of her leg. You're stretching. Here's the rule. Stop doing that. Here's the rules. When you're a personal trainer and you've got someone on their back and you're stretching their hamstrings, number one, your head is on the outside of their leg. Number two, you don't make fucking eye contact. And you don't kneel down so your pelvic dress isn't like-

I've had to talk to trainers about that before. I think the funny thing is though, the craziest thing I've ever had to like fire a trainer over was a sexual thing. It wasn't them fooling around with the trainers up with the client. I walked into a gym. It was a new club. They gave me, here's your new club. You can run it.

And I walk in. It's my first day there. I go around. I'm walking around the weight room. And there's this personal trainer. I shit you not. He's training his client. His client's working out.

This fucker's sitting down on the bench, so he's not even standing. And he's eating out of a full-size bag of fucking Doritos. On the work out floor, while he's training his client, he's eating chips, asshole, fire, get the fuck out of my gym. That's probably the craziest thing ever. I mean, I think this is crazy because the balls. Oh, you know, it's like balls.

No, I've had many conversations with trainers who would bring their Starbucks coffee, and they'll coffee and leaning against the machine or their training. You guys have no idea. The part that I had such a different approach, right? So inside of Matt, but then I think they're just retarded. So I gotta get explained to them. I had to break this down to them that, let me explain to you right now. Do you not understand that the average person will actually shop a personal trainer

for three months before they even purchase? So they say that they watch in the gym, they watch this trainer, they look up them, they find other stuff, they watch with their clients, before they make that decision. Say that's the average person, three months before they make a purchase. So your dumb ass is leaning against the machine,

sucking on coffee because you got this one client in front of you, but you've now turned off 15 other people over the course of the last couple of weeks that have seen you train like that. How can you be so stupid? I want coffee too, but jeez, hiding in a sports energy drink or something are find a different way to make it look professional

and most certainly don't do it. And look like you're into the session. Yeah, right? Stop leaning against the machine. It's really chilling. It's why a lot of trainers have bad names now. I feel like now there's this huge wave of people that are talking shit about trainers. the machine. It's, and I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, how to become a person. I know. The market and everything is changing. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
