Playing on Vanity

Some people don't get what i do for a living. Very simply - i live in a country that is consumed with appearance and i make money off people's vanity. Haha! Kind of joking, but seriously (after 2 1/2 years of experience, i have yet to have a client come to me that was satisfied with their appearance and just wanted to workout for health benefits). Truth: i work under the title "personal trainer" (but i like to call myself a "personal encourager"). Regardless of what your imagination conjures up at the thought of a personal trainer, i don't yell at my clients, i don't make people throw-up, i don't make people forever hate gym facilities/fitness, nor do i encourage weight loss (in fact, i hate scales and wished they didn't exist, but for the sake of science - i must use them). Maybe i'm not your typical trainer "as-seen-on-TV," but i would like to think that i am a normal, you know, average health professional striving for max...
