Is she too out of shape to be a fitness consultant? Is she setting a bad example!


Question: Is she too out of shape to be a fitness consultant!? Is she setting a bad example!? !?
I am a fitness counselor, so i feel like i need to be in exceptional shape to lead the way for my clients!. I am a size 4, i can lift 100 pounds with my arms, and 200 with my legs!. I can easily run 5 miles, and i generally burn about 600 calories in my cardio workouts, which i do 5 times a week!. Now, i have to pick a woman to be an assistant trainee to have the job i do!. She is great, and sweet!. She knows a lot about health and nutrition,and i think she would do a good job but she is not in amazing shape!. Is it just me, or is it reasonable to want fitness trainers to be in extraordinary shape!?

These are her statistics:
Height:5'6
Weight: 150 pounds
Pant size: 7

Fitness statistics:
She can easily run 1 mile
She can lift 40-50 pounds with arms
She can lift 70 - 125 pounds with legs
She can do 30 minutes on the Stairmaster
She can do 90 minutes on the elliptical

She isn't fat at all, but she definitely doesn't have a six pack!. Am i being too harsh!? What do you think!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
She is probably more relateable than you may be to most!. Personally, I am in between you guys but I would not be put off by her!. I think that if she was out of shape, then yes!. however, if she is fit and doesn't look fat than you are fine!.

However, I do agree with you, if someone that is not fit -- it is hard to justify trying to get fit from someone who looks worse than you!. Trust me I loved working out and taking classes from the people that were the most fit because I thought!.!.!. these are the people I want to be like!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should hire someone back on how good of shape they are and their appearance!. If you don't feel that she has a body that looks healthy then hire someone who is better qualified!. For me If I were to hire a personal trainer I wouldn't hire someone who looks out of shape!.

But based on the fitness stats you listed she looks like she's in good shape!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I am a Personal Trainer and yes u are being very harsh!. Every body is different and u should know this!. Some can exercise their hearts off and still not look all that!. It's just the way it is!. Knowledge is what's important and she obviously has it so give her the job!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

You are being completely unreasonable!. If she can do the job, it shouldn't matter what size she is!. Gyms aren't supposed to be like an episode of WORK OUT on Bravo!. Normal people go to gyms too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think you are being harsh and it sounds like she would be someone people may relate to better so she could be a great replacement for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, your being extreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemely shallow that's all!.!.!. seriously, 150 pounds, and you have to ask questions, wowWww@Answer-Health@Com

I'm envious if she is 5'6 and a size 7!.

I would say you are being harsh!. And it is good you are going in for a second opinion!. Besides she is probably in better shape than the people who need counseling!.

Heck, I know that if I came in and saw the two of you I wouldn't think "Oh well that trainee isn't washboard abs, so I think I will take my business elsewhere" Www@Answer-Health@Com
