am Michele McDaniel I am a personal trainer a proud mom II obsessed with anything cartoon all-around nerd cosplayer and today I'm giving you a little mix of Barbie from Toy Story mixed with Mary Hart so yeah I actually cuz I don't love it and I don't know what you guys think but I feel like I'm going to walk around Walmart like this so there's a new story out about a personal trainer who turned down a woman for entry into one of his fitness classes because she is too fast according to him though I thought that we could read the article together because we are together family so we are gonna read the article and then I'm going to give you my opinion from a personal trainers point of view before we do start I do want to tell you guys that these videos are going to be just not as intense as my other videos and you know what there's a week that I am not putting out intense and long videos that means something is coming on this channel and that something is Powerpuff Girls week which I'm excited for which I was gonna make this week I was gonna make just a lot of shorter videos and then I just my mind and imagination and and past theater high school student just took over me and I'm making it pretty much like a whole freakin production and I packed you and I have to be over-the-top and that's just me so make sure to hit that subscribe button so that you do not miss Powerpuff Girls week you called me alright let's read this article personal trainer tells woman she's way too heavy for his class a 350 pound woman was rejected by a personal trainer who said she was way too heavy for his fitness class Lisa parrot 33 was mortified when workout instructor Gary Randall who goes by the moniker buff master buff master I think we're working with the stereotypical fitness person that I try to avoid told her that she was quote just too big in quote for his boot camp program at uk-based Gym slimming world which Perry joined earlier this year the response over Facebook Messenger was devastating to parrot who has fought to lose 35 pounds since January 35 pounds since January is amazing so let's just give Lisa just a good job and a virtual round of applause when she noted that to Randall he replied that she still has at least 6 months more before qualifying for his course qualifying ok interesting choice of words for a personal trainer class so then Lisa posted the messages from the personal trainer or the instructor and let me just say this these messages are just full of grammatical errors that my ass even caught I am the worst at like grammar and misspelling things on the internet because I just type type type type type and then I I get the next message and then I just texted first type so if my ass caught these things that's pretty bad so let's read these messages bye Lisa hope you're well I seen you in class and I'm sorry to say I won't be able to help you at boot camp you're way too heavy now so I hope you get where you want in your fat loss journey and snap chin the very best of luck bus master the fact that he ended it with buff master is just really off-putting I asked why that is obviously I know you help people lose weight which is what I'm doing yes I do but you've gone too far sorry so focus on the gym for at least six months then let's see where you're at can I ask your reasoning yes you're just too big for my bootcamp that's all if you lose about 5 stones of fat I'll be able to help you achieve your goals also 5 stones is 70 pounds I mean why am I too big for bootcamp I'm just asking as it will help me to know I'm not picking et cetera just helps me to achieve where I want to go the sort of training won't suit you at your current weight so maybe after about six months down snap I might be able to help you parent who has anxiety and an emotional support dog to help her told the son I don't hide from my weight but I do expect a professional person delivering a professional service to give a better response than that why didn't he come over and have a quiet word with me when he saw me after spending a night in tears over the embarrassment she ultimately decided to post the exchange on Facebook to raise awareness I was worried that if he said something like that to the wrong person they might not be here now I wanted to raise awareness so I posted it on Sunday night a few hours after his message Randall also took to Facebook to defend what he called an honest approach to his work always best to be honest in my business sometimes brutally hash tag team buff master she is a very silly woman she is the one making herself look like a fool the situation has been blown out of proportion parrot says she's been overwhelmed with the support she's received on social media including the many offers of gym memberships and training sessions by other more willing fitness instructors when it first happened I just wanted to give up she said but now I am determined to prove him wrong okay so a few things from a personal trainer because this personal trainer personally thinks that this other personal trainer is an [ __ ] because she's got the receipts of his responses he looks like he's being an ass now it could have came out the wrong way and and translated in the wrong way through messaging because some people just don't know how to message you know those people that just they just don't know how to message and it comes off as rude and then you talk to them in person you're like huh but with that being said one what she said why didn't he talk to her at the class as a professional you have to get to these talks with people and sometimes they aren't the most comfortable talks they have but you're a professional you be a professional and you talk to that person there's a weight limit on certain machines and I've had worked with some very big people who wanted to try sorting machine and I have to tell them well there's a weight limit your weight is this and we can't do that we can still work to get there so that you can get to be able to do that machine just like the woman that I talked about a while ago who is too big to be on a trampoline and she finally got to a certain weight to jump on a trampoline and she posted her pictures something like that you know you can't there's certain things that you're too heavy to do when you're working with obese people you have to be very careful and personal trainer world obese people are called a special population special populations are older people obese morbidly obese people children like knit women and I'm sure I'm forgetting a few but those are the four that comes to mind right now being a personal trainer a lot of your clients are going to be obese some might be morbidly obese and so you have to have these kind of talks with them and they're uncomfortable but it's good to communicate these things just because you don't want anybody getting hurt and I think that's what he was probably talking about with his course it might have been a very explosive course she's heavy and it's not safe to have all that weights to jump up into the air and then swag down on your knees it's already hard enough on your knees if you are obese or morbidly obese just walking so jumping is not the best thing to do I can't speak for him but that's what I would think was going on through his head and why he told her this and why he told her you need to lose about 70 more pounds to be able to do this type of workout which brings me to my next point communication and how you speak to people whether it's on the internet or face-to-face you want to make sure that you construct your sensitive in a sensitive way whether you are one of those people who tells it like it is or you are just easily able to be sensitive towards people it's still a sensitive topic and you don't want to be like you're too fat get the [ __ ] out of my class you just have to simply explain to them that you are a heavier individual they probably know this and you'll see er you're doing it for safety purposes like I said before I've worked with very heavy people in the past and I have this conversation quite a bit it's kind of normal for me to have this conversation now I kind of nip it in the bud straight from the beginning I don't need to wait until later on when I email them or whatnot I have it to their face so that they know and they understand they can hear how I'm speaking and I can tell them it's that we have to just be careful because of your weight and eventually once we get to a certain point then we can start doing all these other things that you want to do so we set it as a goal so what would I do in this kind of situation if I was instructor so before the class would even start I would talk about you know the special population and and certain things that could happen so that everybody's on the exact same page modified movements I would keep a watchful eye on anybody that's form is bad and that's going with anyone whether you're a special population or not I would make sure that everyone's form is good but with obese people their form can be hindered because of their extra weight so you make sure to look out for that kind of stuff because you don't want anybody falling and I'd make sure that they are doing the modified movement so everybody would kind of know why we would have modified movements the purpose of it now that I'm fat shaming anyone it's just to help your knees and your health and that you don't want to get hurt especially on my time so then if something does happen everybody kind of heard that I gave everyone explanation and then you decided to go against what I just said and you rolled your ankle something got hurt and that's on you so in my professional personal trainer opinion I can see what he's saying why he said it but the way he said it was very rude sorry they're cutting in the grass outside when I'm trying to work the way he said it definitely came across very rude it gives people like in the fitness industry personal trainers muscular people a very bad name I Haven there's stories like this because then people probably see you my titles know like oh she's like that she hates fat people she's judging a fat person when most people in the fitness industry knows what it feels like to you know not be comfortable in your body most people who are trainers or compete have some type of or have a pass when it comes to food binging and and disordered eating but people like him and the way that he talked to her and approached the situation makes people like us look bad unfortunately so I wanted to put my opinion on here you guys have been asking my opinion and just bombarding me and slipping and sliding to my gm's which I completely love I wouldn't have heard about this if you guys didn't it so keep on sending me these stories and I will keep on making videos so now you heard my opinion what is your opinion if you were in that situation what would you feel and if you were the personal trainer how would you approach the situation I'm looking forward to reading all of your comments don't forget to hit that subscribe button so
