The Dark Side Of The Fitness Industry | Jenn Aguirre

Yeah

... just crazy.

I wanna ask you, 'cause, you know, you, you do in person, you do online, what is one of the biggest mental blocks you see in people? What is your biggest, for lack of better words, fucking excuse people give you when they come to you and they, and, "I can't because..."

Uh, I'm too busy.

Too busy.

And I always say, like, I have a single dad that's got an autistic daughter who's a cop who works out at 3:00 in the morning and then takes his daughter to everything that he needs to.

I have a single mom of four kids with three jobs, and she makes it work.

So everybody, and I literally just voice noted to a client that quit, like, two days ago, and she is telling me, "I just don't have the time." And I said, "No, your why is just not strong enough."

Yeah.

Like, you just don't want it bad enough.

Right.

Like, I can make it work.

I told you.

You could-- You don't have to do a two-hour workout.

You could do a 45-minute workout in your garage.

I write out workouts for people that work out at home and in the gym.

So, like, I can make it work for anybody.

There's a 25-question questionnaire.

I design the workouts and the schedule a- a- based on what they, what their life is.

I'm not gonna set them up for failure and tell them they have to do a two-hour workout when I ask them how much free time they have-

Mm-hmm

... and they said they only have 45 minutes.

But time and, and that's the sa- So I always say, like, when p- people first join my program, they say, um, I send them a judgment-free zone, and I explain to them about how I want them to share everything with me.

Like, be, don't be embarrassed.

Don't feel like you're gonna disappoint me or anything, because I have done some fucked up shit in my life and to get food, to binge and purge, and the only time I'm ever disappointed is in people that quit.
