I did see the new gym manager chatting to the new PT on Monday but clearly whatever's being said to him, he's just not taking it in properly.

I'm not even sad that after all my hard work and I only now start to get clients. I felt like my hard work finally paid off, but when a new PT comes in and does literally nothing yet instantly gets a client whereas I had to work hard for it... this is where my problem lies.

I can't go to a new gym to work because I'm already licensed to this one. Not only that, you have to build a reputation before anyone really gets to know you... though I guess evidenced by this new PT... apparently not as much as I had been lead to believe.

I feel I just need to work even harder. Be at the gym more, force myself to become even more sociable with others and push harder to become even more recognised.

Currently I have the advantage that this new PT is admittedly kind of bumbling around. He has no clue what he's doing and thinks that everything is just him floating on a cloud. Not everyone is going to be like his first client where they're going to be THAT prepared to have PT and be severely overcharged because the guy had no clue what to do.

Hi there,

I apologize for the delay in responding. It's good to hear that you spoke to your managers and they took on board with what you said. I know a lot of managers that don't.
Please continue in doing what you are doing. Your hard work will definitely pay off one way or another.
