Actually, nobody in this industry is going to come in and say that - male or female. This really is the "weight loss" industry. Just about everyone who hires a trainer wants to lose weight. Hardly anyone is interested in gaining muscle or, heaven forbid, actually bulking up. In the real world, I have come to learn that no man cares about training lower body, and no woman cares about training upper body.
It's very misleading to get into this field from having been educated on the internet, because online, it's roughly a 50/50 split between people who want to "bulk" and people who want to "cut". In the real world, it's "cut", 99% of the time. Lol, you'll never get a bodybuilder or some skinny teen who wants to bulk up. Damn shame, but that's the way it is.

Why am I a chauvinist for pointing out something that I have observed on a daily basis for years and thousands of other men could likely attest the same? It's an
observation. If you don't like it, blame the people being observed - i.e. the types of women I wrote about. They are in EVERY commercial facility across the country and the world. You don't know how much I'd love to work with a dedicated female athlete. That's exactly the type of thing that I need to establish my reputation. It's a crying shame that there are so few eligible candidates among female gym-goers.
I am not suggesting that the women on this board reflect the images that I wrote about earlier. Quite clearly, that is not the case. However, you must come to realize, as I have, that the internet and real life are two VERY DIFFERENT entities. Have you ever been inside a commercial gym?
