I think I would ask him whether he gets a bonus for selling all the supplements first. Then ask him to explain in detail with references what he meant by the fact that "your body is now ready for them" in addition to the metabolic process that will be altered by such an elaborate assortment of pill, powders, and potions.
Regardless of his answer, I think I would then publically embarrass him by yanking his pants to his ankles in the middle of the gym just prior to dropping a 45 pound plate on his big toe while screaming at the top of my lungs "YOU'RE FIRED!"
Sounds like they're using the Apex training system (also providing "nationally recognized" personal trainer certification!!!
) which is a great tool for selling personal training services and supplements. I have a buddy who is a gym owner nearby who is thrilled with the profits he's gained by implementing the system.
I'll bet you $250,000 that you can achieve your desired goals (within the capacity of your genetics of course) by eating food and exercising.
Do something for me...take your thumb and index finger and put them as close together as you possibly can without touching them together...that's the difference that those supplements could possibly make.
Eat food, strength train, and burn a lot of calories in a short period of time.
Usually the simplest answer is the best one, and I don't think he has any concern for your health in general or your best interest in mind.
