I guess I must be one of those poorly educated trainers (I have my own
facility - mostly machines). You'll have to stand in a long line behind those that
truly believe I am poorly educated. I will admit to being LAZY, but I don't
need to "teach" unnecessary skills. "If you need always need machines
to train a person, then you are not a trainer but a babysitter or
"rent-a-friend" for an hour."

I personally see that as being a mainstream thing, as I have seen that
behavior in commercial and private settings, but this is never something involved
with my personal "machine training." Anyone who charges by the "hour" allows
for any low grade modality to rear its ugly head. My training rarely is over
30 minutes.
"Hang off a building for as long as you possibly can, and just when you're
about to fall off, try to pull yourself up. And when you're halfway there,
have someone grab your legs and pull while another person step on your hands.
And keep on trying to get to the top of the building. It hurts like that. You
know you've had a really terrific workout if you want to throw up. It's that
bad. But it also works, if you want the pain and can focus and stay with it."
That is an actual written client quote - not so sure I'm a babysitter or
"rent a friend."
