Imagine that, an exaggerating American, who would have thought it?

Nine Pack · 21-03-2007, 07:07 PM

I'm concerned by the amount of shellacking this guy is getting here fellas. Whatever the time frame he did it in, he did do it, and either way there's nothing wrong with being proud of what you have achieved. If he has found a way of making a living doing this with others, why should'nt he? I'm a PT myself & was on the verge of a breakdown in my 9-5 job. Since I started doing something I have a genuine passion for, I have never been happier. I think he's at least due some recognition for making the life positive change. For sure, he was headed for a heart attack if he stayed like the 'before' pic. I myself have testimonials from clients that can sometimes seem a little unbelievable to the onlooker, but I tell no lies, every one of them has made a significant change in thier appearance & health. I even have clients that use this forum.

Of course, PT's in the US are a little 'louder' than we are over here, but that's how you get noticed in such an aggresive industry & if you have gotten results with yourself & others, you'd damn well better shout about it.

It's very easy to be negative & cynical in this day & age, which is why people see someone making such a radical change find it difficult to comprehend & sometimes hit out. Take a moment out & think how proud you would be to make such a change, in however long a timeframe. We all strive for improvement so let's encourage each other instead of going for the jugular.

Sorry to waffle.

Thats fair enough Paul.......but this is the part of the forum where people put their pics for comment not for free adverts.

And the fact that he hasn't even been back to view the comments, or to even post on any other thread......

Agree with your post tho but I think this dude is not as genuine...

Nine Pack · 21-03-2007, 07:45 PM

And do you not think it's possible he read the responses to his first post & decided we are not worth bothering with? Maybe that's why he hasn't been back......

I was given a real welcome when I joined the board & it's why I'm still around as there's a lot of nice people on here & I have made a lot of friends. It would be good to see him given the opportunity to prove his claims. I don't think I'd post again given the responses he got if it were me.

ARNIE · 21-03-2007, 08:07 PM

fu**ing sinical ,

its all true!
ive edited as now i feel a little bit tight mabye he is just very proud and wanted everyone to visit his site!

ah24 · 21-03-2007, 10:53 PM

Paul, i see what your saying - but all of his first replies were really encouraging! I thought it was good and was going to post - til i saw the advert he snuck in!

Nine Pack · 22-03-2007, 10:28 AM

So what if he placed a link on his post? I don't begrudge anyone a living. When I've opened my gym, I'll be a shameless self promoter. If he fell foul of the board rules, he'll be pulled up about it but that's a job for the moderators, not us.

Did'nt see anyone whining about James mentioning his DVD did we? No, and quite rightly so. Just because you aren't familiar with this guy does not mean he should be dismissed in an instant. I may be wrong about his intentions to stick around, but I guess we'll never know now. I was at least willing to give the guy a chance.

Magic Torch · 22-03-2007, 11:43 AM

Fair enough, I will appologise to the guy if he comes back.

Ok, group hug ;)

Ollie B · 23-03-2007, 09:22 AM

Bloody yanks. always selling something.

Nine Pack · 23-03-2007, 09:48 AM

And yet you have an avatar of an American...................

The whole basis of any economy revolves around someone selling something to somebody, be it a product or a service so I think you'll find even us Limeys are always selling something too. What a bunch of b*stards, trying to earn a living, oh the shame!

LEWIS · 23-03-2007, 10:29 AM

he's not going to get many clients on a uk board if he were looking for work

Nine Pack · 23-03-2007, 10:31 AM

Precisely, so why is everyone so suspicious?

Anyway, everyone should be booking James L & me as thier PT! :p

Ollie B · 23-03-2007, 10:37 AM

me and my big mouth. gggrrrhhh!!!
