6'4 man to train!

lucyfly Posts: 30 Joined: 2004/06/22	2005/08/31, 01:26 PM I am the only personal trainer here at my facility and I've mostly been dealing with women. I got an appointment with a man that's 6'4! I'm a 5ft tall! I'm a little intimidated by this! There really is no way I could spot him in any heavy lifting. His goals are not mass but fat loss. I know however, I won't be able to get around lifting heavier than I can handle. What do you guys think?

My arm will suddenly give out in dumbell presses for some reason, so I always have another guy my size or larger spot me with them. goodluck lucyfly. Just use your female qualities to lure the other lifters into spotting your client for you. :)

lucyfly Posts: 30 Joined: 2004/06/22	2005/09/01, 08:05 AM Thanks charlie and gangster. Personal trainers are limited here and usually we end up just training the spouses (I'm on a military base) But there are civilians that need extra attention too. teflon. here we charge 35$ and hour. Its usually a lot more expensive elsewhere. We charge less here just because of the community. We want to help out and get more experience I've only been training for 8 months now. I've got a lot to learn and I just recently started to get paid. I had a few guniea pigs in the beginning. :big_smile: Usually you can pay anywhere from 50-150 dollars depending on the trainer and your goals.
