7 Fitness Trainers You’ll Encounter At Lebanese Gyms

If you’re a gym-goer then you have definitely met at least one of the following types of fitness coaches:

1. The one who never has time for anything but him/herself

They lounge around the gym on their phone, chatting with people, taking selfies, and rarely ever training anyone. Dare you ask him/her for help, you’ll get a death stare, an eye roll, and a little: “yalla yalla jeye la 3andkon, 3melo 20 sets.” 20 SETS OF WHAT?

2. The fitness coach/nutritionist/life mentor

This personal trainer will occupy all the empty places in your heart. He/she not only cares about your physical shape, but everything else you want to change in your life.

3. The one who thinks they’re training people for the Olympics

The best kind. They’ll give you 200% and will expect the same in return, but they’ll also scream at you from the moment you step into the gym and until you leave.

4. The flirt

You know that one gym where the trainer is identified as a sexual offender by half the Lebanese population? Yeah, because same.

5. The best friend

This trainer knows your personal stories more than your daily training schedule. And when you’re on that treadmill, he/she is always there coming up with the right comeback for when you’re in a raging fight with your significant other.

6. The trainer who has supposedly traveled the world and singlehandedly won every competition there is.

This trainer will suggest you do leg training 2 days in a row, because “sad2eene hek kinna na3mol training tahet 2eedo la Putin wa2ta kenet bi Russia“. Um okay bro..

7. The supplement advocator

This trainer will try to sell you on several types of proteins, shots, and pills that “will increase your endurance.”
