#Bicep blaster professional#
I've seen that culture, and the harm it can do, and for that reason I will steer clear of Enterprise.Įnterprise Fitness is taking professional commitment and undivided attention to a whole new level. I don't think this place is a good fit for women, or people who don't like 'gym bro' culture. The trainers I met were all lovely and friendly, but I really feel compelled to write this- despite being nervous about backlash- because the nutritional advice and the way people are pressured into this business have the potential to be really dangerous. I was so so clear that I struggled with body issues and this was completely ignored and was very detrimental to my mental health.The session where I actually had a movement assessment was fine, but standard.

Misguided and outdated, but potentially dangerous both nutritionally and in terms of encouraging eating disorders.Despite saying up front I didn't want a focus on my body, I was pressured into skin fold tests, photos, and publicly weighing myself. Telling people to avoid gluten when they don't have intolerances is completely incorrect advice, arbitrary and weird rules like no coffee after 1.37pm (what? Why 1.37), and horrible damaging advice like 'eat fun food around your friends so they get fat too' says everything about this business's approach to nutrition. Advising people not to eat colourful vegetables is ridiculous. The nutrition advice booklet I was given was alarming, outdated and dangerous even though the trainer told me to disregard portions of it.
I had thought it was two sessions and then I could assess but it didn't turn out to be that.I came back for the first session the next week, and the senior trainer was lovely but it was obvious that it wasn't a good fit, and that what I had asked about weight and nutrition had not been listened to. When I said look I don't think this is a good fit for me, I was convinced to sign up for a fast track service which wasn't properly explained to me. I felt very pressured towards signing up without ever having a work out or knowing what I was signing up for, and despite saying I wasn't sure about the business. This was initially agreed to but then ignored. I said repeatedly that I did not want to talk about food, or my weight as it's something I found quite triggering. I prefer working with women- there was only one female trainer on the books out of 14 and she was booked out, I said I didn't feel very comfortable working with a man but this was brushed over.
The person I spoke to was very nice but it became apparent to me quite quickly that it probably wasn't a good cultural fit for me. The men I dealt with were all really lovely, and I can see how this would work for some people but I feel it's important to explain why it didn't for me, and why some of what is being done here is harmful.I made and online inquiry and had a prompt invitation to come down and talk, this was fine.
I am not commenting on the training because I didn't really have an experience of it, but on the onboarding and risk assessment, as well as the nutritional aspects. I'm trying to be really fair here so please don't attack me. I think it would be worth considering how you can respond professionally to negative feedback, because attacking people and calling them 'anti man' is not it.***I'm really nervous leaving this review, because I've seen that the business responds quite aggressively to negative reviews, however I feel as though I have to because my experience was negative.

Yes it absolutely does say those things in your manual (including remove Gluten), I have photos to prove it.I think the response here underscores my point, this is a pretty aggressive and 'bro' place. Edit- As expected a negative and attacking response and labeled 'anti man' wow.This is exactly the problem I was raising! I was very aware I was going to get a nasty response to this, and was really worried about doing it for that reason, but it's important to stand up to bullies.Firstly, I never mentioned 5.45pm? I don't know who 'we' is when I am responding to this, I used my name- I'm not sure who is writing back but will respond as best as I can.
