What could be better

“The one about expectations hits close to home. I was not prepared to be pushing supplements and having to sell packages so hard. I had no idea personal training was 95% sales and 5% training.”

“Making a big deal out of dramatic spinal curves can be a real downer to your client.”

“One thing I don't like about James is that he's failing to acknowledge his rise to fame. He talks to young people as if they are likely to have the same opportunities as he's had.”

“With your 'Sorta Healthy' gym brand, you guys are attracting the lackadaisical crowd.”
