Why Getting a Fitness Expert Is really a Growing Trend Among Seniors

Hi there I’ve always struggled with this question. What is a reasonable amount to charge per hour? I’m certified through ACSM and I earned my bachelors in Integrative Health Science with intent to go into physical therapy. It’s always been tough for me to gauge the exchange between my time per hour and pay. I want to make a difference in my community and inspire health into people but I also want to be paid what I am worth. How do you find that balance?

Could you please do some sort of talk for us in and around the London area Rob?

Spot on solid advice and entertaining. A very charismatic ambitious young man all the best to all of you

Me eating a taco Bell burrito in the morning while watching this

Good words I’m afraid at 39 I still dont no what I love to do hate it I blame me self haveing Dyslexia

I’m a bit late to this video but its helped!

I’m right at the start of deciding about doing my Lvl 2 gym instructor and Lvl 3 PT course.
I’m trying to watch as many videos as I can that involve a career in fitness before I fully commit!

I need to know the ins and outs of what a day in the life of a personal trainer is like, whether is self employed or working in a gym/health club.

Any advice from Rob or anybody would be great! TIA.

Guys are you still continue with the podcast? the last podcast seems to be Dec24-2018???

This is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Awesome video, with all your success you’re humble and will help anyone out. Perfect advice for me right now!

Never met people that make you feel like you have to convince them to take care of their own health and fitness? Like it is not enough to explain them why is good to do x, y, z… they are not intrinsically motivated at all to commit to their commitment. How you manage to text to all your clients all the time?!?? O_O

Bro you just summed up how I am feeling right now. I am passionate about fitness and well being. I don’t find any happiness or drive in college. It’s draining and I just can’t sit in a seat anymore. My parents are not with the idea of me dropping out. However I would rather work a 9-5 and downgrade for a while and work on spreading awareness and love for fitness. I am thinking of dropping after this semester for good:)

Wish I hadve found this channel sooner! Very informative and great insight into the fitness industry. Love the energy man ������

This is one of your best videos yet Rob! Gave a lot of good feedback and tips and just spread such positive words. Thank you����

Thank you! thinking of doing personal training. Thanks for this

Love your videos mate. Truly inspirational and has helped me on my own weight loss journey from 23 stone to 15stone. Have you thought about fighting KSI in his next boxing match as I know you have been doing a bit of MMA recently?

ROB you defiantly watch Gary Vee ���� or else you just have a very similar outlook on betting on your strengths and going all in on your STRENGTHS ���� great talk mate ��

Well hello Gyies..
Well everyone is talking about…experience
I am fresher in this field
Recently i have completed following softwares
1)PS
2)Ai
3)ID
4)corel drawer
5)Also doing Ui/Ux

Well guide me how to start….
My journey in the field of earning and turning myself into a designer

As a junior you should be able to explain button and content hierarchy. Also the reason you use certain elements and how that relates to the user. If you can’t do that then you are not even a junior UX designer. You are a designer with some UX knowledge.

A good personal trainer should educate their client but also learn from their client

If you run out of topics or knowledge then you need to learn more doesn’t have to be technical just practical stuff helps as well

Finally like the rest of the fitness industry stop lying to people

Worked 10 years in the fitness industry, my first couple of years I worked in a hardcore bodybuilding gym and then so much truth and knowledge been spreading so forth

When you get to the commercial side from the media managers down to instructors so much BS being spread

Thank you so much Rob. I needed this one and I am right where you were in 2014, I’m 22 and have earned my spot in the best business school in Germany but I’m not able to keep myself up. And just like you back then.. fitness bodybuilding is what I love. I love putting out content on Instagram and now thinking about YouTube. Once again, thank you.. I heard this at the right time.

Your the only personal trainer I’ve seen who actually looks like a personal trainer. The rest are either skinny fat or just skinny af in general.

Man, you always hit bullseye. Thanks for the video. Can see that you’ve gotten so much wisdom through life. Keep it up ����

Do you have a video that gives advice to people in other design fields, like graphic design, motion graphics, web design e.t.c. trying to get into UX or Product design? I’ve been having that problem personally, especially with my portfolio having multimedia design projects instead of UX focused ones.

For the NASM certification, did you go with self-study, premium self-study, guided-study, or all inclusive? Depending on which one you chose, why did you and how was it beneficial?

Rob, I really liked this video. Been following you on Insta for around a 6 months… But watching your videos has been super cool to learn more about you. Keep it up.

This is amazing this really help me out for producing further content and improving the quality of my brand

I just want a pt and when I’m all fit and stronks they can be proud of their work and of me

Great vid rob love all of them ur so inspirational keep at it man

Being a good personal trainer is about helping out clients in such a way that they talk about you and word of mouth keeps you in business. Your mindset of not wanting to help train ppl into independence seems skewed.

Thanks man amazing video so motivating. really love your vids.

Just watched the video again, now with my new intern.
I have almost 10 years experience as a graphic designer and have recently started with UI and UX. So I feel like a junior in this area.
In general I believe that if you stay humble, love what you do and KEEP STUDYING is the key to climb the ladder.
There is always somebody who will make you “feel like a junior” and you will always make someone feel like a junior.
There is no end line to knowledge.

Finally, someone says a PT is an unhealthy motivation!!!!!! My PT guilts me so much saying I should stop being “lazy” and I have to “push through”. I find it so toxic and discouraging the words she says…when I work out myself, I push myself way more even if my muscle is about to give up because there is no one around me calling me “lazy” and I can progressively overload at my own pace!!!!!!

points very well explained… it was a must watch, glad i didn’t skipped:P
one thing as per my suggestion, you need to be in an organization where you are not the only designer. By asking seniors for help will help you grow more and look at things with a different and right perspective instead of wasting time in designing and after deployment end user tells you “i want to do this and i am confused how to do this in here”
PLEASE ALSO MAKE PODCASTS FOR GOOD AND BAD UX (with real world examples)
Thanks for such awesome video.

hey Rob, came across this video today and loved it a lot!
This really sticks with me -> Don’t compare your chapter one to someone else’s chapter 10!
Thanks for that!

So there is hope to having a great body without a personal trainer. Look at him! He did that without a personal trainer

CT Fletcher gave me the motivation I needed. Just listening to his videos while working out was so awesome back in the day

Why do pt stare at me at my local gym? Like dagger stares ive never talk to them.im a guy btw

A lot of personal trainers here saying he’s lying bc again, this video takes clients from them once we all realize what they’re doing. But as someone who has had 5 personal trainers, a lifetime of sports coaches and STILL doesn’t know how to tweak my diet and exercise myself bc they kept me reliant on them… every word he’s saying is true. Sure there are good PTs out there, but those PTs admit there’s an issue in the profession. So that tells me all the ones in the comments here are the money hungry assholes who don’t want their potential clients to find out they’re getting screwed into being more dependent, not independent

I can completely relate You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t!! The landlord analogy… You hit it right on the head. The goal is ALWAYS to retain that client for yearrrrrrrrrrrs! I’ll tell you this, as someone who’s been a private PT for years, I’ve found myself having to be a professional business man / marketer in order to keep my PT business alive! It’s a freakin’ beast and it’s NOT for everyone. If you don’t have marketing skills you might as well turn to Ubering or flipping burgers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He is only charging me forty pound for 2 hours a week my home or gym or beach or park running.

Sorry to tell you, but the truth is you don’t love people and you are self absorbed like a a lot of PTS, wake up!

It’s a waste of money. You can provide yourself with all the knowledge that a personal trainer provides. The internet can tell you everything you want to know about nutrition and training. A personal trainer only provides short term motivation. There is no reason for people to hire personal trainers unless they are competing in sports at a competitive level. A high school kid who wants a football scholarship would benefit from a trainer or a bodybuilder who wants to take it to the next level. Then there’s actors who need to look a certain way for movies. Besides that, your average gym goer is wasting their money by paying for personal trainers that provides you with stuff you can find for free!

I can’t watch this fucking video with all his huffing and puffing

No offense, you haven’t ever been around a world class trainer or strength Coach to talk

I’ve interviewed dozens and dozens of personal trainers. As the owner of a personal training and teaching kitchen facility since 1989 I can say that 99% of personal trainers have no idea what they are doing. The so-called “certified” ones were the worst.. My biggest problem personally was that most of MY clients stayed too long! The average client was with me 15 years. I started out WANTING SPECIFICALLY to make my wonderful clients independent and set them up in their home gym. I also owned and operated two fitness supply and commercial gym design brick and mortar businesses since 1985. Commercial gyms today SUCK in terms of equipment and lack of serious health and fitness minded people. Serious adults never go there.

I would really like a personal trainer to teach me about nurtition and weight lifting. I don’t need to motivation. But, I’m tight on money and I feel like it’s so much harder to learn without that one on one.

Wow, you became a personal trainer for literally all the wrong reasons lol

CORRECT ME IF IM WRONG, SERIOUS DEBATE ABOUT BECOMING A PT IM OPEN TO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS…
here are my concerns:
1) the clients that are not motivated enough to take their health seriously probably wont follow your plan correctly and might not get the results they desire, in return they can hold you responsible and give you bad feedback even though it is down to their lack of trying, lets face it lots of people are naturally like this who blame you for something they cant achieve just because you had input.

2) the people who really would be worth the time to train, who take their health seriously, who are motivated are more than likey not going to bother with a personal train er in the first place, like myself they are so motivated to get the job done why have a middle man?, we got internet now you can find out how to do anything if you can bothered to try find it.

3) if i become a personal trainer i truly! would want to help people by teaching them all they need to know about diet, training, benefits, how-to etc.. there will come a point where they will know all they need to know and if youre really passionate about helping them that will come sooner then later which is so ironic, eventually they will question why they are paying you when they no longer need your advice (like what was said in this video). its true though, what kind of idiot would pay some one for something they already know or can do without that person?

4) i honestly predict the only clients that would be beneficial are the ones who have high payed jobs or have extremely limited time to train, smart motivated people but simply dont have the time to look into how to get fit, due to this they would probably be looking for the best of the best most experinced PTs, so beginners probably wont get these kind of clients and lets be honest they are usually the smart switched on type people so eventually they would cut you off too when you have taught them all they need to know.

5) the current recommendations and guidelines on diet and training exercises are always outdated, the cutting edge new scientifuc breakthroughs take years to hit the main stream, so if i use the new ideas i researched about i.e what to eat and how to train because it would contradict the status quo people would more than likely reject it, for example if i told a client protein isnt that important they would think im crazy, not to mention risking losing my licence because i dont follow the “standard” FDA bullshit approved recommended healthy diet, so whats the fucking point?, its not personalised fitness at all its just passing on mainstream, misleading bullshit, or lose your qualification, like wtf is going here, corrupt.

in conclusion: so if i have to lie, mislead people and sabotage their fitness to keep them in the loop and always need my expertise whats the point in doing it in the first place?, it defies the whole objective of why i wanted to become a PT, which is to teach people how to live healthy and be fit, so keeping people in the dark would sabotage my purpose, plus i think this stuff should be free anyway so id feel get guilty or reluctant charging money for something i would happily give away for free. the types of people who would truly need my knowledge (like people who are rehabilitating from some disease) i wouldn’t be able to bring myself to charge anyway and there will probably be legal reasons as to why im jot aloud to help them. so in my opinion being a PT is not going to work for me personally. its no better than being a person who teaches someone how to ride a bike, once they got it they wont need you, so yeah fitness is staying my hobby not a career.

That was a great chat Rob! Would be cool to talk to you in person maybe one day!

Thanks for the feedback homies! If you wanna hear more of the same come along next weekend https://www.ticketweb.ie/event/the-creator-agency-summit-part-royal-dublin-society-tickets/8058495

I am just starting my career as a UI,UX designer. I am really interested in the topic as you said, and I found you guys looking for resources and learn new things. I would have just a question. How can I know what to study and where to start? I would need a very basic book or course that teach the basics of UI and UX. Any suggestions? Thank you very much!

Better outlet for you but not your clients. I love my PT he saved my life. Plus I learned everything but stay with him for motivation and support.

Hi, I have one question!I’m 203cm tall(90kg) and I go to gym.In gym,gym workers advised me to engage personal trainer because he will give me some exercises which will enable me to do squats, dead lifts,push ups.I dont have money for personal trainer, so what can you advise me? I repeat once again, I dont have money for personal trainer.Thanks and sorry for my bad english.

You just don’t accept people. You must interview them first.

what type of packages do you recommend offering for online coaching and personal training?

A client reaches a point where they no longer need their trainer. Isn’t that the ultimate goal?

You don’t have any credentials. You might want to spend your time learning what you are talking about ��

Please go back to personal training I need one and you seem so trustworthy!

some people like to workout at home, some of them at the park and some of them prefer going to the gym. in my opinion, diff people diff approach. i understand what you are trying to say. but im gonna disagree with you dude. some are just to broke they can only get information from the internet and do it at home or pay entry fee at the gym. but some of people need a pt so that they dont waste their time on self learning and just go straight for the goal and tadaaa! they are in shape while still make time for their business. thats the magic when you hire someone to do something. similar to when you hire someone to edit your video or repair your phone. you get the job done more faster. rather then, find information on youtube how to edit video this and that or how to repair your camera this and that. its gonna take forever. people can do anything with their money so yeah. 150$ seems a lot to you but 150$ is so little for those have the money.

I’ve watched your video and read the comments. As a personal trainer myself (the generalist one as you describe), people come to me after they have tried many of the different options out there, (Weight Watchers, gym membership, crash diets, even putting a home gym together like you have done) and found none of them worked. I am sort of a last attempt to break through their mental barriers in an area of their lives that constantly defeats them which is Fat Loss. My role in this situation is to provide as much assistance as they need without overloading them with too much information. In my experience there is no point giving people information they haven’t asked for, they simply don’t take it in (reticular activating system in play). I think if you are working with bodybuilders, powerlifters, or aspiring athletes it makes sense to provide online training and/or educate them as much as possible as they tend to be passionate about exercise and can do the workouts with specificity, volume and intensity without you being there. This however, is not typical of the average population, who need extrinsic motivation before they gain enough confidence to go it alone with a sport, gym, increased physical activity as a part of daily lifestyle etc. I tend not to do the whole hide information game because I just come off as ingenuine, and people won’t trust me, use my personal training services or refer me to others. I think those that do this earn a decent/average wage but will never become outstanding i.e. the top 5%.

Rob can you please go on the ask Gary Vee show, that conversation would be legendary

You are a respectable honest man. Much respect. The goal of a teacher is for the student to no longer need the teacher. Thanks

This is a weird question but If you have an Injury which means you can’t work out how do you lose weight because I was told that officially I’m slightly overweight and I used to have a food problem so this is freaking me out

Nutrition? And meal plans… Thats out your scope. Thats why I didn’t wanna be a trainer for the longest because you can’t make meal plans and have to refer to other people..thats bs in my eyes.

In my eyes i will to break world records snd start uploading.. so people can take me serious

I don’t understand why people are hating on him he pretty much told you how to save money and that you can learn online… what’s so bad about that?

I still don’t understand how you get people to actually pay you. I am a trainer to, but people always say they want to train with me but they don’t want to put up the money they just want me to meet with them and train them

Are there good courses to study when you Want to Start Business in the Fitness industry?

Can you please email me at [email protected] gmail.com im really interested in becoming a personal trainer

Hey everyone, I’m currently trying to find out how one could make the lives of fitness trainers as yours a lot
easier 😉
Which is why I have two very simple questions:
1. ​As a personal trainer do you sometimes struggele with getting high paying clients Online? If so, what are the 2 biggest issues you’re dealing with?
2. Regarding getting online clients, what would you wish for more than anything else? Thanks so much in advance looking forward to reading your answers!

Really appreciate the insight. Thank you & good look in your work

Most trainers at the commercial gyms are scam artists and are sneaky in what they do

100. I did the same. We teach a lot and the client doesn’t need u anymore.

Very helpful video.
I would request of anyone can email me PDF metrial as notes of NASM for personal training I’ll be thankful.

I can not understand you, everything you did not like about being a personal trainner is exactly what could make u an excelent personal… educate your students… is like a teacher at school trying to keep their students stupid so they never graduate.

Dude learn how to talk you smack every time you open your mouth

Most of the gyms accept NASM or ACE. In what circumstances we should get a NSCA or a NCSF certificate? What are your thoughts about them? Thanks for the video.

The reason you failed is because you talk too much. Just guide them and COACH them. You don’t give them tips and too much knowledge because you’re just compromising your job. It’s like giving them tips on how to become a personal trainer. Be the leader and not the follower.

Hi! Great Video! What’s your opinion about personal trainers who are 45 and older? If someone is over 45 can he or she become a personal trainer?:) Some people are saying “age is just a number”:) By the way you are a nice looking lady:) Thanks for the video!

Why is NASM prestigious? Someone said it and someone believed it, and the comment I don’t like those people? Really because of a certificate? Sorry little girl there are excellent trainers with lots of experience and get results without any cert just because they believe all the certs are a waste of money!!

If you want to learn how to build your business… hands down, I recommend Stu at http://www.TheSixFigureTrainer.com. I took his e-class and he is the real deal. It’s some of the best information I’ve gotten on marketing, lead generating, how to approach new clients and how to keep clients so you don’t have a lot of turnover. He talks about getting started as a trainer at ground zero too and it would have been really helpful if I was just starting out.

Stu also has a lot of free articles that are extremely (like extremely extremely) helpful… but I would do his e-class if he still offers it.

tbh u r a huge inspiration!!! tnx for ur video <3 ur story kinda reminded me of myself, I'm 20 and at the beginning of personal training path. just have a question, are nasm courses and certification for the international student,too?

If you are a new trainer, I would recommend http://www.TheSixFigureTrainer.com with Stu. I found the site extremely helpful.

I actually took the e-class Stu does and it really helped me get started. One cool thing I learned was how to use 2 different maps to find high-end gyms in my area to work at and how to get an interview and get hired. Stu was really helpful and super nice. If you have a question, just email him and he’ll get back to you pretty fast.

This talk is a mix of Christian Guzman and Gary Vaynerchuk, love it!

So true that we’re in an era full of possibilities and knowledge. We got all of the information we need on the internet for FREE, just need to be able to identify the bs from the real stuff. People don’t realize how fortunate they are to have access to these things and end up just wasting their time with it when it can be so helpful. Awesome seminar, very informative ��

Step 1: Be Attractive
Step 2: Be Attractive
Step 3: Be Attractive

Just wanna say your story is inspiring!! Girl you’re doing great keep going!!

Wonderful and insightful video! What software do you use for your online clients? Thank you!

Yeah, I think the getting certified part is really important.

I start my PT course soon I can’t wait and I live in the UK to can’t wait keep up the hard work hun

Really interested in becoming a personal trainer here in Henderson tx.

I would have to strongly 100% disagree with you. I work for a University In Northern Canada. I educate my clients…because I believe our jobs as personal trainers ( CSEP CPTS) is to educate and teach our clientele to be healthy. If you are good at what you do, you will have multiple clientele knocking down your doors to train with you. You don’t have to rely on permanent clientele….PS ( I have a waiting list for people to see me ) so I’m the type that does not leave my clients in the dark. I give them a lot of information, motivation and it keeps them coming back! Cheers

Thanks! This video is really informative!:) I’m thinking of going into Personal Training and these videos are really helpful! For anyone looking for more information on this, i’d recommend a video called “Personal Training Career Options (Pros and Cons)” by OriGym. It’s really in-depth and covers pretty much all your options:)

This video is really awesome. For me as a Junior Designer I still struggle on asking the right questions, sometimes there’s a lot going on my head and I kinda mess what my original question or point is.

Hi! I just recently got my NASM cert and am wanting to get started. It is going to be really rough trying to do that and a full time job. However I didn’t want to leave my job until I had a few clients. Any advice on this? Should I tough it out and juggle both jobs for a while, considering I am not sure when I’ll actually be able to afford a living as a trainer, or should I go ahead and take a leap of faith? It’s hard making decision because I am not sure how long it typically takes to build up clientele. Any advice is much appreciated, thanks ����

I have a problem, I’m not building any muscle mass no matter how much I train what am I doing wrong?

What’s up Rob! Feeling really inspired bro, thank you so much for the help. I’m actually going through something very similar to your story you spoke of. Dropped out of college, starting a fitness course soon and o just really want to be a successful entrepreneur. I’m yet to show my parents that I can actually make money out of this. Big ups you you man, I’d really appreciate if you have any advice for me. I’m passionate about fitness but I’m overweight and I’m wanting to start a transformation and vlog it on YouTube as I progress. Any words?

Make sure to close your mouth when doing head lifts to avoid neck strain.

I was considering studying UX to break into a new career. Glad I watched this video.

Rob you are such an inspiration mate, people tend to forget that universities are run by private organisations who are in the business of profiting from students. Debt is at an all time high, and unemployment is all too common. Passion is something that you don’t teach you in schools, and you have motivated me not to go back to studying my Osteopathic medical degree, I am going to work hard, save money, invest wisely and grow a social media audience. You emulate everything I wanna create in this world. Any suggestions to improve my videography editing skills? Keep on smashing the industry man! Thank you for producing such high quality content. Ben

You said you don’t like “those people” who don’t get certifications? Do you feel like reading a book qualifies you more then someone who has been in a gym working out for 10+ years? Just curious because I see a lot of people who get certified and start training people but have barely even worked out themselves

This content is so useful! I am about to change career to UX Design and I can’t help watching your videos. I am excited to receive my copy of the Workshopper Playbook and dive into it. Until then, I have 3 books (Sprint, Blink and Made to stick) to read, thanks to your recommendation. In the next few months I will attend a Product Design course held by my dream workplace (with a clear intention of making an impression and asking them for an internship or junior position ��). You just justified my plans, so thank you guys! Also the picture at the end made me laugh so hard.. �� Lots of love from Hungary! ��

The absolute man Rob! Loved your talk and learned so much. Been doing videos for a couple months now and I absolutely love it! Thanks for the motivation my man!

This is so incredibly helpful for cultivating the right mindset for growing in this field. Thank you for making this!

hello AJ thank you for sharing this knowledge, I am from India and right now working as a graphic designer want to switch to UX design,
I am looking some good certified course in UX design, but i didn’t found any good course in India, Please tell me any online course or any suggestion how could i learn that.:(

I just started PTing and this was very helpful! It echoed my thoughts. Thank you

I’m a senior graphic designer but a mid-weight UX designer who is working in a senior UX designer role on large scale website redesign and design system projects for a large company that has no UX processes and no design culture. What would be your advice on the best way to influence the design culture and implement solid UX processes so we are doing things the best way? PS: I’m super keen to do the Design Sprint Masterclass ASAP! Thanks for your content.

Im actually trying to get into a junior position (ux designer or 3d artist yes i have good knowledge in both areas:) ) and im totally struggling with these job ads where they are looking for… hmm in german there is a word for it “eierlegende wollmilchsau”. basically a person who is 23 years old has a master degree, knows every software and has 5 years work experience:D. good to know that im not alone with it and your words really motivates me to keep going. thank you very much:)

I really love you guys, I learn and laugh at the same time ��. Also, big kudos to your video editor, I’m digging the relaxed/silly vibe of your videos. ��

Saludos desde México!

I am transitioning from being a janitor to being a UX/UI designer. Right now, I am just trying to get a more in-depth perspective on what my responsibilities are in the field and getting my feet wet in the programs that AJ&Smart has mentioned in their videos. I finished signing up for Sketch, Figma, Webflow, and learning HTML5, CSS3, Javascript. Thank you AJ&Smart for providing these videos and getting me inspired by working in design IT field.

I worked on creating websites on my own for over ten years. Trying to learn it on my own and support a family was difficult for me, but I didn’t stop because I wanted to do that full time one day. Understanding my limitations and working two jobs I realized the only way I was going to create a portfolio was to put more on my plate. The best structured way to do it was go to school. Knowing my self if I put that on me I know I would push really hard to complete my classes. Going from Web Design and Development course to now Graphic Design Degree. I learned so much about me. What I can do and what I can not.
The only way I learn is by asking questions and making mistakes. With all that said I know I have a lot to learn, but I always have this thought in my head that really bothers me and I do not know why and I feel like I am just starting my career at almost 40 years old. I get age doesn’t mean to much. By going to school and I learned a lot about myself it took me on the path to UX/UI Design. I realized everyday I learned something that helps me get closer to my goal to be a UX/UI Designer. I was thinking my portfolio is holding me back because I am in the process on putting on online, but after listening to your video which was great! thank you! I think maybe because of my age and how long I been working on websites maybe I am looking for a job that has to much of a bigger role for me at the start of my career. Should I be putting Junior UX/UI Designer on my Resume? Does that help who ever is looking to automatically think..ok he still needs to learn some stuff? I can ask questions all day,so sorry for the long comments. Thanks again.

What’s your advice for older employees trying to get into UI and UX design? It seems like there are no older workers in your company. And what I mean by “older” I mean over the age of 55.

Are you ever coming to America to host one of these seminars or class or what ever you want to call them here?

(HEADS UP THIS IS A PARAGRAPH) hey guys im starting a marketing and design agency and we are learning from chris do (the futur), ran segall (Flux) and you guys. while we are juniors regarding design we’ve taken the time to learn strategy,discovery,team management,handling the client,dealing with objections,basically everything we conclude a senior designer would know. As the team leader ive been educating myself nonstop for the past year and a half. we’re going to use everything we’ve learned and make an attempt to scale faster from the get go. the key thing i see in juniors is the lack of knowledge regarding sales,marketing,solving the client issue, basically the bigger picture. If you understand that early on and properly educate yourself, I believe you can skip ahead.the issue lies in your amount of experience.hire people smarter than you that do have work to show, fill out your profile with practice projects, have confidence and focus on problem solving. in some cases just having the confidence leads to them never questioning your ability upfront.As long as you get results i dont see a huge difference other than pay and experience. get your first few clients and use their results in your portfolio. the other thing is juniors usually look for the job where seniors have people coming to them. having a good funnel could give a younger designer an advantage. lots of thought on this.we plan on going from US dollars)$3k to 5k to 10k to 30k+

Hey! I literally love your videos, I just started an internship in UX and UI and I am really struggling with making my designs look more appealing. What advice can you share for someone looking to improve their ui skills?�� Also what resources would you suggest to keep up with the latest design trends? Thank you so much!

I’ve grown up as a dancer and a runner in cross country. I’ve always done sports and been active. After not doing any of that for more then a year I became pretty unhappy. I’ve also always been passionate about healthy eating too and helping others feel good about themselves. So now I’m going to major in dance in college and until school starts back up again I’m enrolled into a 3 month fitness + nutrition + wellness + business certification program with FitChicks. While training for dance in school I want to teach and personal train at a gym. I’m so excited to get started:)

Man, i;m a junior at life haha. Thanks for this video very informative!

I’m not even sure what level I’m on at this point. In my last role my boss told me I was more mid-level and she regularly worked with me on things that would move me to a senior level. Today, I’m not sure what I am to be honest, I’ve been interviewing for 6+ months with so many companies that I don’t even want to go back and count, with ZERO luck. So I’m not sure if I should move on or what, I was really enjoying Product Design, but no one has hire me. 3+ years of experience and not a thing ��‍♂️.

Very real �� thanks for being an awesome person Rob! Keep grinding my man.

Thank you for sharing your opinion on this video.
It’s helpful for my career: )
I also sharing this video to my friend.

How do I break into UX without any experience. Does anyone advise paying for an online course?

I’m a UX/UI Designer. Something around Middle level i think. Its hard to evaluate myself properly. Right at this moment i’m looking for a new job because i’m feeling bored at my current company and also it’s mess in terms of development processes. I’m the only designer here and i really need another designer mind around. And i want to try to focus more on UX part with research, user interviews and all this complex but interesting stuff.
But i have quite doubts. Maybe i really need to refresh my working surroundings and change the company, find some product with other designers in it. Or i should pull myself together and try to fix this situation start researching and trying new things, even if i don’t know how to do it properly without leaving.
I know i’m not alone at this))

Hey guys! �� I am Max Zin from Montreal ����(google me to know more, low key bragging here ��) Product Designer UX/UI����‍�� and have only 4️⃣ years in a design career. LOOOOVE WHAT YOU GUYS DOO!!! �� So much awesome stuff and PRODUCT BREAKFAST CLUB PODCAST is amazing as well!

��️ Need advise, please -> READ MORE

�� I am the only guy in the Product Management Department who does design! �� Dev team was in charge of design so far ����
So you can imagine that I am on pretty much everything starting from IA (information architecture), low to high fidelity wireframes and through to “faking” functional prototype to test with existing users to gather feedback, improve and push to Dev team.

�� Do you guys have any suggestions/resources on how to prioritize when jumping in on a software/web app project?
��Also, I have a tendency to drift away and focus more on the UI in the beginning stages of the project. HOW DO I GET AWAY FROM THAT!? ��
@aj&smart Maybe Q&A Video together for Junior UX/UI designers out there based on my situation? Thank you guys for reading this far!

How to get from junior UX researcher to senior UX researcher?

I told the personal trainer that his jobs a joke over him talking about me to his customer due to him being jealous.

Bodybuilding is a solid cardio vascular workout? No wonder you stopped PTing. You had no idea what you were doing.

That last comment really resonated with me: “I have struggles working on the details, so I would never be a good UI designer. Could you maybe elaborate on how you discovered that about yourself and how you dealt with that situation?

No birds were harmed during the recording of this video…. mmm, really nigga?

HEY MAN LOVE YOUR CHANNEL AND YOUR ADVICE THANKS SO MUCH IM GOING TO SCHOOL TO BECOME PERSONAL TRAINING SO YA THANKS BRO….��������

Agree with the different of responsibility, and Junior designer sometimes struggles to see the big picture of the project. Great Video. Kudos!

Whatever goal, or dreams you made for yourself, I know you’ve accomplished them like holy f*ck you own yourself I’m looking up to that as I start my own personal fitness journey

rob as a myprotein ambassador, what is the difference between impact whey and the whey? please explain! thanks

We should line up your online clients/subs to my clients. Then you’ll see why only the greats have coaches.

Your videos are always so educational and informative! I could watch/listen to you all day ��

Like always, you guys are the best. Very rare to have an informative video with humorous editing. Was this a live stream?

You lost me at “I gave my client too much information” and ‘that they would know as much as you and there wont be any construction’. Sir, the point of humanity and life is to gain knowledge and share it with others. And if you feel as if your client “knows more than you” then that should be a drive to become even more knowledgeable in said topic. I think you just don’t like to grind bro. Share your knowledge. Personal trainers are always going to be on demand.
