Is it just me or is this embarrassing as shit?

NBD.

I'm sure they've seen it all.

No way dude. That is badass. Working out through the challenge. Way to go!

If you work out so hard you cry, I think it means you are either hardcore. Or crazy, one or the other. lol

Uh, yeah, that was my thought. 

[ginap]

If I were a trainer I would rather someone cry then throw up on my shoes. *shrug* I'm sure they have seen way way worse. Good for you!

[margarita]

NBD. I'm sure they've seen it all.

[demelza]

Zomg if you were feeling that much burn during the workout how bad are you going to feel when your sore the next day? I am scared for you!

[Wrath0fKuus]

...wow. The personal trainers I've had must be milquetoasts.

[eb777888]

Yeah, I guess everyone has their place to cry. Mine is at the doctor. I cry probably 50% of the time. I cried at the fucking eye doctor, ffs. I'm DEFINITELY not judging the crying at all, that's totally NBD, but WTF are you doing that's that hard??

[soozy87]

He was probably proud of himself.

[So_Fetch]

Of all the bodily fluids trainers can see - I'm thinking tears are the most preferred.

[hopecounts]

NBD.
As others have said I'm sure your trainer has seen worse.

I'm assuming she's not crying from pain but its become her place to let it all out which ends with her crying.

Okay, if nothing else, this should make you feel better about yourself, right?

[joenali]

I cried at the dentist the other day. Full on tears!!

[thebamker]

He went on to say that he loves when ppl cry bc he knows they are at their limit, and if they don't quit, even better.

But I don't know. It made me feel so fucking pathetic. We did arms on Monday and I couldn't even sleep bc they hurt so bad. He had me doing rounds of dips and push-ups (with one arm on a medicine ball) today and I just basically sobbed the whole time ... My arms are still shaking and it's been an hour. Unreal.

Haha
No, it was the pain. And the frustration that there was so much pain.

[eb777888]

Damn, well, it sounds like you're going to be in phenomenal shape! Holy shit.

Hmm, then I might wonder of he's pushing too hard too fast.
you should feel it but what you described above seems excessive, especially sinc e you're a new client and he doesn't know your body as well yet.

[karmasabiotch]

There is no shame in crying. Chin up Floyd. You rock for sticking with it.

[lime]

Another vote for NBD.

I'm new wrt one-on-one training, but he just got done training me in a group for 8 weeks.
He asked me what I wanted out of this and I said I wanted to gain weight, add muscle and become stronger. And hopefully burn the rest of this fatty layer off my abs.
Idk. I'm sure ill be happy and proud in he end, but I'm already dreading the fuck out of Friday PT. : (

BAWLING LIKE A FUCKING BABY! Like with sound and shit. Omg. I was so embarrassed I just wanted to die. 

At least it wasn't literally with sound AND shit ;-)

Sorry, bam.  Glad you got a good workout out of it.  But it's okay to take it easy if it's too much.  

[Deleted]

Yeah I definitely spent part of a training session with my head in a garbage can dry heaving Biggest Loser style once. Crying is better.

[orangello]

You are awesome for sticking with this. Make sure you take a picture of yourself now, and one after a few months of this. I bet you'll be shocked and amazed at the difference.

[itsme]

I puked a lot the first day of Crossfit. At the gym, at home...almost in my car. My husband came in to the bathroom and said something to like, "Man, they effed you up!". I'm not a crier so maybe throwing up was my reaction to pushing too hard. After the first week or so you will be busting out those workouts with much much less pain.

[rex]

I think this makes you a badass. You're working out so hard you're crying! No way I'd do that.

Plus, your trainer just thinks he's awesome now.

[Deleted]

I've gone to several workout classes that made me cry or nearly cry.

It's combo of pain, fatigue, and some sort of repressed emotion. Not a fan.

So anyway, I feel you.

At least you didn't puke. I think it's fine.

Ha. He did say he's had some pretty athletic men do the same workout and they ended up barfing. So maybe you're right.

[snickers]

Seriously you have nothing to be embarrassed of. They have seen it all. People cry, puke, fart, and do all kinds of things in front of them. It will get better, I promise. You've got this!
