I understand where he is coming from, so many people these days have such a sense of entitlement that they think they dont have to work hard to get what they want.
On the other side, i dont think its smart or safe to send a kid into a basement and tell him figure it out on your own. Thats setting the kid up to fail, or worse injure themselves.
If it was my kid, I would drag them to the gym with me to see what real dedication and intensity was all about. And if they weren't interested, then they wouldnt be joining me again. I know this is a different situation for him because he is a trainer, and you can only do so much to motivate other people's kids, and it gets frustrating. but you really cant want more for people then they want for themselves ... it just leaves you exhausted.
