there are a lot of trainers that are pretty bad.. some are just plain idiots.. mind you it doesnt take a genius to get a certification.. especially with canfit pro and ACE.. secondly, some trainers just endup not giving a shit about it anymore.. i admit, there are days where i don't feel like giving a shit and i don't feel like scrutinizing every aspect of my clients' form.
i was at at the bcrpa's fitness convention early this month, and i was surprised at the lack of higher level education during the lectures... and the stupidass questions that were being asked by so called fitness professions.. yes i realize that not everyone has a degree in kinesiology and everyone starts SOMEwhere.. but holy cow.. i would not want to be any of these trainers "First" clients..
Fitness world has extremes... they have either super lazy ass looking trainers, or the ones that are soooo self absorbed they check themselves out more than they check on their clients' form. i love it when the trainers make their clients do the exact workout they would do..
lastly, some of the best trainers i know arent super fit... not every skinny kid wants to get super buff.. you would be surprised at the percentage of my clients (overweight or skinny) who just want to increase tone and feel better/improve general conditioning. usually thekids that wanna get meathead big, dont go to trainers and read musclemag and think that they can transform their body to look like roided guidos overnight.. of course there are exceptions, but since we are all generalizing here ...
