I called it "dribble" because you made a blanket statement and that's just not so. There are PLENTY of good trainers without degrees. Its great to have degree but it doesn't mean shit unless you know how to apply it. The problem is that VERY FEW know how to put an effective program together.

How likely is it for a beginner to find a really good trainer when first starting out? It's almost impossible for a beginner to know where to look for one. So many trainers and so few who really know their shit. Only by pure luck can he find a really good one when he really needs it - in the very beginning.

Again, he made sound like a blanket statement.

This. I look at it not as people paying me to count reps, or be their 'friend" but for the programming. I have knowledge and skills that they dont, same as a mechanic, doctor, etc.

Why have a personal trainer when everything you need , all the info is free on the internet...

The irony is most of those who pay for Personal trainers are the ones who quit the most when the self-taughts are the most consistent and fast to understand the basics and make progresses..

Like you need a pt to teach you how to curl, sit on a machine or even do bench press. Like you cant use the gym's equipment cause you need someone to teach you how to use it ... ::) Oh yeah, "reps" and "sets" are very complex concepts to assimilate too....

If you cant get yourself to lift weights or lose weights doing some cardio you re never ever going to achieve anything.

Godamn motherfuckings morons.


Pts dont even pretend they care about the customers either, i saw this young #### with no muscle at all laugh frantically with despise at his "customer" while hurling a big ball in his face while he was doing some push up on the floor.. It's like the pts do everything to make their "customers"  look stupid in front of the others gym members.

poor newbies , they put trust in these trainers with shit "certifications" that mean nothing ... who laugh at them hanging and joking with the gymrats instead of at leat trying to do their "job" correctly. In fact i sometimes wonder if they dont create the most stupid and shameful "programs" and "exercises" to torture their "customers".


Way true, I mean they can waste their money if they want, but they would be better off reading for about 30 mins on the net about nutrition and watching a couple of youtubes about form with certain excercises, and in that time developing some sense of autonomy over themselves so that they don;t feel they have to rely on some out of shape guy with a certificate. The goddamn motherfucking morons bit was funny as Hel haha!

I didn't say there weren't good trainers without degrees. But, without one, in certain places (i.e. Bally) you are indeed a maid/janitor in a weight room. I knew more about training and nutrition than most of the guys there. But, I ended up cleaning the weight room.

Yeah right, like it was Goodall. We should all know by now that Al Sharpton is the new commissioner of the NFL. He obviosly has that right since 70% of the players are black. Who's the racist now? Sure as hell isn't Rush!
