Anyone these days can become a personal trainer by going online and paying a fee for a test.

If you think they won`t pass you,and won`t mind losing the $400.00 test fee if you fail,you are sadly mistaken.

Right place right time. They get a lazy actor. Make them do stupid moves but since they're moving they burn calories and lose work weight and claim the trainer was a genius. The word spreads and other actors hire them. A great trainer in Cleveland won't run into celebrities but a shitty trainer in west Hollywood will. Right place buddy. Right place.

"Stew". hahahaha Oh brother, I don't know about weightlifting advice, but I sure would seek him out to help with choosing the right fabric for curtains.

PEDs are no longer a secret and yet some pretend otherwise.

Gunnar Peterson..

Early life and education[edit]
As a child in Houston, Texas, Peterson struggled with his weight. At age 10, his mother enrolled him in Weight Watchers and began driving him to weekly meetings.[4] As he tells People Magazine, "At one meeting they announced I'd lost 5lbs., I celebrated by buying two ice-cream sandwiches." By college, Gunnar had gotten serious about fitness and started his career; People notes the extra weight is "now but a memory on his 9.5 percent body fat frame." [4][5][6]

He is a graduate of Duke University (class of 1985) in Durham, North Carolina with degrees in Physical Fitness, Psychology and Nutrition.[2][6] He is also a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), a National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) Certified Personal Trainer (CPT), and is certified by the American Council on Exercise.[2][6]

Because their clients don't want to look like Bodybuilders.

for many of their clients it's about looking good for the role or working out just enough to not get fat.

Back in the day. D-Mass was the "trainer of the stars", how times have changed!

That dude right there has a better physique than anyone on the Olympia stage today.

I have to ask though, why the hell would anyone bother hiring a personal trainer anyway? All the information any noob would ever need to succeed at their fitness goals is right here on the internet. Just read and go do it. The end.

"People Magazine"?! He's lost all credibility. I respect you far more than him because in Hollywood it's far more common for someone to forget where they came from and care only about who they came on (or in).

Since when can you tell naturals lift in clothes? I would have to see a full body shot to tell if these guys are in respectable shape or not. They are all very lean and that is all some celebrities want.

I have seen gifs of Kai Greene getting blown by a group of men here; I have seen Tbombz selfie with his ass showing; I've seen the Weider principles posted.

This is the gayest thing by far I have ever seen here.

Billy Blanks had a great physique.

Have to agree with posts on here. I look like shit at this point, but my physique is now due to injuries requiring surgery, and I wouldn't advertise myself as a Hollywood trainer or pay someone that looks like Vince, but that's just my opinion.

Dave also trained Jane Fonda before her fitness books and tapes,Leonard Nimoy and many other stars in their day.

Dave was 5'5" or 5'6" can`t quite remember ....when he bilked up he was immense at that height.

Great guy,and top notch build who got robbed quite often in his shows,though he made his mark.

I don't think you can draw the conclusion they can't "do" from looking at pics. These guys aren't bodybuliders. Stew Smith is probably the number one go to guy in military fitness, and this is what he looks like:

Good thing you're not in the military and don't need to train like him.
