My last personal trainer was a good one. She trained me every Wednesday at 9am at the Y until she 'left' me to start a workout group for new moms. While I miss her motivation (you can do 15 more reps at the higher weight) she did her job and I know what to do and how to do it without her. Now I have my weights and yoga ball at work and sneak in a couple sets here and there, especially when I have a project that I want to avoid. <em>Jean Christofferson's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/SwimCoachDirect/~3/302622492/assigning-value.html' rel="nofollow">Assigning Value</a></em> Thanks for the great post.

So...who wants advice from these people when they themselves have a difficult time staying healthy?

Charlotte, you rock, as always! Yes, it's good to keep in mind that most fitness pros don't always look the way they do in those photos or on their workout DVDs. That is usually the result of extreme diets and extra workouts done solely for the specific media. SO true, and so funny! Charlotte, you rock, as always!

Even being a trainer, I can spot the ones that are "just there to get paid" and the ones who truly want to help their clients. I feel sorry clients who aren't getting what they pay for...
