I went the first year I got my CSCS, was good for the CEU's I need for recertification. The one I went to was in Orlando, which was close, so was worth it. I don't think it would be worth flying to...
While I think looks and physique can help. Some of the most successful trainers I have seen in gyms were those with average bodies. I have seen many what I would consider "one step ahead of their...
I would refer that one to a female trainer, even if she went against husband's wishes and worked with you, who is to say he may not lose it and shoot you. Jealous before you even start, would get...
In the 21st century GIMMICKS rule the day! That is why Jilian Michaels is the #1 recognized trainer and Bob Greene (Oprah's trainer) was a total failure with her and has made millions.
If their diet sucks, then it is simple = DIET. If diet is relatively good, then you should recommend blood work from their MD (thryoid, etc). I would say that 99% of clients diet could be better if...

Nora, from what you describe and the stats I can see. I would say you could compete as a "Bikini" competitor in that time frame. I don't know if they have that division in Canada league or not, but...
I understand the value of education, but there are many great and successful trainers that do not have a degree. If you want to become a strength coach, then I think the degree would be helpful.
