    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 hardly call 6'2" and 205 morbidly obese or 4 chins whatever you said. You could see massive changes in 8-12 weeks. Best luck,

    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...

    Since it is a minor, you could say "I and other clients have used creatine with success, but it is up to your parents and you to decide." You can make a comment on a supplement, but I would not give...

    Very hard to say from the limited info given, but if we assume the Lordosis, then I would say work on rolling and stretching the hip flexors.

    Well, at 23 I would hardly believe you are burned out. Also, are you single? I find being married makes it very tough to stay motivated, but when single it was much easier! If you are married, GET...

    If you are a novice, I would recommend a routine that is 3 days a week to start with. Full body routine or alternate upper and lower days. Much more likely to adhere to program, as opposed to 5-6...

    I would say trainers who have their clients stand on a BOSU ball and do 2.5lb dumbbell curls!

    Also, about the Front Squat, I have to disagree. I think they are a great movement, and if cross...

    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.

    I would say cash or gift card $50-100 is very nice. As a male trainer, getting something more personal from female client can send mixed signals, especially if they are attractive.
