The vast majority of personal trainers are simply not qualified to train their clients. They lack any real depth of health and fitness knowledge and their personal experience with health and fitness is superficial at best. Merely being familiar with the subject of fitness and exercise equipment does not make one an expert. Furthermore, a confident personal trainer does not necessarily make a competent personal trainer or a good instructor.
Most personal trainers can hardly call themselves educated, experienced, positive role models and that's exactly what you want when hiring one. The personal training industry is virtually swimming in certifications; whereas some certifying programs demand a broad-based understanding of human anatomy and physiology, others require much less from their participants, usually just a few of their dollars and a few moments of their time.
There's no standardized testing within the industry, applicants often can get away with taking either a weekend course or even just an online exam before calling themselves personal trainers and many will frequently even skip this rudimentary step before doing so.
