There is no regulation or licensing in the fitness industry. Thank Christ. The last thing the Fitness industry and the consumer need is to have the industry fucked up by government regulation and licensing. Keep it free and allow the consumer to vote with his time and money.

It does not help that people assume that just because their trainer looks good, does not mean that or he or she knows what they are talking about....

I actually had to go to school for personal training at American academy of personal training, I was taught fundamentals of kinseology, anatomy, programming, and periodization etc, and how to operate on the gym floor. Alot if these trainers who get their certs online don't even know how to spot a bench press for their clients.

I wish there was a Starting Strength facility in Vallejo and American Canyon in California.

Commercial gyms are freaking stupid and an absolute hassle.

I know a few people who came out of the army like I did and became personal trainers because they hated personal trainers... Big box gyms are this weird catch 22 of "we don't actually want you to workout here" but the personal trainer's specific job is to get people into the gym...

Does this apply to UK aswell? In pretty sure level 3 personal training have to coach a few people. It's definitely not as thorough as SS at all

If you are smart enough to make the money to pay for a personal trainer you are smart enough to learn how to train yourself. It's not rocket science.
