If You Hired A Personal Trainer, Would You Want Them To Be In Shape?

I work at 24 hour fitness and I consider myself to be in good shape. The thing that I noticed at my gym is that some of the trainers are not in good shape AT ALL. I mean I am not kidding when I say one of them is literally 40 pounds overweight.
I mean I’m sure some of them did their studies and know their stuff but wouldn’t you want your trainer to be in good shape, especially if you are flushing $600 for training sessions?

    Hum, yeahh!
    i mean, at the gym, they are supposed to be like role models. i would not want some personal tariner that is not fit because they are supposed to motivate you. A personal trainer who is all overweight and fat, would just make me think that he does not care about his job and i would not follow his/her advice. Iwould just not trust him/her

    LMAO… yeah, I’d want my trainer to be in AMAZING shape… because, you’re paying a good $600-$700 for the service, and they’re supposed to be the image of what you can achieve if you pay for the service and follow the program. Pretty sure I don’t want to pay a 50-lb overweight woman to train me. Because, heck, if she’s that lazy, why should I give her MY money to work ME out? o.O

    If I were to look at my trainer and he was some big buff guy that got results doing what he was doing and he’s teaching me what he did to get those muscles, I would definatly get more motivated.
    If it were some fat guy, I wouldn’t trust him.
    I’d ask for another trainer.

    yes…to me, if a personal trainer doesn’t have the time or motivation to practice what they are teaching others to do…then i wouldn’t wanna waste my money on them.

    YEAH! They wouldn’t motivate me if they were overweight, because that’s what I DON’T want to be.
