Yup, certifications plus experience plus personality rocks! :-) A certified personal trainer should be able to design a safe and effective programme so his/her client can adhere to it. It is not about the best/whacko/vigorous training program, but it is about whether how effective an exerciser can stick to it yet getting results without any injuries, death or harm! A professional certified PT will also act on highest ethics. Among a few ethics, I can provide you a few which are, that they never recommend supplements, never provide detailed nutritional plan and never diagnose any medical issues. They are just exercise experts and NOT rehab person. That is the scope of practice of a personal trainer. Hard to find a professional certified personal trainer? Yes, you are right, there are probably less than 100 of them in Malaysia who have international NCCA-accredited fitness certifications. Can't blame the problem though as we are new in the industry, and I believe the clubs are trying to make little changes to increase the standard of personal training in Malaysia. :-) Regards, Jerrican from FIT Malaysia Hi,

Certifications can be done in time but passion for helping others change their lives through fitness is another thing.

You can't judge by their looks most of the time, however, it is true that a certified personal trainer should look fit enough to be one. I have a PT friend who looks like a potato, really, a potato. But that didn't change the fact that he knew more about health, fitness, bodybuilding and supplements than I do. The best than you can do is to make friends with the members, exchange informations about workouts, supplements, body limitations on workouts and make studies of how your body works best. A PT can only guide you if you're lacking of details and knowledge about Bodybuilding & Fitness, but only you who can build the confidence in you. Well for my case, I always looked at myself in the mirror and be proud that I'd improved as I've done something, rather than those out there who are not. Keep it up and be your best... :) Referring to Sylvester’s post, I would like to add something here.

I enjoy your information very much. I just got certified a month ago and currently working hard to keep up with my education in personal training and getting more experience. I totally agree with what you said in your entry about choosing the right personal trainer. Not only have you helped many people who are looking for educators in fitness, but you have also reminded me to stick to my responsibilities as a certified trainer. I have a blog on fitness as well. If you have a change, please visit my site and give me some feedback. I look forward to reading your entries everyday and exchange personal feedback to each other. Have a great one, my friend!
