The sad truth is that in most cases, it takes little more than a high school diploma and to pass a "comprehensive fitness exam" to become qualified to take someone's fitness and TRUST into your hands.
The worldwide marketplace of fitness and personal training is flooded with "professionals" touting expertise in the field of exercise and performance with little in the way of formal education and training to back up this claim. The current market for personal training services can attract undesirable professional trainers.
