I had this discussion with a neighbor last night. He felt that your personal trainer should be a subject matter expert in health and fitness, so why wouldn't your trainer have at least a bachelor's degree in kinesiology/exercise physiology/etc? He argued that you wouldn't hire an engineer without a degree in engineering, an accountant without a degree in accounting, a doctor without a degree in medicine, etc. so why hire a personal trainer with a degree in English? He said that you'd expect them to have an underlying understanding of how all the diet, exercise, cardio work together to achieve your goals if they are going to be prescribing it.
