Genetics Pt 3 The Trainer you Choose

The last thing i'm going to talk about is how genetics can play a role on the personal trainer you choose. Far too often we look at a person and based our choice on how a person looks or what gender they are rather then what they have accomplished. If a guy is huge we assume he must know everything about exercise and far to often girls don't get respect as trainers regardless of how they look from guys and girls alike.

How a person looks is probably the one of the least important credentials one should look at when shopping for a personal trainer. As my early post showed you some people are blessed with amazing genetics. Bigman would look like the guy that would fit the stereotype of an amazing looking personal trainer. However the knowledge isn't there so you would have been fooled. Secondly some people that lift weights to get big do illegal substances (Steroids and Human Growth Hormones) you can't tell who uses them and who doesn't. This isn't to say that people that do choose to use illegal substances don't have the knowledge but it's also not to say that how they look means they do either. Lastly females just because they can't get huge doesn't mean they don't have knowledge. Genetically females can't get big if they tried without the assistance steroids. They simply do not produce enough testosterone like men for them to grow in that way. So ladies don't be scared of weights you won't get big you'll only look more toned which guys find hot.

If those are the genetic do not's of picking a personal trainer what are the genetics do's for picking a personal trainer? There are a few things. Second most important thing when it comes to picking a trainer would be if they have transformed themselves in a big way from what they used to look like. You can pretty much guarantee they understand health fairly well and are not only a preacher but a follower of a healthy lifestyle.
Saving the best for last. The utterly most important vital thing when picking a personal trainer would be if they have dramatically transformed clients. Not only does this show they understand themselves well but they know how to change things up per client. Everybody is slightly different and everybody has different goals. A photo that is not a set up (I'll explain in a moment) before and after picture of a former client tells a thousand words.

When I say not set up I mean it's not set in ideal lighting of a client with there shirt off. A typical out of shape person would be rather reluctant to pose in a bikini for the before picture. A picture that is just of a client out with friends before the transformation and after the transformation would be ideal. If the picture isn't set up neatly it is pretty safe to say that it wasn't doctored with Photoshop.

Some examples before closing this post

An example of a legit photo that isn't set up

Here is an example of a set up fake photo


Lastly the perfect example of a trainer everybody knows but doesn't look the part. Bob Harper of the biggest loser just looks like your average skinny guy but has gotten the result people want.
