[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make sure your trainer actually has a degree in Kinesiology.  Not just a pocketful of "certificates"  that you can earn in a weekend. [/quote]

Totally agree with this. Look for a degree in exercise science or kinesiology. Very good understanding of anatomy is critical to be a good trainer and most PTs who only have their three month certificate can barely tell their knee from their a**. I had a good experience with TFN training in McLean but they might be too far from you. In [b]DC avoid Ultimate Performance[/b]. [/quote]

Why? [/quote]

Because that are expensive and their trainers are not qualified. Their dramatic transformations seem to be achieved by taking an average person and putting them on a crash diet with a bunch of bro style advice sprinkled in. They have great equipment though and I wish I could train there without having to use their trainers. [/quote]

I agree. Ultimate Performance hires uncertified personal trainers and promotes them as the “worlds leading trainers”. This is wrong and borderline unethical.

Notice how their website doesn’t give the names of their trainers? Thats because they don’t want you googling them only to find out that they don’t have any real credentials. They also only take home about 10% of what they charge. No good trainer will work for that [/quote]
