This isn't a great analogy. Your financial planner will perform better based on what she has to work with. Same with hair stylist. Same with personal trainer. If my personal trainer wasn't fit, I wouldn't go.


Are you saying the the financial planner can only get good returns if they have billionaire clients? And hair stylist can’t do a good job unless their client is a model or actor?


I think she's saying she wouldn't trust a broke financial planner.

Eh, hair dressers in my experience do not always have great hair themselves.

Okay. However many trainers are previous athletes/dancers/competitors etc who got injured or no longer compete for whatever reason. So they aren't able to train like they used to. Doesn't mean they don't know what it takes to get fit.

And besides, "achieving a physique" is mostly all diet anyway and most personal trainers aren't certified nutritionists. They can't control how much you eat.


Nah, most trainers are people that don't need a full-time job to support their families or recent college grads that like working out and decided they might as well get paid if they are going to spend 4-6 hours at the gym anyway.

Half of the female trainers are SAHMs that took the job after their kid starting to going kindergarten and the other half are 22 year old recent grads


Where are you finding these "trainers" that are all SAHMs who do it for fun? Maybe you're looking in the wrong place to start with. A trainer with a good bio with photos of their former greatness would be acceptable, but a lot are just people really into fitness, are in shape, and are trying to make a living off of it.

“Most”? I’d love to know where you got this stat. Otherwise you’re just pulling stuff from your a$$.

I'd be fine with a trainer who didn't look super toned but was in good shape.

I would not see a nutritionist/registered dietician who had a higher body fat percentage than I do.
