Romano Talks About the Evolution of the Personal Trainer!

[John Romano]

interesting take by romano on 'bodybuilders' being humble enough to hire a personal trainer.

i assume many would more likely hire a nutritionist or dietician before a personal trainer.

A lot of them hire Charles Glass.... Stan Efferding is being trained by Flex Wheeler, Chris Cormier is being trained by Dorian Yates... It happens.

I don't necessarily always think it's an issue of bodybuilders being humble enough to hire a personal trainer. Instead, they may be more apt to do the research and trial/error themselves to come up with innovative training programs. Also, with all the bodybuilding forums out there, there's the opportunity to trade training ideas among one another rather than hire a personal trainer.

the same goes for hiring or not hiring someone diet and nutrition.

Good article John. Have any of you heard a rumor that in California(im not sure of any other states) that personal trainers will soon be required to hold a Bachelors degree in and exercise/nutrition field in addition to his/her certification? A buddy of mine told me this, and it is exciting because that means more $$ and more clients for those of us who fit these qualifications.
