Personal trainers suck!

I am sorry, but every personal trainer I see is wasting their client's time and money. The majority of these clients need to do one thing and one thing only. Get on a treadmill or eliptical and start huffing and puffing away for a few months to get in basic shape! (and maybe do like four basic compound lifts for total body strength i.e bench, squats, bent over row, situps)
I see personal trainers teaching overweight out of shape people all these new-fangled swiss ball upside down cruchedy moves that are fine for somebody who is in great shape, but beyond a waste for these people who go on to think that this is really cutting edge way to do all their workouts. What a disservice! These people are still in bad shape 6 months later b/c they are doing some low level goofy strengh training thing and getting the wrong advice.
I used to coach gymnastics so I know it is challenging to work with unmotivated people which is the majority of personal trainer clients (no offense, I know that is a lot of people on PT and that is why you want a personal trainer) so I sympathize but hey change your approach to the basics - I think personal trainers want to seem like they are on the cutting edge so they give advice that is for Terrell Owens!
People who need fitness help in the gym should get a workout parter instead!
