Most of the exercises they have me do are useless and seem to exist mainly to waste an hour. I really wanted to have a great trainer who could help me with my fitness goals, but quite frankly after about a year of searching, I've pretty much determined that I just have to do it on my own. So, the #1 piece of advice I'd give you to retain your clients is: know what you're doing and give your clients results. Anyone can count a set to 12.
