I would love to hear from the women (trainers or not) about what male trainers do wrong with female clients. I feel like my program design is off some and I would really like to dial it in.

Most of my clients come to me to lose weight and "get in shape". I typically start with a jm as warmup or a light bodyweight circuit of some kind. I then do a strength training portion and then a higher paced circuit or cardio routine. I finish with a cool down of some kinds usually stretching with bands.

Any resources (blogs, books, sites, etc.) on helping my female clients would be really appreciated. Thanks.
I work out at home because 1) I live in the boonies where there aren't any optioins, and 2) I don't play well with others. But... I've had a couple of trainers in the past. They were rather like Allerious. I got nowhere (duh) and quit the trainer ASAP. If I were to hire a trainer again, #1 priority would be for him/her to TEACH me about what's going on, in depth, not just order me around. Then what everyone else said.
