Never think you know it all.... or even enough.... the learning never stops.
I usually read 1 to 2 books a week.... and I'm not talking small fitness books either. I try to watch 3-4 or more DVD's per month (some of these are 3-4 DVD sets) and I try to attend most of the seminars and conferences around the country.
I've been doing this for 20 years and the learning never stops. I think that is one of the biggest mistakes some trainers make - they do a few certification and think the know enough.
Another mistake is getting caught up in the one method - CHEK or Poliquin, Crossfit, Functional Training, HIT, etc.... they all may have some merit but never should be exclusive.

you make it kind of scary to want to become one geesh!
really, you could just have someone jumprope a lot and if all they did was sit on the couch before, your motivation is worth a lot
but yea for me to appeal to all customers, i will need a lot more, but 1 or 2 books a week? you prob know most of the material, and it just brushes up on everything
usually we can figure out what the person likes to do right? and combine that with exercises for what they want, idk, it just seems easier than ur makin me scared it might be lol... like.. planning out someones workout, probably takes 10 minutes right?
