I'm not a trainer, (love to be someday) but for now I am the client!

IMO in order to be a good trainer you really have to be good at reading people. A bit of a psyche background may help also. Being able to note what their mental needs are as well as physical will go a long way. Being able to figure them out quickly and re-adjust is a huge plus.

I'd also have to agree with a lot said here thus far...especially the parts about being passionate about what you do and about always learning. A good trainer should be a good student as well!!

And lets face it...if you don't wanna be there...we can tell!
