Sandra, I'm not an expert like Bill, Jean Paul, and some others, but--if you say you're not 100% impressed with your trainer, that means you're not impressed. You've got to have almost total trust in a trainer, but the trainer has got to earn it. (Husbands are different; less than 100% is par, but then we're around all the time and we're unpaid)
Some trainers are like landscapers. In NJ, all you have to do to be a landscaper is have a truck, some lawnmowing machines, and some teenage drop outs in the summer. Some are good, but some aren't.
The best nutritional advice concerns what we eat, not what pills we take And for advice on what pills to take, if any, it's better to go to a certified nutritionist or a savvy doctor, not a gym guy.
And if you have diebetic tendencies, it's especially needful that you get expert advice about supplements.
I am 100% impressed with my trainer. If Jean Paul were to say he'd train me, I'd probably say I am content where I am. But not once in over a year has my trainer offered to sell me anything or suggested supplements.
In fact, it's the other way round. I've been on him lately. He's 44. It's about time he started taking baby aspirin daily, especially since his dad died of a heart atttack at 49.
