I jumped in a little late on this thread and I only quickly browsed what everyone else said so I apologize if I am reiterating someone else’s thoughts. I feel a great trainer is someone who truly cares for their clients like an extended member of their family. A great trainer helps their client find their own path to success instead of trying to squeeze them into a mold that worked for another person. Someone who inspires others without blowing their own horn. Someone who leads without judgment or condescension. Someone who gives advice when necessary, but also knows when to just listen and help a client brainstorm their own solutions to obstacles. Someone who can help clients see their own potential and realize it. A great trainer is someone who is always trying to be a better trainer because, as I think someone else pointed out, being a great trainer is not a destination it's an ongoing process.
