I hear what you are saying. "Counting reps" should defintely not be something that makes or breaks your enjoyment in the profession. It reaelly is a question of exercise programming that requires you to count long, boring reps. If you pair up circuits or tri-sets, the need for "counting reps" can be modified to use RPE, timed sets, or simply have the client do the counting while you are paying attention to the form.
