"Counting reps" during a session is a sort of "odometer" of the exercise/session to me.
Let me tell you something...I know the "cool" thing to say is that trainers shouldn't have to count reps, but the pace and repetitions of an exercise need attention. I think the ones that don't count actually are more apt to "space out". Even strength coaches count aloud. It is a "ticker" of sorts during exercise execution.
It is the "rep counters" that are not "in-tuned" in the session or "distanced" that belong behind the counter at Blockbuster.
