What is reasonable to expect from a personal trainer?

Spitfire asked:


I was supposed to get at least 10 sessions from the club’s personal trainer as part of the membership that I paid for. I’ve quit scheduling with him after about 4 sessions. Great person but I am not so sure he is right for me to train with. Is it normal for a club to double you up with the trainer and another client at the same time? Or to be so sore afterwards that you actually can’t return for a week at least, due to the level of actual pain that you felt? I’m just looking for what I might have done or what was realistic to expect.

A friend of mine was curious how much schooling is needed to be a personal trainer? I heard 2 year diploma programs from some people, but not quite sure. This is in Canada by the way.

I am about to graduate with an Exercise Science Ba and probbaly planning to go on and get a masters probably in the exercise field. I was planning to probably personal train for a year though. I have had a few joint issues, and may have to have another shoulder surgery so I havent been able to lift in years. Would you think less of a personal trainer if they were not in fantastic condition?
