Default Re: Hire personal trainer?

From what I've observed personal trainers have several major problems:

1. They eschew major movements and heavy weights (presumably their certification authorities tell them it is dangerous).

2. They focus too directly on core and stability (giving the impression of building a six pack).

3. Focus on "pump." (This is perhaps related to #1 as well as what they think will impress their clients).

Even assuming those problems, whatever gets someone to the gym, motivation-wise, as well as leaving the planning to someone else are good things.
