You are describing what is wrong with the industry, not what people don't understand.

The fact that folks have medical problems, sedentary, etc. determines to a large a degree what trainers do with healthy people due to various trainer certification programs.

This is taking the wrong lesson and misapplying it, as those in poor health, sedentary, etc., are precisely the audience to learn the bio-mechanically correct way to lift something off the ground, stand-up/sit down, pull on something, push on something, push it or pull it from over their heads.

You misunderstood what my point was. The ultimate goal is to make these sedentary clients lead more functional lifestyles. The point i was trying to get across is that deadlifts, benchpress and squats are not the correct exercises to put a beginner on which 90% of personal training clients are. It takes a while to get beginners aclimated to a training program before you even think about moving them to a squat rack.
