advice before I meet with a personal trainer

Perhaps I should have looked into the possibility of a trainer not associated with the club directly.

there are programs trainers go through which allows them to put impressive looking initials after their name. i dont have the foggiest idea what the different programs are and what means they might have had longer than 1 week worth of training but perhaps someone might be able to shed some light on it or direct where to look.

you mention looking elsewhere, craigslist always has posts from trainers. perhaps you could shop around on that in your area and be able to interview the trainers a bit more before you decide on whom to use..
