My daughter had actually done a little homework before we met with the head of the PTs. He, in himself, has amazing credentials. Anyway, my daughter had contacted him, stated her goals, and he recommended we meet with Rosemary, based on her background. Then, Rosemary and I talked over the phone to discuss my experience and goals and see if she would be a good fit.
All the PTs at our fitness center are certified, their photos and credentials clearly displayed on the wall in the Trainer's center (everyone has to walk through this open, lobby-like area to get to the exercise machines). They're all veteran athletes from varying sports, and "mature" enough to not make you feel as though you're dealing with some college freshman who just learned how to spell "elliptical." Rosemary is probably in her mid-to-late 30's, judging by the ages of her children.
I think that you've hit on an important point that this is all very much a personal relationship and working with a PT may not be for everyone. Not everyone may need a PT, but I sure do - to "kick my butt," LOL!
