Haha, Diane! I'm sure we've all had that experience with a "trainer" at a gym. :))
One of my buddies manages a popular local running store. He looks like a college freshman, but has years of experience behind him and I rely heavily upon his skills in fitting me for new running shoes every few months. I so appreciate walking into a facility where I feel confident that the people who work there know what they're doing.
I once went to an athletic shoe store and asked if they had anyone who knew how to fit running shoes. The kid (emphasis on "kid") remarked, "it's not rocket science." To which I replied, "You're not a marathoner, are you?" The girl standing next to him, who also worked at the store, asked what a marathon is. I was clearly in the wrong store, LOL!
What do you like about your gym? How often do you go (or try to)? What are your main fitness goals?
