i agree in part. yes, a pt can inspire confidence in his/her clients by having a great physique. but, i think you can still be a good trainer/coach without putting all the work into yourself. you can still know all your stuff....you're just lazy and eat too much mcdonalds. i'm not saying you'll get a lot of clients - i'm just saying you can have the knowledge even if you don't put all the work into your own body.
