Anyone can become a personal trainer at a gym. Doesn't mean that they necessarily know what's best for you. There are a few p.t. certifications that are a joke you could "earn" online. Here are some things I've heard from personal trainers over the years at a gym:

"Squatting below parallel is bad for your knees"
"Don't do more than two muscles per day or else you'll overtrain"
"For a killer chest routine, do cable crossovers-3 sets low, 3 high and you'll hit the muscle from every angle"
"You have to do every exercise with perfect strict form or else you'll never grow"
...And on and on, so on and so forth.

Please, never listen to any one personal trainer..Get as many opinions as possible. And to be honest, back when I first started, the only people I asked advice from was the people who practiced what they preached. Personal trainers are best equiped to respond to "overall" physical fitness, not anything strength/bodybuilding related: for the majority...Not saying all!
