Dude, you think that is a lot? 7.5 whole days? It's nothing compared to others in the health field. Sorry. And it is the health field. Have you had a basic anatomy and physiology course? Biomechanics, biology, kineseology, anything like that? I'm not trying to insult you but it's just ridiculous that people think that is a qualification. And I never heard of WITS.
Personal research? I do that. Anybody can do that. This is helping to illustrate my point. "Encouraging" someone to research these things? You plan on buying accesss to all the journals? You plan on taking courses? Other than seminars or 1 or 2 day things? Are you trained in the sciences enough that you can understand that research? Don't get me wrong...continuing education is a big deal.
Anyway this is not about you and of course some people are going to have good trainers. I hope you will be one of the great ones. But the majority of people out there walking into a commercial gym are getting crap. There are plenty of trainers with exactly the kind of background you are speaking of who AREN'T QUALIFIED.
I don't care about the trainers. I'm defending the people who are getting ripped off by them. If there was a licensure, it would be up to the individual states but maybe governed by an independant orgainization for oversight. Sort of like it is wiht "certified athletic trainers".

If you act sanctimonious I will just list out your logical fallacies until you get pissed off and spew blasphemous remarks.
