Most personal trainers aren't very good in a true sense. Meaning they really don't know that much about effective diet and excercise.

However, as long as she knows more than you do you are ahead of the ball game.

Certifications are mostly useless as a reference to who is good or not. Most certifications don't require a hell of a lot of real knowledge.

The best thing you can do. Is set up some measurable goals and establish a time fram to accomplish them. If the program she gives you achieves them, then she is good for you.

Also, she should be a teacher also. A good personal trainer will do themselves out of a job. And maybe only need to pop up once every 6 weeks or so to keep you on track.

So suck her dry of information.
