What to look for in a personal trainer?
I know what you mean. I'm thin now and active doing walking and swimming, but I still don't think of myself as athletically inclined. I have little to no experience with strength training and alot of gym equipment, much less form, etc. I have my first appointment with him at his gym on Friday lunchtime. It is about 30 minutes from my house but I want some personal interaction to help boost my confidence.

I highly recommend finding someone who is certified - certifications require continuing education. Anyone can call themselves a trainer.
My preference for certification is ACE.
