Personal Training
A personal trainer helps people exercise. The scope of practice for a personal trainer is to enhance the components of fitness for the general, healthy population.
The 5 classic components of fitness are muscular strength, muscular endurance, body composition, cardiovascular endurance, and flexibility, although there are other subsets like power, skill, and speed. The general population is defined as an age range of 18 to about 50 (45 and younger for males, 55 and younger for females). The definition of healthy in this context means an absence of a disease that would affect one's ability to exercise.
Anyone outside that scope of practice should be placed in a trainer's scope after a visit to the doctor to see what kind, if any, exercise they are capable of.

Eli Jau
At the age of 19, I weighed a staggering 263lbs; 10 months later with the help of a trainer and, now a great friend of mine, I dropped to 185 lbs. After losing so much weight, I made it my life's mission to help others in need, so I became a personal trainer.
Currently I'm in the process of graduating from SFSU with a degree in kinesiology and physiology, emphasis in Physical Therapy and Minor in Athletic Training. This is not a job for me, it is my career and I love every minute of it. I have tried just about every workout plan that there is on the market, and thanks to the experience I've gained, I was able to design a unique plan that my clients can enjoy without ever hitting a plateau.
I'll help you become fit and stay fit, utilizing the knowledge I've gained from training. You can enjoy life to the fullest while you maintain your body's healthy zone.
