No, and unfortunately there are some fat/unfit personal trainers out there. I definitely don't think trainers need to be in shape to compete in an Ironman, but they should at least be role models for good health.

does ACSM pt certification require a physical test, too?! like to test your fitness and endurance before they certify you? it just seems strange to me that the popular certifying sites i've looked at never say anything about having to be physically fit before they certify you... :?
im asking this because i just broke my tib/fib about 7ish weeks ago(i think). it's not fully healed, but im wondering if i can still get certified really soon
