Agreed with the topic, unfortunately, there are quite not less trainers just only watching the exercises video from youtube and just let their clients do all things like copy & pasted. They should focus on: - Evaluate clients first, which part is too tight (mobility exercise needed first) or too weak (stability exercise needed first) - Create an exercises program following the specific clients goals, covering all planes and working their all muscle groups. - Balancing their cardio based, sometimes the program is so good but not match with the clients cardio fitness, and this thing has a big effect for both sides trainer and clients. No hurry, keep the basic movement, slow pace at the beginning will help them reach there goals.

Of course, yes! We can not do functional training right or perfect at the first time that we start. Start practicing with your own body weight, learn how to move naturally with CORE CONTROL then following by carrying an external load or functional training equipments. Trust me if you can perform all functional training postures well! You will have lots of more clients that would like to train with you
