With apologies to all the PTs out there who are close to perfect (in PT terms, that is (I know a few of you – am dead jealous)) I’m feeling the need today to rant a little. With health and wellbeing at the forefront of pretty much everything these days the personal training (PT) industry is booming – and with it the judgments, oh, the JUDGMENTS!

I want a doughnut. Mother: You can’t have a doughnut. I’m not going to buy you anything with sugar in! *sigh* Is it no wonder obesity rates have soared? Where do you start??
