Finding a Personal Trainer:
from The New York Times (March 3 2011):

"A good personal trainer should be someone who has a college degree or certification in exercise physiology, and can communicate and motivate. A good personal trainer for older adults should have that - and something else: an understanding of the aging process. '...a 55- or 65-year-old, whose injury history and medical conditions will vary, require a more individualized program.'
The way to find a good trainer is often by word of mouth... Another option: the fitness association IDEA recently started a database, Fitness Connect, on its site: ideafit.com, that allows users to find a personal trainer by location, age and specialty."
