If so, why?  What about the girls who go out and purchase those workout DVDs? Will their end results differ? What do girls need to look for when choosing a trainer?  What sets you apart from other trainers? Do girls need to be mentally ready to take on a workout program?  How does mental attitude affect the process? Is it basically the harder you work, the better results you will see?  Do genetics play a role in the end result or is it possible for everyone to achieve their dream body? Are your plans personalized for each client?  How do you go about personalizing a plan for someone? What is the fastest way to lose fat?  What is the best type of cardio? How often should girls be stepping on the scale? Does the number on the scale really matter? How many days per week should someone be lifting weights? What are your favorite exercises that produce great results? Do you recommend protein shakes and supplements? Do you allow your clients to have treat meals? What are snacks that you recommend for clients who are always on the go, needing a snack between appearances and events? Do you recommend a certain eating plan during pageant week?
