Personal Training Performing Suspicious Activity

Registered Kinesiologist Claims Many Personal Trainers Are Ripping Off Their Clients

News1130 - September 24, 2007 - by Katharine Kitts

VANCOUVER(NEWS1130)- Personal trainers are usually hired to help people get in shape and feel good about themselves. But one registered kinesiologist claims more and more trainers are ripping off their clients, leaving them feeling needy, dependant and broke.

Kyle Stanton is a registered kinesiologist and says after a year and a half in the industry, he's seen an increase in suspicious activity. Stanton says one problem is, people fork out thousands of dollars, without asking questions first. And he says it's easy for trainers to get away with it. "There's no certification at all in Canada required at all. There's no overriding body in Canada at all that says people need to have any sort of education, training or insurance to call themselves a personal trainer...there's nothing!"

Want to Lose Weight? Change Your Plates!

Dish It Out
A specially designed plate can help you control portions and lose weight

The Windsor Star - September 29, 2007 - by Grace Macaluso

Have trouble figuring out how much to eat? A ceramic diet plate that delineates proper portion sizes for meats, starches and vegetables could be the solution.

The Diet Plate was first invented by a British woman more than 10 years ago, but now a University of Calgary study says it has clinical proof that the portion plate can help obese people lose weight and help diabetics curb their use of drugs.

"Often people don't want to give up anything, so you say, 'How about if you switch to a smaller plate and you don't go back for seconds?' " says University of Windsor Kinesiologist Kenji Kenno.
