"The definition of a personal trainer. When I think of the definition of a personal trainer I think working one on one with clientele to teach them how to use different machines, go through different exercises and to be confident about the exercises that they are doing.

Motivating goes hand and hand with teaching so again it helps with the confidence of the client. Also a friend, it's ok to be a friend to any or one or any number of clients.
