It's pretty much a crapshoot as to how knowledgeable the club "trainers" are. Some have college degrees and certification but no experience, some have years of experience and some have little or no experience at all.

In the US club trainers aren't even required to be certified. There is no system of licensure.
You really have to be careful in choosing a trainer.
