@Rasmus First, I'm not trying to debate on whether your opinions are correct, but I'm going to give a reason why it would be beneficial to each point (if there is one!). I figure perhaps there is something I just didn't mention or explain well enough. If this is not the case say so.

#1: Not much I can say here, this is true. Only thing is the ease of availability to reviews of different routines, but that might not be very significant (especially for someone like you who has years of training).

#2: Atleast here in America most personal trainers have no reason to be training. They give the same workout for everyone, everday. Granted I will admit this will also, but I know that with many different options people would choose what sounds fun and not something an inexperienced trainer gives everyone.

#3: It's true many people avoid any type of "homework" for this. We're all taught go for long distance runs for the best fat loss (which is incorrect to an extent). I think the idea of that is what turns a lot of people away from losing weight\working out. Personally I'm the most fit aerobically and anaerobically and I've cut long distance running down to a max of once a week.

#3 continued: By seeing that there are many options for losing fat (or whatever the goal) through workouts outside of just long distance running I know this will make more people interested. Now, this doesn't mean they will put in the necessary effort in their diet also, but it is a start. I know once I started working out I just kind of switched to eating healthier or else you just kind of feel bad.

I definitely look forward to what you think though! If we're still on complete opposite sides of the fence on this then we can end it here. If not though I wouldn't mind discussing it further.

P.S. Once I know danish better than you know English then I will say something about it. Plus it makes perfect sense.
