How many of you use a personal trainer?

It is a lot smarter to get a strength coach than a personal trainer.

Completely false. The best trainer is the one who is the most knowledgeable, won't jerk you around for your money, and is best suited to achieve your goals. There are tons of useless ones who get their certificate online or understand less than the average Kineseology student and then there are the gems.

In either case you would make sure to get someone good at what they do (knowledgeable) so that's a moot point. What I am suggesting is the average person will get more out of spending an hour with a strength coach than a personal trainer.

Edit - Generally strength coaches have more education required to get their cert - CSCS vs. ACE
