It's an interesting comparison at the highest level, but if you 
consider the number of "people-problems" solved by an ICT input 
versus a *personal* trainer input, it makes sense. The power of ICT 
is so much greater in both time and reach. Personal training is a 
real-time activity like any sort of coach or tutor to address 
perceived individual needs. The paradigm of ICT is to solve classes 
of problems and to increase efficiencies, unlike what personal 
trainers do. Personal trainers will always be in business as long as 
the fast-food industry exists.
