I've had experiences with two trainers—one male, one female. By looking at them, you wouldn't know they were personal trainers. Neither of them had muscular definition. Both had roundish midsections (but nothing major). However: the male had previously weighed 50 lbs. more than he did and the female was a competitive cyclist, swimmer, and runner.
The bottom line is: both of them had professional designations for personal training and they knew their shit.
If you want to be a trainer, don't worry about how you look. A client will know after a workout or two just how effective you are. Be more concerned about your training knowledge, being able to customize to your clients' goals, and learn to build an excellent rapport. Clients that concerned about looks are not the kind of clients you want anyway. You want clients who respond to instructions, corrections, and motivational cues. You want clients who want to work hard to achieve their goals.
Both of those trainers kicked my ass on the floor.

I've seen several trainers with that kind of build. (The females anyway, of which there are many.)
