I have a female trainer that's the same way. She's in good shape, but she's not bulky or anything. She's functioning as my nutritionist as well, understands the motivational aspects (per session; she can read my mood and adjust accordingly), and is consistently, consistently, consistently harping on form and injury prevention. Would much rather work with someone like her than someone who looks like they're on roids. BTW, I'm a 6'1", 295 lb (started at 340) guy and she has no problem making me do what I need to do.

Go for it.

You may find some male clients that want to work with you for, ummm, other reasons. Very alluring picture.
