Personal Trainer advice

Her PT is obviously going a little bro style as most PTs do but that does not mean it won't get her results it just may mean she picks up some stupid habits and poor information. She may need a different approach. Just leave it and see if your girlfriend responds to a different approach. Otherwise go out and find a good PT in you area and get her to see them.
 

actually, if she's very unfit or needs to lose some weight, starting off with some basic changes isn't such a bad idea. We can sometimes lose perspective when already so used to training. Let her take one thing at a time.
I did the same (although I need to put on weight). years ago, I started just getting basic fitness on track and eating right and looking at what injuries or imbalances I had. One step at a time and I stuck to it and made real progress.
