FAQs
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been interested in health and fitness since I was twelve years old. I got my first sand-filled weight set at fourteen, and have never looked back. I became a personal trainer at 20 years old because I loved to share my workout knowledge and tips with anyone who wanted it. I love working out and I wanted (and still do!) to share the "message" with everyone!
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When in the market for a personal trainer, ask for references. Make sure the trainer doesn't try to make you pay for several sessions up front without taking at least one to two sessions to decide if he is the right fit for you. Ask how long he has been a trainer because experience is everything in this field. Ask if being a trainer is his full-time career or does he really want to be an actor? Make sure he pays full attention to you and your form for the ENTIRE hour and doesn't get distracted by friends in the gym, the game on TV, or Facebooking on his iPhone every ten minutes!
