- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Once you've decided to hire a personal trainer, how do you know you've found a good one? The best way to find a good one is to ask around. Word of mouth is a great way to find someone great. If you don't know anyone who has hired a trainer, heres how you find a good one. First, How many questions does the trainer ask that have nothing to do with fitness directly? A good trainer will want to know about much more than your fitness goals. If you talk to one and they ask you about your attitudes and opinions about exercise, your work schedule, family commitments, your history of stopping and starting exercise, etc., you've probably found a great trainer. Second, Does the trainer teach you movement or just exercises? This one might not be so obvious from your first conversation, but you can either ask directly or listen for how the trainer describes what they do. When they describe what they do, they explain that they will first determine what your body is capable of given any current or previous injuries or limitations you may have. Regardless of how they describe it, the trainer you hire should care about how you move your body. Both during and outside of the exercise session. Third, Do you get a good workout at the first session? I hope not. A terrible trainer puts people through hard workouts at the first session. A great trainer needs to get to know the people behind the programs they create. Thats what makes the training personal. During the first session, a quality trainer might teach you movement skills or exercise technique, or address specific issues you may have, but they cannot possibly have a full workout ready to go until they spend some time with you in person. Any trainer who boasts of making clients sore for days is to be unequivocally avoided because they dont know exercise.
