- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
When looking to hire a personal trainer, experience, personality and trust are key components. The trainer should have a range of knowledge and experience in dealing with clients of different ages, skill levels and physical restrictions. For a successful client/trainer relationship the trainer must be personable and able to relate to the client. I have experienced my own transformation. I know the struggles, mentally and physically. In addition, trust is very important. The client will not get the results he/she wants without mutual trust. The client must trust that the trainer always has their best interests in mind. It is the trainers job to judge how hard to push and when to hold back but the client must also be honest with the trainer so proper adjustments can be made when needed. Lastly you should have fun -- the best training sessions are when at the end the client is already excited for the next.
