Are you looking to hire a personal trainer? Not quite sure where to start? There are a lot of trainers out there – and it’s hard to know how to find a good one. Here are three things to look for in your search:
1. Experience
It’s important that the trainer you hire has experience – especially experience with helping people like you get to their goals. Testimonials from other happy, satisfied clients are always a good indicator.
2. Credentials
Although simply looking at any kind of professional’s credentials is not a fail proof way to know you’ll be happy with your experience, you do want the trainer you hire to at minimum be certified by a nationally accredited personal training organization. NASM, NSCA, and ACSM are generally recognized as the top three. A degree in a related field is definitely a plus as well.
3. Compatibility
No matter how much experience your trainer has or how many letters they have behind their name, if you don’t get along with them, it could be a difficult experience for you. You’ll likely be spending one to three one-on-one hours per week with your trainer in the upcoming weeks and months – so meshing personalities is something that’s very important.
Experience, credentials, and compatibility are three things to look for in a personal trainer. It can be hard to find a good trainer that can work with you every step of the way to reach your fitness goals. Follow these three guidelines and you’ll be on the right track. Good luck with your search!!
