If you’re looking for a personal trainer, then you may already know what to look for and what to need. Alternatively, you might not know what to look for. Here’s what you should consider.
1. Establishing why you want a personal trainer will help you to choose the right one. You might want one that’s very patient, or very demanding, or has achieved certain goals themselves.
2. Your aims will also help you to make the right choice. If you want to lose weight, then you’ll want a trainer who is experienced in weight loss. You might need help with improving your sporting ability or endurance. You might have had an operation or suffer from a medical condition, and need help with getting back to full fitness.
3. You’ll want to choose a personal trainer who has plenty of experience in dealing with different sorts of clients, and people in your position and with goals like yours.
4. It’s important that you check the qualifications that your personal trainer has. You don’t want to be given wrong training and exercise advice that could be doing you more harm than good.
5. You might want to check out the reputation of your trainer too. This will help you to make sure that people are happy with the service and advice they receive
6. You’ll want to know what sort of exercises your trainer will recommend for your situation. You might need to carry out more aerobic and cardio based exercise, or need to work out more with weights.
7. It’s important that if you struggle with motivation, your trainer will help you to stay focused and keep to your schedule so that you can make the progress you want to. By setting goals you might be more inclined to go to the gym more often.
8. You might also need to establish where you will have your training sessions. You might need to go to the gym to use weights and cardio machines, but perhaps if you’re looking for diet advice and help with lifestyle changes, you don’t need to go to the gym.
9. It’s essential that you like your trainer, and get on with them, and that they have a good personality. You might prefer a trainer that isn’t chatty, and doesn’t want to talk about sports results or TV programmes, so that you can concentrate on your weight loss or exercise goals instead.
10. The cost of your personal trainer should give you value for money. If you have specific goals in mind, such as losing a lot of weight, or improving your sporting performance, then you’ll want to get the results in a short space of time, so you’ll think that paying for a trainer is worth it. There’s nothing that says the most expensive trainer will be better than the cheapest, although it makes sense to get the trainer that’s right for you, rather than choosing on cost alone.
