Key Points to Look for in a Personal Trainer
Before choosing a personal trainer, you have to clarify your goals. Then look for trainers with extensive experience and certifications in those areas. Personal trainers should be certified by nationally recognized organizations like The American College of Sports Medicine. They should also carry their own liability insurance and be certified in CPR and first aid.
Here’s a checklist to help you hire the right trainer:
- Ask to see a copy of their certification to make sure it is not expired.
- Check their insurance and review their written business policies.
- Double check that the trainer is interested and qualifed in your goals and interests.
- Consider gender. Some people like working with members of the same sex while others don’t have a preference.
- Be upfront about discussing fees. Ask if they have any package rates if you buy multiple sessions.
- Do not buy sessions from a trainer who doesn’t give a 100% money back guarantee.
- The first initial consultation should always be free.
- Ask for a list of references.
The personal trainer that best measures up to the above criteria is the one to hire. They are the one who will help you be all you can be.
