Today I saw a blog that stated that the person blogging was the best personal trainer in Asheville. I'm Confused, that's a pretty bold statement. How does one determine that about themselves?
Choosing the right Personal Trainer should not be a quick decision; ever. There are many out there who call themselves a "high level" trainer but I want to give you some tips on choosing the right Personal Trainer.
1. Watch them work with their clients.....more than once.
Are they attentive, is the client's form and posture correct, are they doing the exercise correctly or just going through the motions and does the trainer and client look like they are having a good time.
2. Can the Trainer modify quickly to suit the individual? Do they train a variety of ages, shapes and fitness levels?
3. Can the Trainer work with an individual that has had a previous injury or surgery?
4. Can the Trainer spot correctly? This is very important!!!!
5. Does the Trainer practice what they preach? Do they dress appropriately and professionally?
6. Check credentials and insurance!
7. Test the Trainer! They should be in shape and strong themselves. Executing everything perfectly!
DON'T
Let a Trainer chase you around the gym looking for a hard sell.
Impulse buy..this could get you an injury.
Be shy! Ask other gym members/clients about their trainer. They'll tell you.
Let your Trainer work out with you! This is your time and money, not theirs!
Looking for a trainer....just ask me what to look for or a recommendation....I've been around.
Staying fit till the end!
