What should I expect from a personal trainer?
The better question is “What should I expect from a personal trainer?”. This will help you decide which personal trainer to choose. When you look for a studio and trainer you should be asking:
-
How will you set up my fitness goals? Hint: these should be established at the start with a scheduled check-in. Ideally you know what you want!
-
How do you keep your clients motivated? Hint: your trainer should be emailing or texting you before each session, pushing you with incremental gains each workout and celebrating with you when you meet your targets.
-
What is your cancellation policy? Hint: avoid lock-in contracts unless you have already maintained a consistent 6 weeks workout with them. Check if you can pause and hold your session time for injury or holiday. How often has your trainer cancelled on their clients? How much notice do you need to give to cancel your session without charge? Will you use this to avoid your workout?
Why use a personal trainer?
Personal trainers are the guarantee you need to make sure the time you spend working out isn’t wasted. A personal trainer will:
-
Check your technique to ensure you exercise with perfect form and avoid injury
-
Ensure your workouts are challenging and balanced. You want enough variety to be interesting, enough consistency to improve!
-
Keep you accountable. A personal trainer helps you keep your commitment to yourself. Don’t pay “gym tax” with contracts and sessions you don’t attend, receive the dividends of your hard work paying off with a personal trainer.
