I recently trained a few clients who had been with another trainer for over 2 years. They had been paying a lot of money, training 2-3 times a week. Working out for them had turned into a social hour; the trainer talking of his personal life, clients basically doing a bit of cardio, stretching and no strength training. While he talked, they worked out on their own and were paying for that!!
For those of you who want to increase your strength and stamina, effectively lose weight and become fit and healthy, it takes work. Make sure your trainer is doing his or her job!!! You are paying for a service; don't be taken advantage of.
When you are searching for a trainer, ask for recommendations from friends, co-workers or gym management. Make an appointment to talk to the trainer, see if you both are on the same page. Be honest about what you want to accomplish and most importantly be honest about any physical limitations you might have i.e. knee problems, lower back issues, etc. If you belong to a health club or gym which has a number of trainers, talk to them all. Find the right trainer for you!
Don't let your workout become a social hour; save that for a later time.
