For those of you who may be looking for a personal trainer to either to take you to your next level of fitness or if you are just starting on your journey to a healthy lifestyle I would like to offer a few suggestions.
Realize all trainers are different. We have different philosophies, different personalities, different backgrounds and education. In other words we do not fit into one mold as some would think. When searching for a trainer (and it should be a search) interview those who you feel would compliment you and your individual needs.
You should feel totally comfortable with that trainer, able to confide in and communicate your needs and goals. Don't feel because your health club set you up with a particular trainer that you have to use that person. Set up interviews just as you would hiring anyone.
A trainer should present a professional appearance; clean, appropriately dressed and on time. A trainer who shows up in flip flops, unshaven, late, looking as if they just rolled out of bed is not projecting the professionalism or respect that you, as a client, should require.
Express your needs and goals and ask for an introductory session. You should be totally comfortable with whoever is training you. If that trainer is talking or texting on his or her cell phone, constantly talking about their lives while you are working out they aren't focusing on YOU!
