What To Look For When Hiring A Personal Trainer?

The role of trainers is so important because they can either make you love or hate your fitness journey. So here are a few tips on finding the right one.

Clear Communication

Your personal trainer should be able to explain concepts or ideas in the clearest and simplest ways to make it easy for you to understand and apply. Being able to do this shows they have a good understanding of the subject.

Listens And Empathises With You

Your personal trainer should be willing to listen to the struggles that you’re facing and offer solutions or restrategise when necessary, instead of just chalking it up as excuses and pushing you harder.

Creates Accountability  

The actual job of your personal trainer is to keep you accountable, consistent, and focused on your goals, not yell in your face for an hour or count reps for you in the gym, you can just get an app for that.

Your personal trainer’s job is to ask you, “Have you done it?”

Gives You Full Attention

If your trainer is checking out other people in the gym or always on their phones during your session, just find yourself a better personal trainer. You’re paying for 100% of their attention during the entire span of your session.

Punctuality

If your personal trainer is always missing out on sessions or showing up late, you need to change your trainer. How are they going to keep you consistent, if they can’t even be consistent themselves?

Takeaway

Hiring the right personal trainer is important because they can make the difference between you enjoying or hating your journey. The best way to look for personal trainers when starting out is asking for recommendations from people who are already working out with personal trainers.
