Personal Trainers

I am often asked the question “How do I know if a trainer is good?” Many trainers have great skills in certain areas but not so great skills in other areas. Over-all you want to have a trainer that has most of the following attributes. Look for a trainer that:

• Holds current certifications
• Is goal directed
• Is experienced
• Is motivating and positive
• Is attentive to you and your specific needs
• Is educated (in science and health)
• Is diversified in training abilities and techniques
• Is able to design periodic changes in training
• Is able to address the core abdominal and back muscles
• Is able to address posture
• Is able to address flexibility
• Is able to explain so you can understand
• Is able to perform an initial physical assessment
• Is keeping up with current trends in health and fitness
• Is watching you as you work and is not distracted
• Is doing what they say they will do
• Is keeping records of your progress
• Is encouraging you and keeping you accountable without enabling you
• Is listening to you
• Is able to provide specific measurable solutions to overcome challenges
• Is checking on your nutrition every session
• Is able to teach safe techniques to avoid injury
• Polite, well groomed
