How would i hire a Personal Trainer

Lots of people think hiring a personal trainer can be quite daunting and frankly they don´t know where to start and who to look to. In this blog I would like to outline what you need to look for when hiring a PT and what should make you run a mile.

A huge problem with personal trainers these days is that it takes barely any thing to become qualified and because of this it seems like everyone and their dog is a PT.  At the moment the market is saturated and you often pay the same for an absolute cowboy as you do for a real professional.

So what do you need to look out for when deciding to hire a trainer.
The first thing to keep in mind is that the big famous gyms are much more interested in money than quality and will generally hire anyone with a level 3 qual who applies for a job. Most respected trainers left the chain gyms a long time ago to work for smaller more private gyms or to set up their own studio.
That is not to say that there are no good trainers in the chain gyms, but you´ll have to look harder to find one. If you have a gym membership you are in a unique position to study some of the trainers and watch how attentive they are to their clients and how busy they are, good trainers are usually busy trainers.
The next thing to bare in mind is that you need to find a trainer who specialises in what you want.  Most trainers have three or four areas of specialty so you should have no problem finding a match.
For example if you are a middle aged lady you wont get the same service from a PT that trains both sexes as you will with a female specialist PT.
Check out their recommendations and history, is it good? do they come highly recomended?
Self investment is a great indication of how serious and professional the PT is, so without a number of extra qualifications and knowledge the trainer will have limited knowledge and experience which means they may not have all of the answers for you.
The last thing i want to talk about is marketing and content because its all about a trainer investing in themselves and their clients.  If a PT has a well established web site/s and provides a lot of content through blogs and articles it proves they are always learning and able to help clients through knowledge.
So with all the info above in mind you should have no problems hiring a good quality trainer in your area who will get you the great results you´re after and if not…. then give me a call
