4. How do I interview each personal trainer?
If you've never chosen a personal trainer before, you may be wondering how
you're going to decide among the personal trainers who offer you their services.
All FindMyTrainer professionals are pre-screened, certified, and insured. How do
you choose the right one for you? What should you expect? How can you prepare
for the appointment? Here are some tips.
a. Make sure you communicate well with each other. Do you feel at ease with this
person? Your rapport with this person will prove to be as important as their
training skills. You want someone who will motivate and encourage you as well as
design appropriate exercise programs and assist you in proper form.
FindMyTrainer works hard to give you a choice of personal trainers so you can
find the one that best suits your needs.
b. Come up with a list of your goals. Include in that list the time frame, if
any, you want to accomplish those goals in. Have this list on hand with each
trainer interview. Also, go over pricing at this time.
c. Require that trainer perform an evaluation. The evaluation should consist of
3 parts: verbal communication of goals and limitations as well as current
activity level; strength/fitness assessment; going over results and discussing
training options. Find a Personal Trainer

5. How do I choose the right personal trainer?
Whether you want to get in shape or are looking to help with injury
rehabilitation, several important factors should be taken in to consideration
before selecting your personal trainer.
Is the personal trainer certified, insured, and experienced of educated enough
to work with you? With new training techniques being introduced every month you
have to make sure that your training is safe and done properly. In recent years
there has been an increasing trend to be health. You can’t watch a televisions
ad for the latest weight loss center or diet pill, and bookstores are full of
informative literature on nutrition and fitness. Healthy living and proper
nutrition are becoming the ideal in society. A certified and insured trainer who
has taken in to consideration your specific needs will assist you in reaching
your goals as well as assisting you in discovering multiple additional fitness
benefits. When you use FindMyTrainer, you don't have to worry. We've checked out
all our personal trainers to make sure they're certified and qualified to do the
work.
Once your goal is reached, will the personal trainer continue working with you?
Once your goals have been reached, maintenance will be required to keep you at
your ideal fitness level. Whether or not you continue with your trainer or begin
a program on your own is entirely up to you. Your trainer should discuss this
with you and suggest future options. The price for personal training depends on
experience and specialties and usually offers lower rates when sessions are
purchased in packages. Does experience matter? Absolutely. The longer a trainer
has been in the field, the more hands on experience and education they have.
Also certifications have continuing education unit (CEU) requirements that must
be met to renew the certifications. Typically certification lasts 2 years before
renewal, so the longer the trainer has been certified, the more CEU’s they have
completed. Experience can increase rates. FindMyTrainer trainers are required to
submit a proof pf current certifications as well as client testimonials and
references.

6. What is the best training style for me?
There are multiple training styles. It is possible that your needs fall under
one specific training style. More likely, you will want a trainer who trains
with various styles to give you complete, well-rounded fitness. For example, you
may want to focus on changing your body composition, yet you have had two knee
surgeries. You want to make sure that your trainer has knowledge of lower body
rehabilitation so that in your quest to slim down you don’t re-injure your
knees. Every person has different limitations and strengths which warrant
different types of training. A good trainer can help you identify exactly what
you want to work on safely and effectively. Find a Personal Trainer

7. How do I know what a fair price is for the training I need?
Pricing varies depending on education, experience, and time. Another variable
that could be added in to the price is distance the trainer has to travel to get
to you. Keep in mind that trainers must pay for their insurance as well as
keeping their license current so these expenses are often handed down to the
consumer. You can discuss options with your trainer as far as payment plans and
package deals go. Find a Personal Trainer

8. How long does the average goal take?
The length of time it takes to reach a particular goal varies from person to
person. It also depends on how ambitious or aggressive the goal is. Your trainer
should advise you on the specifics of what to do on your own. Following their
advice will help you to accelerate your quest for optimum fitness. FindMyTrainer
provides top notch professional trainers so take advantage of their honest
advice. Find a Personal Trainer

9. Who provides the equipment?
Trainers who travel to y our home or office may use equipment that you have at
your disposal, or they may bring their own. An entire health club full of
equipment is not necessary to obtain fitness. Portable equipment is just as
effective. If you want to be trained in a private studio, then all the equipment
is provided for you. If you have equipment in your home or office gym, it must
be inspected by the trainer prior to use. All equipment must be in proper
working order and safe to use. FindMyTrainer requires all trainers to obtain
insurance prior to training clients. Find a Personal Trainer

10. Where can I train?
FindMyTrainer allows you to choose where you want to be trained. You may have
equipment in your home and would like to train there. No equipment? No problem.
Trainers can travel to you and bring their equipment to your home. The same
scenario goes for you office. Can’t seem to get to the gym? Have the trainer
come to your office for a lunch time workout that gives you energy for the rest
of the day. There are also private studios where trainers can train their
clients. No lines, no waiting, or crowds. Do you like fresh air when you work
out? Have your trainer meet you at the beach of a park for a fun way to spend
your session. Find a Personal Trainer
