Looking for a Trainer?

How long has it been since you actually felt good about yourself?

Remember a time when the thought 'maybe I'm meant to be this weight' never even crossed your
mind?

Or perhaps you've just got back from your local gym and signed up for the latest hula hoop class
(god forbid) and suddenly come to the realisation that your body is changing in the WRONG way
and there may be only one other thing you can do about it!

This is usually the time when you'll consider using a personal training service, but with so many
trainers out there, where do you start?

If you've never even considered a service of this kind before then what should you look for?

If this is going through your mind right now then fear not, as I may just have the perfect solution for
you. So sit down, grab yourself a herbal tea or a glass of water and read on.

Don't Be Afraid to Ask

Some years ago the idea of a personal trainer was far beyond most peoples reach. Nowadays
they're everywhere as courses become accessible to any Tom, Dick or Harriet.

Hence the article, I'm writing this to help you get a better idea of what you should be asking and
looking for in a fitness professional.

Here are my 10 top tips to help you find the right trainer.

1. Find a trainer that specialises in your goal.

Many trainers tend to be jack of all trades and masters of none. Find a trainer that knows about
your goals and exactly how to tackle them

2. How educated is your trainer?

Education and knowledge are of up most importance, I'm very fortunate to have trained with some
of the leading fitness professionals in the country and keep in regular contact with them as we
discuss new ideas and the state of the profession. I'm also very fortunate to work with one of the
leading physiotherapists in his field, Fraser Pressdee BSc (Hons) MCSP BSY (SpM). To me,
having the skills that I've acquired and the friends that I have made over the years in this
profession all contribute to make me very fortunate and extremely grateful to be surrounded with
true experts in their field. Hopefully, your soon to be trainer will have that same knowledge passion
and drive as my friends and myself have maintained over the years.

3. How long are the sessions and how much?

The usual is an hour. Here, we train our clients for as long as we believe they need to be worked
for. Some may not make the full hour some will exceed over the hour session by coming in earlier
to warm up. Once the job is done there's nothing more to do. Let me put it this way, if you pay an
osteopath to crack your back into place and it takes him 2 minutes but it's a 30 minute
appointment, they won't offer you another service. The job is done, simple as that and we are no
different!

4. How many hours of on floor training have they done?

How long someone has been a trainer is completely different to how many hours they've actually
been coaching. For all you know they could have been a trainer for 5 years and only had a regular
clientele of 4 appointments per week.

5. What about references?

Testimonials are all well and good, we use them and everyone is genuine. Unfortunately, that may
not be the case with all. Ask for references before agreeing to train with your coach if you don't
know of them.

6. Do they have a contract?

We have a written contract both for cancellations and for the guarantees that we promote. Make
sure your trainer has.

7. Will you under go a full assessment?

Assessments are crucial, if you're not assessing your guessing it's as simple as that. Before you
even start your first session you should be taken through an assessment to test for muscle
imbalances, posture, range of movement, muscle firing and inner range contraction techniques.
The most advanced assessment is the Kinetic Chain Assessment with only a handful of specialists
in the UK.

8. Do they listen to you?

You'll be surprised at the amount of trainers that don't listen to their clients. Just because the
trainer knows more than you, doesn't mean the trainer knows exactly what you want. Make that
clear to your trainer, remember, you're the one paying.

9. Look for enthusiasm not eagerness.
Eager trainers tend to be impatient trainers; impatient trainers give you all the new never seen
before exercises but, rarely give you the results you came for.

10. Master or disaster?

Make sure your trainers train themselves. How can a trainer possibly be a master of certain
movements if he or she has never done them before?

Personal training is an easy career to get into, it's a long and hard career to be excellent in and
when you train yourself you have a better understanding of what it feels like. I truly believe trainers
should never ask their clients to do something they can't. Unless of course you're training a world
class athlete or similar in which case I'll let you off.

Conclusion

Now you may think I'm being slightly biased towards my own company and my coaches, but I'm
really not. I'm being completely honest, what I have set out to achieve is an outstanding Personal
Training Company that delivers results with true professionalism.
