What qualities should a personal trainer possess?
|
| |
Personal trainers should not only have a passion for
good health and fitness, they should also love to share
their expertise and help others reach their personal
goals.
|
|
Do you keep current with research? |
| |
The answer must be yes! Personal trainers need
to continually update their knowledge through continuing
education classes that can include seminars, workshops,
books, etc. Each trainer must earn a specific
number of hours per year in order to keep their certification
current.
|
|
Can you supply client references? |
| |
Good trainers have satisfied customers and won’t
hesitate to put you in touch with them. This
will give you the opportunity to ask about the trainer’s
method of training and inquire about the reliability
and dependability of the trainer.
|
|
Do you have liability insurance? |
| |
Personal trainers protect their clients by insuring
themselves and their services against personal injury
and property loss. Each of our professional trainers
carry liability insurance.
|
|
Are you certified in CPR and first aid? |
| |
A certified trainer must maintain a current certification
in CPR as part of their personal trainer certification
requirements.
|
|
Are you available on the days and times I've selected? |
| |
We will select a trainer within our team who can provide
you a workout at a time which is convenient for you.
|
|
What are your fees? |
| |
The answer to this question varies depending on whether
you are going to train at the gym, home, or office
and whether the session is a one on one session or
a group session. The length of the session also
determines the fee.
|
|
What are your training/business policies? |
| |
It’s a good idea to find out up front what the
policies are with regards to fees, cancellations, billing
procedures, etc. During our initial free session,
we will discuss our policies. We believe that
our clients should have all the information they need
to make an informed decision. Our goal is to
establish an excellent working relationship with each
of our clients.
