5 Things to Consider When Choosing a Personal Trainer

/in , ,

Do you need a Personal Trainer? – If you have a goal or something you want to achieve, the answer is yes. Working with a personal trainer has been PROVEN to achieve better & faster results than working alone.

What do you want from your Personal Trainer? – This is probably the most important question. Yet it is often the least explored. Most people will consider cost as the main priority. However, whilst money is an important factor, as everyone has their own budget, there is no point in getting the wrong service for the right price. If you are looking for a Personal Trainer to work with, then you are most certainly looking for a result of some kind.

reason you need a personal trainer

Therefore you should be looking for the best coach that you can within your budget. As yourself, “what do I want to achieve?” and then find the best person to help you achieve that. One session, week or even just one chat with the right person will be vastly more beneficial than any amount of sessions with someone who is throwing generic workouts at you.

How much should you pay for a Personal Trainer?

It may not seem so right now, but this is, by far, the least important question. The way to get the best results for your investment is to work out in advance what you can GENUINELY afford to pay, find the best person for your purposes and then work out the best way to put those things together.

Who is the best Personal Trainer for you?

Only you can really know the answer to that. But, you are going to be working with this person for a while and you will be spending a lot of time with them, so you MUST find out if you feel comfortable with them. You might be able to get a feel for this from their website, flyers, etc. If they can’t be bothered putting the effort into their public image, then how much effort are they likely to put into your training.

Do they offer a free consultation?

They should be confident enough in themselves to be willing to speak to you about them with no outlay on your part and use the consultation to make sure you are speaking to the right person for you.

5 Things to ask at the consultation:

Treat it like you would an interview.

Make sure you know what you are getting for your investment. This shouldn’t just be about your gym sessions. Remember there are 168hrs in a week unless you intend to spend most of that at the gym then you need to know that you are using the rest of your time wisely. What kind of nutritional advice will you receive? Will you be given a diet analysis? Will you get meal plans tailored to your needs? Etc.

How will your progress be tracked?

The only way to track body composition improvements is by measuring body fat. This should be done through the use of skinfold calipers NOT through the use of an electronic body fat tester or scales. How often will this be tracked? Ideally, you are looking for weekly feedback to ensure you are not going for long periods doing the wrong thing. Even if a programme SHOULD work, everyone is different and there are no guarantees so you need to get regular feedback.

How will your workouts be created?

Too many Personal Trainers treat every client as the next on the conveyor belt. If you are female, short and looking to flatten that stomach for your holidays, you should not be doing the same workout as a 6ft male who is obese and trying to stay out of the hospital. So if you find you are turning up and doing the same workout as the person that just left, I’d be questioning the effort and thought that is being applied to your training.

What is your guarantee? Your personal trainer should be able to Guarantee your results if you follow their guidance correctly. You should not be paying for 1hr sessions. You should get the session length that is right for you. Different people respond better to different training times. So if you are someone who is better suited to short sessions, you should not be doing 1hr sessions. If you are someone who is suited to long sessions, then you shouldn’t be getting cut off at 1hr. You are paying for a result and if you don’t get one then why should you pay for fruitless use of your time.

Once you get started

Watch out for bean counters – If you do sign up with a trainer, check that you are getting useful feedback. There are too many trainers who seem to think that their job is to count the reps out for you. If your ‘feedback’ is simply “ONE, TWO, THREE, FOUR, keep going, FIVE, SIX…etc” You may want to re-assess what you are paying them for.

Keep these things in mind and find the right Personal Trainer for you and whatever your goals ( flatten that stomach, burn the fat, shape your shoulders or increase your endurance) and it could be the best investment you’ve ever made.

3 Tips to Losing Belly Fat with a 10 Minute Workout:

1. Do your workout early in the day.

When working out, even for just ten minutes, your metabolism levels will be temporarily raised. A faster metabolism rate means that you will be burning off calories and stored fat at a quicker pace. Not only that, but this raised metabolism can last for a few hours after your workout. Since your metabolism naturally slows down when you sleep, doing your 10 minute workout close to your bedtime will mean that you won’t be able to take advantage of the higher metabolism boost. Doing your workout earlier in the day will result in you getting the maximum effect of the temporary raised metabolism.

2. Choose weight training exercises over aerobic exercises.

There are three reasons why this is recommended. The first is that weight training exercises burn more calories in the same amount of time as aerobic exercises. The second reason is that the increased metabolism levels last longer after doing a weight training workout. Finally, weight training leads to an increase in muscle mass. The more muscle tissue that you have, the more calories are burned throughout the day.

3. Change your workouts each day.

Muscles tend to learn a workout routine after a while. What this means is that your body, your muscles specifically, learn how to best complete a workout routine using the least amount of work. By changing your 10 minute workout each day, you create something called “muscle confusion,” which means that muscles are never able to adjust to your routine and are constantly working at their maximum levels. An easy way to accomplish muscle confusion is to work out a different muscle group each day. So one day you can do exercises that work out the chest muscles. The next day it may be the leg muscles. The following day it can be the arms muscles.

You can lose that belly fat simply by doing a 10 minute workout each day. Just be sure to do your workouts early in the day, select weight training exercises over aerobics, and cause muscle confusion by working out different muscle groups every day in order to get the most benefits of your workouts.
