the right coach
Having the right trainer can be the most incredible experience of someone’s life. Having the wrong trainer can be the most devastating experience.
Many people spend countless hours researching the purchase of a car, home, or even a cell phone, so you shouldn’t spend the same amount of time and research finding a professional trainer to help you take care of your most valuable asset: your body.
Personal training does not come in a one-size-fits-all model. Is personal. Each individual is a unique creation of body type, mind, lifestyle, background, tastes, strengths, and challenges.
Therefore, we cannot all be or do the same things.
The right personal trainer will create a program that is unique to you, because fitness is not a product for sale, it’s a lifestyle. And any coach who focuses on direct selling and not your wellness is probably not the coach for you. I interview my clients and they interview me.
My practice is based on the belief that I can make your life better and healthier with my approach and attitude. My clients determine if my methods fit their personality and goals.
Together, we determine the overall results we can achieve. Whether we’re talking about one-on-one or online clients, working together on an individual plan is the only real way to long-term success.
Here are some key points that should be raised in an interview with any personal trainer:
(1) Body Type: You need to know your body and find out how you would be instructed to treat your body (including nutrition and rest).
(2) Health history: injuries, surgeries, illnesses, medications Milestones: control measurements, blood, blood pressure.
(3) Responsibility: on both ends and find out if it will be put in writing.
(4) Friendliness and comfort: You are going to be connected with your coach for a long time, so you should feel comfortable from the beginning, a comfortable sixth sense. Turn on your new radar to meet someone. Listen, observe and ask questions.
Once these points are clear, it will be easy to connect with the right coach for you. You will be clear about your expectations and will know if they offer you a generic fitness program or one tailored to your needs.
These are things to experience from the intake and interview stage and only when these steps are done can you, as a potential client, make an informed decision about the next step of hiring the trainer or not.
But don’t settle for anything less than amazing, our clients always say that their first experience at the first meeting was amazing.
Remember to respect your body and yourself enough to know that you deserve the best.
