Hey there, hope everything is going great for you. Lets cut to the chase. As I posted the other day in my opinion if you really want to get into shape you should find a good to great trainer. The problem is that there are a lot of trainers out there all claiming to be good or even great. So how do you tell the good ones from the bad ones.
First of all, you not only want a good trainer but one that fits well with you. So you need to find the trainer that has the following attributes:
1. Communication – The good to great trainers are excellent communicators. They are able to explain what they are doing and why in simple English. So if you find a trainer that can’t explain to you what and why he or she is having you do something where you understand it run away quick!
2. Compatibility – When you looking for a trainer you want to make sure you like them and trust them. You also want to make sure that they fit the style that is going to help keep you going. I saw a ad recently where a lady was looking for a trainer that was like a drill instructor. She said she needed someone that would be hard and demanding. So for her Mr. Nice Guy trainer would not do her any good no matter how good he is.
In my boot camp classes we have a lot of fun. I have in my opinion some of the best clients a trainer can ask for. We laugh a lot. So if your a stick in the mud, my boot camps would not be for you. Remember one style does not fit all. Make sure the training style fits you.
3. Successful Track Record – When looking for a trainer you are looking for someone who is going to give you results so make sure they have the ability to get results with the clients. Read all the testimonials that they have and if you get a chance talk to their clients and see what they have to say. If the trainer has no testimonials find someone else. You don’t want or need to be his guinea pig.
Once you find your trainer, get started immediately. Also go in and work as hard as you can and be very attentive to his instruction. Remember trainers are human too. The more a good trainer knows you want to reach your goals the more he or she is going to put their energy toward you. They are looking for success stories, you could be one of them, a definite win-win situation.
I hope this helps get you moving toward winning your Fitness Game.
Next time, I will be talking to you about boot camps versus one on one personal training. It is definitely going to be a interesting post.
Until then stay safe and be blessed!!!
