There are so many benefits to hiring a personal trainer. From motivation to education and accountability to proper technique, you’re sure to make a lasting impact and progress towards your goals. Each personal trainer has their own unique style, as well as their own unique journey that got them there. Since personal training is such a personal experience, we want to help you make sure that you’re finding the right fit for you and your needs. Here are 5 questions worth asking a personal trainer.
1. What’s your fitness speciality?
Each Coach has a fitness speciality, whether it’s sports performance, long distance running, weight loss, or something else. Depending on your goals, finding a Coach that works within your scope and goals can be a really beneficial part of your training and progression.
2. What certifications do you have?
There are so many certifications that are available to personal trainers. With everything from Bone Fit to Fascia Stretch Therapy, Precision Nutrition and more, each personal trainer will have certifications that will help you in your fitness journey. Finding out your Coach’s certifications can help guide you in your decision-making process.
3. How do you assess new clients?
Progress can’t be tracked without a benchmark, which will first require a proper and thorough assessment. At Momentum Fitness, we understand that assessments can sometimes be a barrier for some people. However, it’s so important for our personal trainers to assess the way your body moves as well as your body composition so that the Coach can clearly track your results.
4. How do you track fitness goals?
Each of our clients has different fitness goals – some broad, and some very specific. Whether it’s to fit into an old pair of jeans, run a 5km race, or be strong enough to carry their grandkids, tracking those unique goals is important. Finding out how a Personal Trainer Hamilton tracks goals with their clients can be an important part of making sure you’ll stay motivated throughout your fitness journey.
5. What’s your preferred style of encouragement?
Do you prefer high-fives, loud cheers or encouraging mid-week texts? How about being told to push harder, or hearing that you’re an absolutely incredible human being capable of so much? Some clients feel highly motivated by it, while others come to tears from the overwhelming positivity. It’s important for you and your personal trainer to determine what their preferred style of encouragement is, and communicate what you’re most comfortable with. The rest will come easy!
