Whether you want to improve overall health or bounce back from an injury, there are a number of factors you need to consider when selecting a personal trainer, including certifications, insurance, education and experience. In addition, new training techniques are introduced regularly, so trainers need to stay abreast of recent advancements to ensure the safety and health of their clients.
We also make an effort to create a diverse network of trainers with different specializations. Other criterion includes:
• Communication skills. Each of our trainers must be able to work with various personality types.
• Motivational techniques. Personal training should be more than rote workouts. Effective trainers are sources of motivation, support and encouragement.
• Evaluations. Personal trainers should perform evaluations before diving into a new program. The evaluation consists of three parts: verbal communication of goals, activity level and limitations; strength/fitness assessment; and a discussion of results and training options.
