When hiring a personal trainer, most people think that there is not much of a difference between most fitness professionals. It seems true that way since all fitness trainers do the same thing which is to teach and get their personal training clients to exercise the best way to get the best fitness results. To reinforce the belief that all trainers are the same, it is regulated by the Australian fitness industry that all fitness trainers have to be at least Certificate 4 Fitness qualified. If not, they cannot find work and will not be able to get a liability insurance. With all these, it is not hard to understand why most people use training fee or price to determine who they should train with. Why bother look for the best fitness instructor? However, many people shortchange themselves by getting the cheapest trainer in town.
What happens most often is most people end up disappointed with the quality of the training and results delivered. It is easy to blame the personal trainer but very often the personal trainer who charge the lowest price is the least experience and may not have enough exposure to training different kind of clients.
There are also fitness trainers who did a 3 or more years exercise science degree that would give them more knowledge than the short fitness personal trainer course graduate. Obviously, with better exercise science knowledge the fitness professional can customized an exercise programme better for his or her clients. Usually, these fitness trainers tend to charge a higher fee. In this regards, personal trainers are definitely not the same. However, sometimes paying higher fee may not necessary means the best fitness results.
Then there are also fitness trainers that do the job on a part time basis because they may struggle to do it as a full-time paying job to get by. Usually, these fitness trainers are less committed to their fitness careers because they have another full-time paying job. With less commitment, they are probably less committed to their clients’ fitness goals. If you are looking to get the best fitness results, you might think twice about having a part time personal trainer.
By now, it is clear that personal trainers are not the same. So how can you ensure that you get the fitness trainer of your choice? First, ask yourself what do you want to get out of your fitness training. If you have specific fitness goal such as weight loss, then be sure to find a personal trainer who is niche and experienced in this area to avoid wasting your money on a personal trainer that cannot help you on this.
