If you have decided to hire a DC personal trainer to help you achieve your fitness goals then there are several things you need to look out for when choosing the right trainer for you. Asking for a list of personal trainers from your local DC gym will help you to find someone who is qualified as a trainer and can design a personal training program just for you.
A personal trainer needs to be certified as this gives you an assurance that they know what they are doing and to provide safe and effective workouts to clients, whether this be on a one-to-one basis or as part of a class in your local gym. Look for personal trainers who have certification from nationally recognized associations as this will make it easier for you to check out for their credentials. Once you have checked their certification you should then consider the following points:
1. Ask for references from any prospective trainer and if possible check them out. Contact details from past clients can be invaluable and you should call them to find out if they recommend this personal trainer or not. Good personal trainers will always come highly recommended.
2. Ask about liability insurance and business policies. Some trainers will work as sole practitioners, whilst others may work out of your gym. You should make sure they have some form of professional liability insurance in place too. Ask about their fees and cancellation policies and if possible ask for a copy of those in writing.
3. Find a trainer who can cater for your specific needs, whether you are a beginner or already have a high fitness level. They should also consider any medical needs or limitations you may have when designing a fitness program for you so make sure any trainer you hire can deal with them.
4. Rates for a trainer will vary according to their experience, the fitness program you want and the length of sessions you want. A personal trainer from your local gym may charge less than someone who works on their own.
5. You will be spending a lot of time with your trainer so you need to pick someone you can work with and with whom you are comfortable to be around. You may want to pick someone of the same sex as you, or you may feel more comfortable around someone of the opposite sex.
Considering these things listed will make sure that you have the right one for you.
