  This article will help you sort out the great from the not-so-great, when it comes to Perosnal Trainers. It's not all about their good looks and 6 packs remember!

  Someone who is willing to listen, give you 100% of their attention throughout the session and understand what your goals are. It's always good to make sure they know what they are talking about and have the appropriate qualifications to back it up.

  My experience with Personal Trainers has not been good. I find that they will take on clients that they are NOT trained to deal with and therefor are uninsured whilst taking that client.
  
  A PT with a Diploma is much more qualified than a 2 week PT graduate. I won't put sugar on it, most PT's are interested in your business rather than your wellbeing.
  
  Does your PT understand that training at different intensities improves different aspects of fitness / health? Does your PT understand that core stability is way beyond essential before completing any of these rediculous “boot camp” style exercise routines? Would your PT have the courage to admit he couldn't help you… and refer you to a more highly qualified individual?
  
  If you can answer YES to those 3 points, you've found your PT - they're probably the ugly one… but are you shopping for results or because you need somewhere to throw your money away? Reply to this post  |  Report
