Defining a Personal Trainer

According to the American College Sports Medicine a Personal Trainer is a fitness professional who develops and implements an individual approach to exercise leadership in health populations and/or those individuals with medical clearance to exercise. A Personal Trainer will increase your knowledge about many aspects of fitness, saving one time and reducing their risk of injury. 

Is the perception really true that only the rich can afford this type of training?
*Absolutely not! In today's world personal trainers have become much more affordable, as the demand for them increases. 

Who could benefit from a Personal Trainer?
*Anyone! These individuals have developed skills to help push anyone at any level, from teaching one how to work a machine to motivating one to squat a 400 pound squat. 

How do you determine the right Trainer for you?
*Many believe that picking your close friend that trains is the best way to go, but actually this can be harmful. By picking an individual that you know or have heard a friend speaking praises about them, is a much better alternative. This way you and your trainer can make the connection needed to train, but never taking it beyond that to ruin the friendship you already have. Let's face it, there will be times where you are hating every word your trainer says!

Are all Trainers certified the same? 
*There happens to be a wide variety of associations in which Personal Trainers can get certified through and determining which is the best depends on the person you talk to. One question to ask a contending trainer is to see what kind of schooling they have. Those fields that are related to the occupation of Personal Training is ideal as these individuals have learned a much wider scope than those trainers who just took the certification.

Other things to consider?
*Meet any contending Personal Trainer before you decide. This will allow you to get a feel for them and you can also express your fitness goals to assure that they are comfortable with them. Making sure that they can meet your needs is always number 1!

Therefore, for those of you that may be in a fitness rut, simply don't know where to begin or even just need that extra push of motivation contact a Personal Trainer today to see what they can help you accomplish!
