I did not know that we all need trainers. All I thought was that only professional sportsmen and women need trainers. Not until I became a victim of great complications did I understand the need for a personal trainer. I was nearly dying of lower back pains. Every time I could feel as if my limps are cracking and indeed I was in an unpleasant situation. I was advised to get a personal trainer and although I at first felt it will not yield any results, I can now happily confess I have never received any better advice.
Of course this is my story, but comrade, it can also be your story. You may not have felt any complications yet or you may say you have complications but not as serious as mine. But then, why should you wait for the storm to strike and then look for shelter?
For heaven’s sake, I would not wish you went through what I went through to get a personal trainer. I virtually became a victim of ‘had I known comes last’. But thank God, with personal trainers it is never too late but again, the earlier the better.
So please, get a personal trainer. But how do you get one?
How to find your personal trainer
With the assumption that you do not want to suffer my fate of getting a personal trainer so late or that you are already at the stage I was and have chosen to take this free advice of getting a personal trainer, I will volunteer to advise how you can get a reliable and effective personal trainer. Let’s see…
Have you ever heard of the simple phrase that you send a thief to catch a thief? If you have never, then today you have. Trainers know where good trainers are found and friends who have trainers know how to get trainers. If this is not easy to understand, then take it this way; by asking colleagues who have personal trainers or by inquiring from people you know are trainers, even if they are already engaged can help you get a personal trainer with ease.
The other easy way is to choose a trainer from friends you train with. If you go to the gym or train at a local play ground or possibly you jog around a certain country lane, you will most likely see other people exercising. Now, we must first note that your trainer does not have to be a professional but also two blind men can not lead each other. Therefore, if you are choosing a trainer among colleagues, select one who is at least better than you, that is to say, one who will have something new to teach you. Alternatively, you can read the local directory for a least of professional trainers.
All these will save you the risk of getting unscrupulous trainers or at the very worst one who will not even solve your problems. This brings to question the criteria for selecting a personal trainer;
Selecting a personal trainer from the many
There is an East African saying that you can only say women are many when one of them is yours. With personal trainers, it is undisputable that they are many but how do you choose the right one from the many? The criteria may be different from person to person but generally, a personal trainer should be selected on the basis of the following;
The cost of providing the service; you should select a personal trainer who will charge you an affordable fee for the service he or she provides. This is of course relative to each person’s financial ability but the gist of the matter is that you should easily afford your fitness training costs. In addition to this, the trainer should have the necessary expertise to provide excellent fitness training services. You do not need cheap things which will not give any value!
Also to consider is the dedication and concern the trainer has for your fitness; having a doctor who does not care about your life is worse than having no doctor. Your fitness trainer should be one who is self-driven to see you fit all the time. Your fitness should be the mutual goal, both for you and the trainer. You can test this through the time they invest in your training and the way they talk about your fitness. A good trainer should have a positive attitude towards the trainee’s fitness.
Therefore, do not be trapped by the passage of time. Get a personal trainer today! |
