Being in the fitness industry for 13yrs
I can safely say I have trained a range of individuals from all walks of life.
From beginners, to clients that have been training for years by themselves and then starting with me as their Personal trainer!
The fitness industry is a cut throat industry!
Loads of online trainers pushing out content and fancy programs!
It can be really scary as a potential client to choose the right trainer.
If you are that person that is looking for a trainer.
Please understand that the fancier the program is, is not necessarily the better program for you!
We tend forget the basics and mentor our clients on what the correct movement patterns are instead we sell complex interesting programs/ sessions so we don’t ‘get bored’ clients’.
There will be programs that are basic and straight forward these programs will sometimes have more benefit to your clients then fancy programs!
Especially if you have never worked with the client in person.
We need to asses the clients ability from the ground up.
Remember we are there to help our clients become competent in there own training!
This starts with a solid foundation of how the body works with a straight forward program/ session!
My advice to all future people looking for a trainer. Book a session with a trainer (in person) before taking on a ‘online trainer’
Online training vs in person training, there is a difference!
