6 Things You Never Thought to Ask Your Personal Trainer

By  08:25  No comments

Thinking about working out with a personal trainer? We partnered with C9 Champion® for questions you should take the time to go over with your workout motivator.

Making the decision to work with a personal trainer should be about the goals you want to accomplish, which might leave you feeling a bit selfish, but it's so important to have your voice heard when meeting with potential trainers. You're going to be spending some quality (and sweaty) time together, so run through a few questions you might not think to ask. While learning more about your future workout buddy, you might discover a few things about your fitness goals too.

  1. Why are you a personal trainer? You don't have to be blunt and toss out this question first thing, but it's a smart question to weave into your conversation. Learning how and why your trainer became certified can help create a bond - and it provides legitimate information about background and training.
  2. What's your fitness philosophy? If you're more easygoing and your potential trainer is big on pushing the limits, you might not be the right fit. But even if your personalities are different, it doesn't mean you shouldn't consider working together. Go with your gut, and you'll find the right match.
  3. Are you CPR/AED certified? You never know when an emergency might happen, which makes knowing if your trainer is up to date on CPR/AED training a comfort. And while you're on the subject, it's an opening to ask about other certifications or accomplishments your trainer is proud of, which provides the opportunity to share shining accomplishments.
  4. What's the longest you've worked with a client? It's good to know if your personal trainer has long-term regulars, which proves they're dedicated to your success. This is also a chance to inquire if she's ever had to break up with a client and why. It's always good to hear both sides.
  5. Are you a nutritionist? Many trainers toss out dietary advice, but if they aren't a certified nutritionist, all those suggestions are annoying. Let your trainer know up front if you're into dietary advice. This way you'll avoid uncomfortable conversation in the future.
  6. What's your honest opinion? After taking a few moments to size up your future professional trainer, ask about her feelings about your goals. Are you being realistic? Maybe there are a few key things you're missing when thinking about reaching your workout expectations. And if you aren't satisfied with answers, it might be a sign you aren't a match.
