Often, it is the misconceived notions on personal trainers that make training sales high and as with anything, what the eyes can see often speaks the loudest. The fact is that what you see as a potential client can make you forget the important things to consider when hiring a personal trainer. However, you are smarter than this. The following are what most people mistakenly take into account when searching for a trainer.
Six-Pack Abs
Many people think that a trainer must possess the body that his client wants to have to be deemed worthy of the investment. But exercise is a science and the individual you are hiring should possess good knowledge. Sure, trainers who do not try to follow a healthy lifestyle including eating and personal training should not be doing his job and are not role models to clients. However, discounting a trainer who has a firm schooling background, years of experience, a good client-based results and a great track record is not fair. Let’s face it, a good body does not always mean a good trainer.
Most Advanced Exercises
Innovative equipment that people see on infomercials tend to prove false to its claims since practicing the conventional, essential and fundamental movement patters can trump everything if you are aimed at toning up, improving cardio, getting more conditioned, bulking up, looking better, leaning out or improving sports performance.
Certainly, trainers will not get you faster results. Exercise and fitness tools are just used as tools. Seeing a personal trainer whose approach is unique signifies sure-fire results and a sound knowledge base.
Program Design
A lot of commercial gyms are proud of their trainers following a strict protocol which involves full-scale tracking on the progress periodization, weight lifted, goals and diagnostics of each client. As a result, every trainer follows their clients with a pen and paper, clipboard and records each set, rep numbers and the way this moves into the applicable periodization phase.
But, following a pre-arranged programming becomes pointless if the consistency of the client is off or if he has very low frequency. As much as trainers hold their clients accountable, they cannot control their outside lives. Being able to hold yourself accountable for going to the gym three times every week and working with your trainer is important and puts a purposed in your investment.
Gets Quick Results
Fitness success stories shown in the television make people think that they can expect results at a much faster rate than they have to be. Often these stories are included in new product promotions. But think about, losing 60 pounds in eight weeks with a training system sounds too good to be true. Likewise, training those who lose some pounds in a short time might be recommended a dietary plan or some supplements which were not sustainable for the long term. This shall pass and the effect will knock at your door. An average individual should be able to lose two pounds every week. This is a dependable and safe to count on.
