Common Questions
How do I choose a personal trainer?
When you interview a prospective fitness trainer or instructor, ask if they are currently certified, by what organization and whether their certification is accredited by the NCCA or equivalent national organization. A solid certification is certainly not the only factor in choosing a trainer. Education/training, experience, talent, reputation and compatibility count, too. But an accredited certification removes a lot of guesswork about basic qualifications, making it a good place to start.

Warning Flags to watch out for:

  • Ignores or dismisses your questions
  • Works you so hard you're in pain for days. Soreness is normal, but you should still be able to get out of bed
  • Neglects any part of a complete program or recommends a level of training that's too hard for you
  • Recommends questionable supplements or herbs. Always talk to your doctor before taking anything!
  • Diagnoses injuries or illnesses instead of referring you to a doctor
  • Interrupts your session to talk to friends or take phone calls (unless it's an emergency or can't be avoided)
  • Doesn't return phone calls or emails
