Choosing a personal trainer for your gym is an important step towards achieving the desired result. Many, coming to the "simulator" for the first time, do not have the slightest idea of what needs to be done, why and in what order. Therefore, the help of a qualified trainer is very important, especially at the initial stage of training.
When choosing a personal trainer, you should pay attention to a number of fundamentally important features:
1. Availability of education and completion of professional training courses.
Perhaps it is more logical to trust a professional in his field who has been trained and is able to organize the training process, motivate his wards, monitor health, etc.
2. Having a sports career or sports experience.
Knowing and understanding are two different things. Everyone can know what a carbohydrate deficiency is on drying, but only those who have gone through it can understand that this can be done. Theoretically, everyone can know what muscle pain after training is, but again the one who felt it will understand. It is very important that the person who will be working with you has a complete understanding of how you feel when doing exercises, during rest, etc. This connection will help your coach to build a more competent training process.
3. "Services to the Fatherland".
It is very pleasant to realize that you are in the hands of the person who has already brought up dozens of masters of sports or candidates, "discharges", world champions, country, city, etc. Such indicators, of course, will speak of the colossal experience of coaching.
4. The appearance of the coach (personal example).
Personal example is one of the most important methods of educational work. It is important to understand that the "fat nutritionist", "toothless dentist" and "pimply beautician" can theoretically be good specialists, but the likelihood of this is rather small. So with a trainer, it is unreasonable to ask to build muscle volume to someone who does not give the impression of a physically developed person.
5. The age of the coach.
It is likely that a coach at the age of 40 will be more competent than his 20-year-old colleague.
These are not all the criteria that should be followed when choosing a personal trainer. A good addition would be the presence of positive reviews and his photo on the board of the coaching staff of the sports club. You can also see reviews about the work of this trainer, flip through his "instu" or "VK" page.
