Personal trainers

Finding the right trainer is the key and some of that is based on there personal skills and you will only get to find this by talking to them.

Some useful pointers to engaging with a trainer:

• Decide on why you want a trainer. Is it for fitness; toning; weight gain; weight loss or even a sports injury?
• Decide on your budget - trainers range from ?15 - ?50+ per session (normally 1 hour) largely dependent upon their experience and how busy they are.
• Once you have the numbers of the trainers, call them and discuss your needs and wishes and then listen to what they say. Remember you are paying them so if you don't think you'd like the way they propose to train you, just say you will get back to them.
• Once you have decided upon the trainer you would like to see, always meet in a public place or in a Gym reception and ask to see their credentials and insurance documents. Any good trainer will have no problem with this.
• If you are unsure about anything question them - please do not be afraid to ask them anything - they are used to it.
