Anyone can call herself a personal trainer
but not everyone can perform the important functions of a trainer.
You want to choose a personal trainer with an educational background
in fitness that holds a certification from a well-respected fitness
organization like The American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM),
American Council on Exercise (ACE), The National Association of
Sports Medicine (NASM) or The National Strength and Conditioning
Association (NSCA). Here are some questions you might want to ask
before deciding on a personal trainer:
- What is your exercise and educational background?
- Are you certified by a nationally recognized organization?
-
Are you a member of any of the aforementioned
professional associations?
- Are you certified in CPR and first aid?
- Can you provide me with client references?
- How do you work with clients with goal setting?
- How do you chart progress?
-
Do you require a physician’s release form?
Will you update my medical history?
-
How much do you charge per session? What are
your billing and cancellation policies?
