What we mean by the term 'lifestyle' is how any training fits in with the way you currently use your time and what your goals maybe (e.g. you have a goal to do some sailing or to simply walk to work everyday). Lifestyle management with the help of a personal trainer ensures that you can fit working out around your present activities and ensure it's right for you and for any new lifestyle you're aiming for.
We obviously recommend that you check the trainer has accredited qualifications and a current first aid certificate - a simple process if choosing a personal trainer from the NRPT. We ensure that all trainers are checked so you don't have to!
If you ask yourself the right questions at the beginning about you and your lifestyle, you'll save time, money and the hassle of looking for another trainer if it doesn't work out.
Step 1:
When do you want to train? Can you do the same time each week? and Will you be able to commit to training every week?
Step 2:
Where do you want to train? (at home, the local gym or the trainers gym?)
Step 3:
What do you want to train for (weight gain, loss, specific sports)? Do you have any injuries? What are your limitations?
Step 4:
What's your motivation like? Do you need help? Will you stick with it?
Step 5:
Do you want nutritional advice? Is overall lifestyle important to you?
If you can answer the above, then when you're looking for a trainer you'll know what to look out for and what questions to ask when you contact them.
