Three Questions to Ask Potential Personal Trainers

While most personal trainers have similar backgrounds and knowledge, not every trainer is the best fit for you and your goals. Below are several questions to ask your trainer candidate to help ensure you get the right one.

What do you specialize in?
Consider your fitness goals. For instance, if you are seeking a personal trainer with the purpose of losing weight after giving birth, you want someone who specializes in post-natal fitness, not someone who primarily helps men get into bodybuilding.

What’s your training personality?
It’s not impolite to ask personal trainers about their “training personality,” even if you click with them during a one-on-one interview. This prevents you from getting a trainer who seems nice, but suddenly becomes an angry drill sergeant once training begins.

What questions do you have for me?
To ensure they provide you with the best attention and care, personal trainers should always inquire about your general health and medical history. This includes asking about your diet, current medications or conditions, and major joint issues. Knowing this information enables your trainer to tailor your workout regimen to best fit your goals and capabilities.
