Why you should consider values and personality when looking for a trainer.
Key Takeaways:
A number of people on Leanne’s team are personal trainers.
Leanne is a big fan of getting a personal trainer because there are so many benefits, such as sharing knowledge and holding you accountable.
Having a coach or trainer can be advantageous because they can help to inspire and push you.
The rise of social media has influenced the way we look at fitness, and we are more aesthetically driven than ever before.
Some trainers have aesthetics and knowledge, but we can’t assume that. It’s important to ask and find out before hiring them.
There are many ways in which a trainer could be qualified including reading, researching, learning from others, listening to podcasts, courses, and continuing education.
Communication is an important skill for a trainer to possess in order to do their job effectively.
Without the skill of being able to motivate others, a trainer's ability to teach and communicate won’t matter. They have to also be able to motivate you to do the work.
As a trainer, it’s important to practice what you teach and use your own lifestyle as a way to inspire others.
Fitness is about what it means to you, not just aesthetics or your weight.
Get on a call with your prospective trainer and ask them the tough questions so you can get to know their values.
Action Steps:
If you want to look for a personal trainer, consider:
1. Knowledge. A trainer can only be as good as what they know. Qualifications are important and so is experience and education.
