Realizing you need a personal trainer can come unexpectedly. First, it’s easy to fall out of your healthy habits and daily fitness routine in the hustle and bustle of life, family, and work. One week turns off into two, and you start realizing the gap is widening between you and your fitness and nutrition goals. If you find yourself in this predicament, it’s time to take action and kick off your search for a “fitness trainer near me” either in person or virtually. A personal trainer can motivate you, help you get back into shape, and achieve your fitness goals to be the healthiest version of yourself. Also given the recent reports of public gyms being deemed unsafe due to COVID-19 concerns people are showing their interest in hiring online personal trainers and nutritionists for effective and comfortable fitness training at their homes virtually on popular apps like Zoom or Facebook Portal TV. 

Finding the right and most effective personal trainer can be a little daunting. There’s nothing worse than spending 6+ months  (and potentially thousands of dollars) with a trainer, only to step on the scale (or look in the mirror) and realize that you haven’t made the progress you were expecting.

So how do you go about researching and finding a personal trainer who will meet and hopefully exceed your expectations? Let’s take a look below:

• Diet is Key

First and foremost, we all must understand that your diet is 80-90% of the battle.

Even if you worked with a trainer for 60-90 minutes every day, that still leaves you with 22-23 hours per day to screw things up if you don’t eat properly! Your trainer should help you craft a nutritional strategy in addition to helping you build a workout strategy that aligns with your goals.

The Body Architects provide certified nutritionists and personal trainers to every client that will ensure you reach your goals by crafting a program that includes a proper diet and fitness regimen.

• Audition the Personal Trainer

If you have a chance to meet your chosen personal trainer(s) at work, it’s good to take note how they treat their clients and what rapport they have. It’s important for personal trainers to both push and motivate their clients, but in a manner that’s always positive. When you do start training with your chosen professional, if you aren’t happy with your choice then don’t be reluctant to walk away.

The Body Architects offer free consultations and 1 hour fitness assessments before you sign up with any of our packages. You can meet your trainer to ensure personalities gel. 

• Take Your Budget Into Account

As with most things in life, a good personal trainer will cost you. Prices may vary based on geographic location, gym affiliation (some trainers are affiliated with a gym, while others have an independent practice), and more. But a trainer can have a hefty price tag, especially if the trainer has many years of experience, great recommendations, and a proven track record

We’d say a normal high quality experience trainer can charge between $125 and $200 per session. The Body Architects offer experience packages that come with a set number of sessions, equipment, on-demand workout access via state of art apps, a customized nutrition plan, and much more in affordable installment payment options and longer term credit based options.

• Identify Their Area of Expertise

Every personal trainer has their own focus. Some trainers work with those struggling with joint pain, while others might work solely with children building bone density and improving balance. It’s important to find a program and trainer that works best for what you are seeking to accomplish. If a trainer's programming is built around HIIT workouts that leave you drenched in sweat and out of breath, that type of warrior-style mentality won’t cut it if you love doing yoga, or if you struggle with chronic knee pain.

The Body Architects have trainers that specialize in various techniques ranging from HIIT, boxing, athletic improvement, aerobic, and many other styles.
