Why You Can't Hire Just Any Personal Trainer

People with personal training certifications are a dime a dozen. The best trainers should serve as a motivator, an educator, and a source of accountability. So how do you know if your personal trainer for a lack of a better term, "sucks"? Here are a few signs to look for:

1. They Don’t Educate You

Your personal trainer sucks if they don’t try to teach you how to do things for yourself. If they don’t recommend books or blogs, or simply don’t teach you why you’re doing what you’re doing, you’re wasting your time.

2. It All Seems a Bit ‘On the Fly’

Does your trainer seem to do everything a little bit off the cuff? No session plan, no layout and no idea what they’re doing today? Do they "umm" and "ahh" about what exercise to choose, and become a little flustered?

3. There Is No Emphasis on Nutrition

If your personal trainer doesn’t put any focus on nutrition, THEY SUCK. “I train so I can eat,” is not the answer you’re looking for when you’re trying to get results.

As the saying goes, "You get what you pay for" - this definitely applies to personal training. Don't expect world class results from trainers charging dirt cheap prices.
