The 5 Top Ways To Pick The Right Exercise Trainer
Dan Boyle
You're about to learn how to avoid the killer mistake of spending a week in an exercise trainers underworld.
Take this guy who used to workout in my gym. For a good solid 3 weeks he and a trainer would workout, for what I could tell, at least two times a week. Pretty expensive to say the least.
Besides the fact that this trainer made this poor guy perform the worst routines, he would shout at him while he did the work. Get this… during one workout day, he made the guy do up to 10 sets of bench press and incline bench press. It ended up being 45 minutes of bench press. Can you say overkill?
So to make sure you don't have to experience anything like this debacle, I'm going to share the top 5 ways to pick a good exercise trainer.
Number 1: Know Your Goals
If you want to pick the best personal trainer, you have to first know what you want to achieve and what your capable of committing to.
For example, if you want to do yoga, you'll obviously seek out a yoga instructor. If you want to save money and still get a decent workout, you should look to the classes most gyms offer.
If you want to really get in shape and you can commit to weight training, you need to look for a trainer that that is an expert in weight training.
The bottom line is… you need to know what you want and how hard you're willing to work to get it. Don't be ashamed if you just want to lose a little weight… a fitness lifestyle is not for everybody.
Number 2: Know Your Long Term Plans
It's important to know whether or not you plan to make fitness a lifelong lifestyle for yourself. This is important because if you're just trying to lose 10 pounds for the summer or for a date, then you probably don't even need a trainer.
However, if your goals are aligned with making fitness a lifelong journey, then your options open up. You need to find the type of training you want to make your fundamental training… what you'll practice the most.
You can always deviate and learn other things. For example, I am huge into weight training, but I also practice yoga (although I am terrible at it).
Number 3: Know The Type of Body You Want
You may think I'm crazy because this sounds a lot like working with your goals. Yes, they are very much alike, but different at the same time.
Do you want to have a tight body with muscular lines? Do you want to be a bodybuilder? Do you just want to lose a little weight and keep fitness a hobby?
The answers to these will directly affect the type of trainer you want. Not to mention the answers will affect your goals. If you can't tell what type of fitness a trainer is an expert in… interview them.
Number 4: Know Your Outside Activities

I hope that you have some outside activities besides just going to the gym. Even if you don't it's real important to take into account what you do for your job.
If you work n very active job that demands a lot of your body, you may want to stick to weight training. In that case you need to find the right exercise trainer who is capable of designing programs that will suit you.
If your work is extremely stressful, you may want to take up yoga. This will help you distress and take control of your breathing and mind.
If you play sports, make sure you use the form of training that will help you the most. This is not to say that you should stick to just one type of training… but there will be one that will benefit you the most.
Number 5: Know You Have To Commit To Nutrition
If you're going to hire and use the services of an exercise trainer… you better commit to your nutrition too. That way you will actually see the results you really want to see.
There is nothing more demoralizing to not only you, but your trainer too, than to see results not come because your eating habits are terrible. If you're going to spend money to get in shape then use that to motivate you to make it work.
Once these become habits, your entire life is going to change. It you are interested in making weight training, not bodybuilding, part of your fitness lifestyle, I highly encourage you to ask any questions underneath the video above.
