What to expect from your Personal Trainer

• All trainers must be qualified and accredited by THETA.
• A Personal Trainer has the responsibility of effectively helping a client achieve his or her personal fitness and health goals and to layout realistic but challenging goals.
• A Personal Trainer must be a motivator, have a great deal of patience, and make sure that the rapport between client and trainer remains on a positive level. The trainer must be able to motivate even the most mundane exerciser, as there are times when a client may not want to continue training, but a good trainer has to know how to keep the client going.
• A trainer has to ensure safe, effective exercise, equipment use. Also have the ability to change the exercise to suit the clients goals, needs, fitness and strength.
• A good trainer will have empathy, and also knows how to sympathize with the client.
• An effective Personal Trainer keeps well documented data detailing the client's progress toward the goal and a type of training with programmed training sessions for that individual.
• The trainer has all information pertaining to the client, including height, weight, measurements, and medical history.
• A trainer knows how to adjust to a client's specific needs and should know how to make a detailed fitness plan so that the client can achieve his or her goals safely and effectively.
• A Personal Trainer keeps a tight schedule, primarily because wasted time is unproductive, but sometimes the work requires the trainer to be flexible according to the customer's desire, needs and sense of mood and stress level on the day.
• A trainer must be able to advise and teach their clients the healthy eating guidelines and what is a “fad” diet and what’s a good eating plan.
• As your trainer I can either train indoors at a fitness club, or have a change of environment and take the workout outdoors.
