5 Things To Look For In An Online Fitness Trainer Near Me

Are you looking to get in shape, lose weight, decrease pain, and increase mobility? Any one of those things alone can be incredibly overwhelming. That’s why many people choose to hire a personal trainer. 

And let me tell you…that is a fabulous idea!

Personal trainers have the knowledge and experience to guide you along the path to accomplishing your goals. Keep reading to learn what to keep an eye out for when looking for online fitness trainers near me.

1. They Are Certified

I don’t think there’s been one Peak Physique blog where we haven’t told you to make sure your trainer is certified. Fitness trainers, whether online or in-person, need to be certified!

Make sure they’re certified by asking to see their certification or ask them about their training.

2. Plenty Of Experience

Your trainer should have experience training people like you before you start with them. If you’re injured, your trainer should be experienced with working around your injury to make sure you don’t get hurt more. 

When looking for a trainer see what type of clients they typically work with. If you’re on the older side you want a trainer who’s used to working with people your age. Training someone who’s 18 is much different than training someone who’s 40.

If you’re nervous about the trainer at all ask to talk to some of their clients. And always ask as many questions as you have – you need to be comfortable with your trainer, so do what you need to do to build your confidence.

3. A Commitment To Fitness

Your trainer should have a personal commitment to fitness and health. All of our trainers at Peak Physique genuinely enjoy working out and love helping people with their fitness goals.

This also goes beyond just working out. Your trainer should be willing to talk to you about how your diet affects your workout goals. We believe in eating right and helping our clients eat right as well so they can reach their goals.

4. They Are Honest

Nothing ruins trust quicker than lying. If you feel your trainer isn’t being honest with you, RUN!

Your trainer should be realistic about timelines and shouldn’t push ‘lose weight quick’ programs. These programs can be extremely unhealthy and dangerous. 

Be sure to have open conversations with your trainer so you know you can trust them and they’re being honest.

5. Flexible Program

We think one of the most important aspects your trainer can offer is the ability to have a flexible program. Especially during these uncertain times, you want to make sure you can stick with a program. At Peak Physique, we offer a hybrid online and in-person training program.

We also offer 100% remote training so you can work out in the comfort and safety of your home. You don’t need a bunch of expensive equipment to workout at home either. With just a few pieces of equipment, you can get a full-body workout at home. 

6. They Care About You

Some people may not think this is important, but it absolutely is! We like to create a gym family here at Peak Physique, so you’re supported both during your workout and in your personal life. 

People always do better with a supportive community, and that’s what we strive to create.

Now that you know what to look for in a fitness trainer near you, learn why Peak Physique is the right choice whether you’re near or far.

The Peak Physique Difference

Personal trainers can have very drastic differences, as professionals in any field often do, therefore choosing the right one can be tricky. At Peak Physique Fitness we suggest meeting with, either in person or over zoom, a prospective trainer before hiring him/her. 

In fact, in our studio, we offer a free consultation and a free one-hour workout. We are committed to making sure our clients believe that we are the right choice for them. Making a change in regards to health and fitness is not an overnight project and will require a time commitment. 

At Peak Physique Fitness we require at least a 12-week commitment when we accept a new client. No matter what your goals it is highly unlikely that they will not be accomplished in a week or two. Making true significant change is a mental, emotional, and physical journey as well as a time investment.  

As mentioned there are many different types of personal trainers and the type usually depends on the type of clients they train. In general, clients are either performance-based, physique based, or fitness based. 

Trainers can focus on athletics, recovery, weight loss, bodybuilding, and so on. For example, if you are a client and you’re looking to reduce lower back pain and lose a few pounds, you would fall into the fitness client category, and would most likely not be looking for a trainer that specializes in physique clients and trains predominantly bodybuilders. It just wouldn’t make sense.
