Value of a Fitness Consultation

When it comes to health and fitness, there are a myriad of workout styles and different advice to follow. Sometimes, it is hard to distinguish where to begin! This is where you can take advantage of the benefits of a fitness trainer. It all starts with a fitness training consultation. The value of a fitness consultation is when you learn and gain an understand about personal training options that will specifically work for you to be able to achieve your health and fitness goals.  Most fitness centers give a free 60-minute fitness consultation. 

A worthy fitness consultation should not be based on a budget although the cost of a personal trainer plays a factor in how much someone invests in a fitness program.  The cost should not determine your fitness program design and/or recommendation, otherwise, that would be a disservice.

Before you start working out with a fitness trainer, it is important to meet the trainer to discuss your needs and goal. It allows the trainer to assess your needs from a workout regime, so they will be able to design the right workouts for you. It is a very important step to start getting a customized personal training experience.

A fitness training consultation also allows you, as the consumer, to get to know the fitness trainer, ask questions, and get comfortable in the fitness setting.  The consultation usually starts with introductions and a few questions between you and your trainer. This is where you can ask questions and outline your goals for your fitness sessions. Next, the trainer may take a few measurements or tests to help you track your progress over time.

Once you have finished the initial stages of your consultation, you may spend some time in the fitness studio. Your personal trainer may have you work on a few machines and gauge your fitness level. It is a good idea to wear comfortable workout clothing to your appointment for this reason.

Once you have followed these steps, you will be ready to start your personal training sessions! Contact me to learn more about personal training options that will work for you.
