#1 Their head is bigger than their arm!
(As Donald Trump would say - You're Fired!)
I want you to have a super smart trainer with an egghead and huge brain - YOU should too!
A trainer that is book smart, up on the latest research, and can break concepts down for you in a digestible & practical way.
Three things I look for in trainers I hire are:
1. Degrees
- Do they have a 4 year degree in health, exercise science, nutrition or anything related?
2. Certifications
- Is it current or expired?
- When did they originally get certified?
- Do they have a variety of different certifications (flexibility, spinning, Pilates, etc.)
- Do they have plans for pursuing other certifications?
3. Continuing Education
- Does their place of work have a continuing educational platform where they are always learning, growing, and being evaluated?
- Do they regularly attend professional conferences?
- Are they members of fitness and personal training organizations?
- Do they read and research the most up-to-date information available?
- Do they have subscriptions to industry journals and newsletters?
Come back tomorrow for #2!
