Choose a trainer for the goal
A trainer can specialize in strength, weight loss, muscle building, conditioning, women fitness or sports performance. Match the trainer profile to the result you are trying to achieve.
Understand the session format
Ask whether sessions are in person, online or hybrid, how long they last and what happens between sessions. Clarify how programs are updated and how progress is reviewed.
Compare pricing without comparing unlike packages
Session price alone does not explain the full value. Look at session duration, package size, communication support, program design and whether assessments are included.
