Welcome to the Your Local PT. We also want to make sure that you’re really comfortable with your decision to hire a trainer. It can be daunting knowing where to start, because there are so many different personal trainers out there. We’d like to help you find the perfect trainer for you by recommending some essential qualities and features to look for, which will ensure you’re getting the best service, in a safe and healthy environment, and achieving your fitness and weight loss goals quickly and easily.
The fact that you’re here means that you’re looking for a great personal trainer to help create a fitter, healthier, happier you. We’re really pleased you’ve found your way to our site, and we want to show you how passionate we are about making what often seems impossible, very possible and easy for you – losing weight quickly and easily, and keeping it off.
To help you do this we’ve put together the definitive 10 Point Checklist For Finding The Perfect Personal Trainer:
1. Qualifications And Experience
Your personal trainer should as a minimum hold a Certificate IV in Fitness. Here at Your Local PT we take a lot of pride in constantly upskilling our personal trainers and have a wide range of additional qualifications which ensure we keep bringing maximum value for our clients.
2. References/Testimonials
Great personal trainers have great references and testimonials from their clients. It’s a sign that their clients are getting the best possible service and results from their training. We encourage feedback so we can continuously improve our service, and you can see a selection of our testimonials from very happy clients here
3. Cost vs. Value It’s good to shop around and get an idea of what trainers in your area actually cost, so that you know the market rate. It’s also important to make sure that as well as cost you also clearly see the value in your investment. The team at Your Local PT believe in exceeding your expectations every time you train with us and adding value through extra services such as nutritional advice, Thump Boxing classes, 24/7 email and phone support and more. We also offer a 110% money back guarantee (more on that in a bit!)
4. Guarantees
5. Availability
To give yourself the best chance of achieving your fitness goals, you need to be able to train at times that are convenient for you - and your personal trainer should ensure that your preferred times are secured for you to minimise stress and inconvenience. We understand how busy you are and will work closely with you to ensure your training fits comfortably in with your busy schedule. With Your Local PT, training is never a chore; it’s something that you can look forward to.
6. Services, Options and Personalised Service
Some personal trainers take a ‘one size fits all’ approach - but we understand that all people are 100% individual and unique, and as such deserve a completely personalised approach. Every client receives specific, individual service from the very start of their relationship with Your Local PT. We offer an extensive range of training services – which Mums and Prams, 6 week Bootcamp programs, Fitness for Mums, General fitness programs, Mobile One on One service, - but we’re also flexible and will make sure you get the programme that works best for you.
7. Realistic goals and promises
Beware of trainers who make unrealistic promises around your goals. All training and weight loss programmes need to be approached with care, and everyone reaches their goals at different speeds. Our commitment to getting you to your goals, and even to exceed them, means we carefully manage your expectations so that you are never disappointed and always feel that you are winning the race!
8. Progress Tracking
9. The 3 Ps
Your trainer should book in regular progress tracking sessions with you, and this shouldn’t just involve putting you on the scales. Our check-ins cover everything from weight and measurements to motivation, goal-setting, nutrition reviews plus whatever you individually need to keep hitting your targets week after week, month after month and feeling thrilled with your results.
Your personal trainer should at all times embody ‘The 3 Ps” - professionalism, punctuality and personality. It’s important that you feel comfortable with and trust your trainer, and that you feel at all times they are attentive to you, are a good listener, always on time, and always 100% professional. Here at Your Local PT we pride ourselves on ensuring The 3Ps run strong in everything we do, and our clients’ happy feedback lets us know that we’re on track.
10. Additional services e.g. nutrition advice
A good personal trainer knows that to live your best, healthiest life and really maximise your fitness results, you’re going to need assistance in other areas such as nutrition, supplements and equipment. We offer an extensive range of products as well as enjoying strong relationships with other local, complimentary businesses such as chiropractors and physiotherapists, so we can ensure all your fitness and health needs are taken care of.
When you find a personal trainer that can tick off all of the 10 points above - you’re onto a winner!
