How to Choose a Good Personal Trainer To Ensure Bodybuilding Gains
Friday September 1, 2006
Personal training is becoming a hot profession these days. As a matter of fact, personal training is the fastest growing field in the health and fitness industry! So it is a fair assumption that if you go to a gym, there will be at least one personal trainer offering his or her services to new bodybuilding and fitness enthusiasts.
Now, if you are completely new to weight training and would feel more comfortable with hiring a trainer to guide you through the break in period of your bodybuilding journey, then you will be faced with the task of choosing the right trainer. It is crucial to make the right choice in this situation as the wrong person will end up giving you the wrong advice; advice that at best yields no bodybuilding results, which in turn gets you discouraged, and at worst gets you injured.
In my latest article on How to Choose a Good Personal Trainer, I cover this topic and provide guidelines regarding the qualities that you should be looking for on a trainer.

You are right on the money with the fact that choosing a personal trainer is key. Also, make sure your personal trainer LOOKS like an athlete. I have been to many fitness clubs lately and it seems every tom, dick, and mary (:-)) is a personal trainer.
I’ve had similar experience to Ryan in terms of the types of people purporting to be personal trainers. Hunter H. Cashdollar
I agree with you selecting a personal trainer is would never appreciate my performance and that was not very encouraging ,eventually i lost interest.I think besides the fitness aspect of a trainer you should be able to connect with your trainer and be comfortable wit him/her.
