Your trainer never looks at their phone during a session. Any coach that texts, browses the web, or takes calls (unless it’s an emergency) while working with you is not worth your time. Their attention should be placed squarely upon you during every rep of every set, just as a surgeon would be on a patient while operating. Your trainer knows exactly how to motivate you. If your trainer always seems to know exactly what to say and how to say it when the going gets tough, you probably have found a real gem. Your trainer doesn’t just count reps, but keeps a close eye on your technique. So if your trainer is watching you closely, constantly stressing proper form, and reminding you to stretch and squeeze, you know he or she is interested in getting you maximum results. Your trainer demonstrates each exercise and explains exactly which muscles are affected. If your trainer is getting their hands dirty and leading by example, you can definitely check off another box on the “pros” list. Your trainer asks you relevant questions throughout the workout. Feedback from a client is essential to any trainer worth his or her salt. Your trainer is punctual and engaged entirely with you from beginning to end of every workout. So, if your trainer is always ready for you upon your arrival and gives you their full attention and focus from the first to last rep, you may have found the perfect trainer.
