Personal trainers might not be qualified
When you pay a personal trainer to guide you through your workouts, you naturally assume that they know what they’re talking about. Sadly that might not be the case. The number of personal trainers is expected to have risen by 24% between 2010 and 2020, and a large amount of that growth is down to the loose regulations it takes to become one. According to fitness firm CEO Gregory Florez, many personal trainers win potential clients over with their smiles and sales-talk, rather than knowledge of fitness. In fact, some personal trainer qualifications are so easy to achieve that they simply require paying a one off fee and completing an online test. Before you take a single session with a personal trainer, have a long chat with them to get a feel for their level of knowledge and experience.
