Finding a Personal TrainerFinding a Personal Trainer - Advice on how and where to find your perfect trainer along with a bio's of our trainers. The Bath & Racquet Fitness Club offers personal trainers just like most health clubs. Recently you can also find personal trainers at single purpose small shops. And then there are the independent personal trainers with no affiliation that tend to do home visits. Some things to ask a trainer, do they have enough and appropriate insurance in case you get injured. Will they have enough different equipment and facilities to vary your exercise routines? Are they available the hours you need? I would not worry about the certification organization other than to ask is it a national organization not a local certification. On a journey of finding a personal trainer I would want a trainer I liked. Having a face to face conversation should be enough to evaluate whether their personality would be a match. From there I would want a trial training session to see if your work out expectations meshed, for example will they push you hard enough or give you enough rest in between exercises. If you have any reservation try a different trainer to see if their style fits yours better. Finding a personal trainer is a lot like finding a doctor you like, it takes time and patience.
