STARS: Choosing a Workout Instructor/Trainer

This is to continue on last week's post.

We now want to focus on the person or persons that can help you reach your summertime goals, as well as the remainder of the year. Often this is an instructor or a trainer.  Often they are one in the same but the process is similar.

Find out what style of teaching you like and the intensity level you want. If it's HIIT or body pump/RIP, then go with someone that specializes there for example. Try out some classes, go off of recommendations and reviews, see results.

Also, see the instructor's style. How hard do they drive the class? Do they greet you and notice they are there? How is the music selection? Everyone learns differently, and often you need to see for yourself.

Next, see how flexible your schedule/wallet is with the instructor/trainer. This is often the most difficult process. There are several classes and trainers I want to work with, but scheduling conflicts interfere.

Finally, see who you are getting the best results from after about two months and you may have an instructor that can take you to greater heights.

Instructors can be the greatest people in our fitness journey or the worst.  Obviously one would want the former.
