When choosing your personal fitness coach more than just their credentials need to be taken into consideration. Education alone does not make an effective leader under any circumstances and fitness is no different. First ask yourself, is this a person I can trust with my fitness goals? What I'm talking about is listening to that little voice in your head that sends up red flags when the situation calls for it. If in your gut you feel that the Fitness Professional in front of you can deliver the results you want then you are on the right track.

A trainer must must walk the walk.  Simply put, how can your trainer lead you down a path that they've never traveled? Fitness is a way of life not a hobby or job.

Finally, and most importantly, your Fitness Professional must possess the ability to listen. They must be able to hear all you believe you are and all that you desire to be and take that information to implement the best strategy to help you achieve your goals.
