#5 What Advice Would You Give To A Person Who Is Now Establishing A Personal Training Business? If you are going to be the 'personal trainer' then actually have an interest in fitness & people and not just money. If you are setting up a business to provide personal trainers then look beyond the type of certification they possess and see if they actually know what they are talking about and can implement a solid workout routine for any client who may walk through your doors.
#6 What Is The Most Rewarding Aspect Of The Job? Seeing people achive their goals.
#7 What Is The Least Favorite Aspect Of Your Job? People who are not committed.
#8 What Would You Change About Your Job If You Could? Why? Remove all televisions from the gym. Lifting the remote control to change the channel is not a lateral raise.
#9what Type Of Clients Do You Prefer To Work With? Why? Anyone with a realistic goal and a positive outlook.
# 10 How Do You Reduce Liability? Motivate clients to their abilities and not my own.
#11 What Is Your Client Evaluation Process? Thorough nutritional and fitness evaluation repeated at 4 week stage.
