How would you...

[superqt4u2nv]

approach a pro if you saw one? There is a pro that also trainis at one of the gyms I go to. I have seen and thought dam she looks good. Even seen her doing real squats. Anyways I picked up a mag this month and I realized why the cover model looked so familer it is HER! I was thinking of maybe getting a few training sessions from her but I want to talk to her a bit first. How would you approach her?

Maybe next time she’s in notice what she's training. If it's not too soon for you to train that same body part - train it. Like if she’s training chest, you do it too & ask her for a spot - talk to her & sort of follow her routine. Tell her 'you look familiar......' when she tells you who she is see if she minds if you meet up with her sometime.....I don't know, but that might be an idea

Ever time I have seen her she trains with her BF I also have a training partner ... so that wont work but a good suggestion.

Well, I think how you should aproach her depends on what your interest is.

Are you interested in exchanging diet/training lingo? Just small talk? Maybe being friends?

I am interested in her input on diet and training. I want to find out what sort of approach she takes with things before I actually pay for some sessions.

I may have missed it, but is she a personal trainer? If not, most people i've spoken with are happy to talk about their diet and training philosophies.

If she is a trainer though, I can see your predicament -- she has to make money, and can't give it all away through small talk, or she would have no business to run.

First, I would do some research on her - you have her name, so look up on the internet some info about her. If she has a website, it shuld say if she does training, competition prep, nutrition consultations.

Next time you see her, wait until she is taking a water break / rest and .....
You: "I know you are training, so I don't want to take up your time, but I wanted to tell you I saw you on the cover of XYZ, you looked fantastic."
Her: "Thank you"
You: "My name is Dxxxx. I find you very inspiring, as my future goals are to compete in figure (right?) this year. Do you do any training or consultations?" (you might already know this answer, but doesn't hurt to ask)
Her: "Yes I do"
You: "Would you mind if I called / emailed you to try to set something up?"
Her: "sure, here is my number / email" (hopefully at this point, you can say, oh, I saw your website, I can contact you through that)
You "Thank you, I'll let you get back to training"

Yeah she is a trainer. Even at here level there is a lot of BS with trainers I want someone that is serious and will give me REAL in put on contest prep.

Good post daisy_girl.

As for knowing her approach, again, if she has a website, you can get a feel for her there.

Dam your good I did look up her website has a little info on there and there is contact info on there as well. Yeah I think that should work I really hate bugging people when they work out but I guess in between sets is ok. She has to have had this happed before once I realized WHO she was I recalled how many covers I had actually seen her on.
