If you’ve been with a trainer long enough you probably realize we’re not just here to boss you around and count reps. And our jobs span way beyond the 30 minutes you spend with us in the gym. As trainers, it’s our job to help support you in any way we can, and that extends far beyond the gym. But are you truly using your trainer to their full potential if you’re not asking the right questions? Here are 5 things you didn’t know you could ask your trainer:
Ask for Personalized Nutrition Guidance:
While you may know that trainers are adept at designing workout routines, not everyone realizes they can also provide valuable insights into nutrition. Don’t hesitate to ask them to help you figure out how many calories and macronutrients you need to support your fitness goals. While you can use online calculators, many of them are DRAMATICALLY off. We’ll be able to give you much more realistic and personalized recommendations!
“What are your thoughts about…?”
Ever come across a fitness article or a trend online that left you scratching your head, wondering if it’s fact or B.S? Don’t hesitate to ask your trainer! Our job as health and fitness experts is to help debunk the garbage and simplify the science.
Ask For a Different Exercise:
If a particular exercise isn’t jiving with you, let us know! We can tweak things to suit your comfort and still get you those gains without any unnecessary discomfort. Your body, your rules – we’re just here to guide you on the path to fitness success.
Ask for Accountability Check-ins
Beyond the gym, your trainer can play a crucial role in keeping you accountable for your fitness journey. You can request regular check-ins where they review your progress, ask them to inquire about whether you’ve completed your homework, and discuss your adherence to your diet plan. This ongoing support system will not only help you stay on track and keep you motivated!
One of the most important things to remember when working with a trainer is there are no such thing as stupid questions! You should never be afraid to ask us for help, it’s what we do best.
