Who is a Personal Trainer?

A personal trainer is a certified professional who educates, motivates and trains people one-on-one or in a group on physical fitness. They have undergone hundreds of hours of professional health training in a recognized health training institute. Personal trainers should not be confused with athletic trainers. Personal trainers develop training or work out routines for the clients and work with them. Not only monitoring and guiding the clients while training, a personal trainer will advise clients on the right diet that should be taken. The whole package will ensure that the client increases their sense of well-being, improve muscle tone, reduce body fat and achieve weight loss. There are also psychological benefits with improved self-image and self esteem. In Australia, a good personal trainer holds a minimum of Certificate III or IV in Fitness, a current First Aid Certificate and the relevant Insurance. Always ask before you sign up with them.

How much will it cost?

A personal trainer will typically charge the client by the hour ranging from $70-$100 or more depending on the type of routine/exercise. The training normally takes place in a gym or fitness centre where there is equipment to support your training needs. The price that you pay will include the personal trainer service and the cost of using the gym or fitness facilities. However, you do need to clarify with the personal trainer before you start the training because even though most personal trainers normally work for the gym or fitness centre, there are some free lance personal trainers that aren’t. Gym or fitness centers normally offer bulk personal training passes at a discounted price. Do check out their offers from time to time. While some personal trainers work with only one client each session, others also teach groups of clients. If you have few mates who are in the quest of achieving the same goal as you, why not sign up for group training. This could be more fun and each of you saves dollars each month.

There are thousands of professionals available to meet a variety of budgets and fitness needs. Just let them know your goal and what you want to achieve. They’ll train and manage the program for you!
