If you are looking for the best personal gym trainer in Ahmedabad, this complete guide will let you make the right choice and land up finding a good one.
Hey! My name is Payas Bharadwaj and I have been in Ahmedabad for quite a long time now.
The biggest problem which I have faced here is finding a personal gym trainer who is knowledgeable and has good certification.
Now you would have seen a lot of trainers who already have certifications, but does that mean they have enough skills to train you or help you reach your goals?
There are a lot of gyms in each corner of Ahmedabad which are actually good, well equipped and do have affordable packages.
But what I see they lack is someone, who can actually deliver results!
Now I am not talking about someone who takes drugs or steroids, WELL YOU KNOW THE CONSEQUENCES!
I am talking about gym trainers who can actually show you the right path which can help you to achieve your muscle building or fat loss goals and develop overall health and wellbeing.
BEING FIT & HEALTHY IS NOT A TREND OR FAD, IT’S A LIFESTYLE!
It takes time!
Now here are a few things you should ask a personal gym trainer before starting!
Qualifications
This is the first point which you should ask while hiring a personal gym trainer.
Is he qualified enough!
If you are doing a job or business the very first thing HR or your client ask is WHAT ARE YOUR QUALIFICATIONS?
Are you a perfect match for this position or particular task?
Always look for trainers who are at least 12th pass or a graduate and have a certification in nutrition or exercise science.
I think everybody should have completed their 12th from a good school so that they understand the basic science.
Because this gives a real foundation so that person can pursue their further studies or certifications.
Their Current Health Condition
This shows whether a personal trainer him/herself is fit enough to guide you.
I have seen a lot of personal trainers having a big belly and training people how to lose weight or fat!
Or they themselves do not have enough muscle and teaching people how to build muscle!
At least I would never hire such a person.
Is He/She Self Motivated?
Make sure they don’t do this just for the sake of doing.
See that they are excited and charged to transform you and give you desired results.
Check their profile on social media, check their knowledge.
I never believe a person who just posts their photos, watch for videos and tutorials if any.
Because every other person who do their personal weight loss or muscle building transformations becomes an Online Personal Coach.
Look if they have some client’s testimonials.
See whether they can showcase their expertise and knowledge.
Your Fitness Goals
I think the number one priority of a personal gym trainer should be your goals.
Look whether they ask you about your personal goals and what stopped you from achieving your fitness goals.
He/she will try to assess and then give a personalized tailored fitness plan.
Your Current Fitness Levels
It is also important for a personal gym trainer to look into your current fitness level and any past medical conditions before providing you with a plan.
Avoid any kind of fad diet
This part is very important because I have seen people following a fad diet or quick fix diet which includes the following:
- Liquid Diet
- Diet very low in carbs (by the way they work but there is a proper way of doing that)
- Detox Diet (for a long time)
- Low Fat Diet
- Extremely Low-Calorie Diet
In any kind of diet, the first and foremost thing is calories which actually defines how long it will take for you to lose weight or build muscle.
And of course, there is a need of macronutrient (protein, carbohydrate, and fat) ratios, which ultimately change according to your goals.
Ask for your trainer to give you a full breakdown of macronutrient and calories (I have seen people copy-pasting diets from the internet and giving it to their clients)
Always look that your calories should not go lower than your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) it is the number of calories your body needs at complete rest which is vital for organs such as heart, brain, muscle, lungs, liver, skin etc.
Availability
Look for their phone number, skype id, WhatsApp number so that you can be in touch with them in case you face any issues.
Ask them at what time you can call or talk to them, make sure they don’t ignore you.
