#157 – 5 Things You Need To Know When Hiring A Fitness Coach

    Do you wonder why you don’t lose weight, but you have tried diet after diet? Why don’t you feel stronger after all those classes you took, and gardening is still super hard on your back? Why can’t you seem to run after the grandkids without getting out of breath? Or maybe your muscles are stiffer than you remember them being, and now picking up your socks off the floor is a chore, and you grab them with your toes instead of bending down. You want to make sure that you’re hiring the right coach for your needs, and there are 5 things you need to know when hiring a fitness coach to reach your goals.

    5 Things You Need To Know When Hiring A Fitness Coach

    That’s where the help of a qualified fitness and wellness coach comes in. This episode talks about 5 things you need to know when hiring a fitness coach. In my 30-plus years in the industry, I’ve worked for gyms, smaller studios, in-home clients, online training with large and small groups, to individual training. I want you to make the best choice for your health and what’s right for you.

    What’s the difference between a personal trainer and a fitness coach?

    Knowing the difference between a personal trainer and a fitness coach is essential. A personal trainer provides significant input for your workouts and helps you maximize your workout, but a fitness coach goes beyond the physical part. A fitness coach provides training programs and how-to’s when it comes to your workouts, plus they focus on what you need outside the training sessions. In addition, a fitness coach who builds a personal relationship with you helps you reach your goals in all aspects of mental, physical, and social health. 

    Find a well-educated fitness coach interested in you and your health, which empowers you to stay healthy and fit in the second half of your life.
