According to Jeff Mrochinski, President of JAM Pro Fitness, LLC, an on-site personal-training business, "the number one thing you want in an in-home personal trainer is someone who is reputable. You want someone who has some credentials to let you know that they have an idea of what they are really talking about. The American Council on Exercise or ACE provides certifications, as does the National Association of Sports Medicine. You should ask someone about their professional credentials."
"Any trainer worth their salt will provide you with a free in-home consultation. There is a special relationship between the trainer and the client, and you need to develop trust and understanding in each other. You need to be able to sit down and decide on goals and agree on how you are going to go about to attain them. This is why it's called personal training," said Mrochinski.
According to the National Sporting Good Association in 2006 exercise equipment sales totaled $5.2 billion.
"Many people are purchasing home exercise equipment this time of year and often they need an in-home trainer to teach them how to properly use this equipment to achieve the results they desire. An effective trainer will assess each client and customize a program to help them reach their long-time goals, not just come in and show them a bunch of random exercises," according to Mrochinski.
"It is vitally important for individuals with health issues that the personal trainer be in contact with their client's medical professional. We want to make sure our clients are getting the vast benefits of exercise, while avoiding injury or contraindications."
