What to look for from your personal trainer

When looking for a personal trainer it all starts with finding the person that has the credentials, expertise and temperament to get you to your Fitness goals and objectives.
Not necessarily in this order but here are a few things to think about when searching for your Fitness trainer. Where did you find your fitness professional?, references from people you know and trust are always the best, Do they work in your area and can they demonstrate that they have trained people in your area for a reasonable period of time, do they have connections to the community (are they a business or are they just doing this on the side, along with this are they full time fitness pro's or again is this a side line. Are they certified and how many years have they been in business, can they demonstrate to your comfort that they know what there doing, trust your gut on this one. Also good if they can see you in action, this has been especially useful in my tennis practice, where people can see me work with people and hopefully get a good feel for me and what I do.
Do they have other fitness expertise, for instance I'm also a certified tennis instructor, but they can be martial arts experts or trained in physical therapy, yoga ect. Hope these thoughts will assist you on your search for a personal trainer for you. Good luck!...Fitness with jeff Atlanta.
