Communication is Key

              Communication is Key

 It’s not easy asking for help, but that’s what personal trainers are supposed to do, help you. Having an open line of communication between the two of you is imperative. If you decide against getting a personal trainer, you may still want to have someone on your team to confide in about this new lifestyle change.

When it comes to weight and the public stigma behind it, we often fear exposing ourselves and becoming vulnerable to others. A personal trainer can be a middle ground for this concern. They are your sounding board, but also your source of information during the process. They might not always say what you want them to, but they are there to guide you, not be your friend.

After all, it’s best that they know as much as possible and you are learning tools to help you along the way!

Here are a few ways to open up to youfit personal trainer

Establish A Rapport:

Get to know each other. Ask about their credentials, tell them about yourself, and just be friendly. Make sure your personal trainer is open to casual dialogue and isn’t just telling you how to do squats or lifts. 

Be Honest: 

Are you someone who likes to smear cake frosting on graham crackers? You’re probably not alone. You should feel comfortable telling your personal trainer without fear of judgement. They will help you beat that habit. 

Swap Shoes: 

Not physically, but mentally. If you’re meeting with a trainer because you gained weight after a nasty divorce, then tell exactly what happened. Then, picture yourself as the youfit personal traine with a client just like you. This will help you understand each other, and therefore get the most out of your personal training sessions.
