The Body You Want – Personal Trainer Washington, DC

Finding the Best Washington, DC Personal Trainer for You

It’s a sad fact that the extent and expertise of health marketing today has lured so many, if not all, weight-loss-seeking individuals into getting plainly ripped off. Finding the best Washington, DC Personal trainer would be a very painstaking task, and I’ve had my fair share.

Working as a pool lifeguard a couple of years back, I had to make sure that I sported a good physique. I enrolled for gym classes and made sure that there was value to every dollar I spent by attending sessions early, working-out hard and keeping up with my trainer, who assured me of getting that Baywatch body in no time.

By the time that the DC pools were about to be closed for the summer, I sought my trainer for essential tips and “home works” since I might no longer be able to afford his $75 per session training without my lifeguard job. It was as if he never knew me when he quipped, “You know you’d have to buy more sessions if you’d want that.” No tips, no reminders, nor parting words of goodwill… and I thought I got myself the best Washington, DC Personal Trainer whom I spent my entire savings on!

Getting tricked into a lot of weight loss myths with a personal trainer is not an inevitable matter. I could’ve avoided the embarrassing and hurting moment if only I didn’t become too jaded by the seducing promises that the gym club made. If only I had been a wiser and well-informed consumer, I would’ve made the right choice.

So how can you possibly get the best Personal Trainer in Washington, DC without going through the horrible situation of getting ripped off?

1. Understand the need of going through a thorough baseline evaluation.

Looking back at the horrible experience, I really couldn’t tell if I achieved improvements or not because I never had any measurements taken. Nothing… no before or in-between-training values to objectively tell where I started off and where the short-lived “program” took me.

A thorough baseline evaluation by the best Washington, DC Personal Trainer must include your baseline measurements, medical history including your pre-existing medical conditions, risk factors to consider especially if a previous injury/surgery happened, work hours and the amount of time you are willing to commit to the program, commitment to change unhealthy food habits, and your personal goals.

Client baseline information has a tremendous bearing on the success of the entire training. It must never be limited to measurements and goals.

2. Understand that an effective training program is tailored.

If you are paying a serious amount of money for the best Washington, DC personal trainer to help you lose weight, you have to make sure that you will be given a tailored program, and not a pre-designed one. You see, weight loss programs are never boxed training routines. It must be customized according to your initial evaluation and your capacity to workout. Your workout capacity is determined by giving you a series of tests that will conclude your level of coordination and flexibility.

Another facet to the training program is your diet. A good trainer must never be contented with plainly saying, “keep off junk foods and fast-food restaurants” or “don’t eat a lot of carbs”. A printout of SPECIFIC nutritional instructions of your weight loss program should be handed to you.

3. Understand that a good trainer empowers.

I spent my entire savings on whom I thought was the best personal trainer in Washington, DC because I knew that I needed him around if I wanted to achieve the body I’ve always dreamt of. It wasn’t until I became a trainer myself that I realized that a real effective trainer EMPOWERS clients and hones them to become INDEPENDENT from their trainers.
