In this discussion I share the most common five reasons why new clients hire a personal trainer.

There are of course many other on the list, not mentioned here, of which can vary in importance, however in my fifteen years of training clients, the list discussed here are the most common and one in particular is slowly but surely increasing.

The UK, USA, Europe and some parts of Asia are increasingly turning to online dating, in order to find a match, by way of the deluge of dating apps available.

With this in mind, personal trainers are now seeing a slightly younger age group show interest or eventually hire us to kick start their physical improvements prior to entering the world of online dating and thus, in theory giving the client a better chance of securing initial interest from prospective matches, leading to a date and subsequently relationships.

You may have your own reason to hire a personal trainer from the initial consultation, but as time goes by, we often learn clients actually have a multitude of requirements, some of which are in our remit and sometimes not.

When a client presents a trainer with a problem / requirement not in our professional remit, we are happy to refer the client to another health care professional, from a GP or chiropractor, to a physiotherapist or mental health counsellor.

If you are thinking of making the first step to working with a trainer, start by writing down a list of reasons why and then revisit your list again to give yourself clarity on your requirements. This can help the consultation process, with your trainer and free up time for a trial session if required.
