  • From a lack of empathy to trying to diagnose pain, fitness professionals shared the red flags to look out for when hiring a personal trainer.

The article from MSN outlines six critical red flags to consider when hiring a personal trainer, as advised by fitness professionals. Firstly, trainers who lack proper certification or have certifications from unrecognized bodies should be avoided. Secondly, be cautious of trainers who do not conduct an initial assessment or fail to tailor workouts to your specific needs and goals. Thirdly, a trainer who pushes for extreme diets or supplements without considering your health history is a warning sign. Fourth, if a trainer does not demonstrate or explain exercises properly, this can lead to ineffective workouts or injuries. Fifth, watch out for trainers who are more focused on their own fitness goals or social media presence rather than your progress. Lastly, a lack of professionalism, such as being late, unorganized, or uncommunicative, indicates a trainer might not be committed to your success. These red flags help ensure you choose a trainer who will genuinely contribute to your fitness journey.
