1. Did the coach listen to you?
At the initial stage of cooperation, your coach should try to understand you, not brainwash you. You should be clear about your goals, past sports experiences, any problems you have encountered, and any related medical history such as injuries, give you more time to state your opportunities, and then give appropriate suggestions.
2. Can the coach teach according to your needs?
Although experience is the value of a coach, it doesn't mean that a coach can project his past experience on his clients, because the same training method is not suitable for everyone; Normal means giving you rules that suit you and making training methods according to your needs, which is why you hire a coach.
There is only one training plan.
Different goals will lead to different training plans. If your coach can't provide customized guidance, the content of each exercise is similar, even if he is facing other customers, it shows that his planning for individual differences is not enough and needs careful consideration!
4. The coach can make you ask why.
Always keep your curiosity. Remember to ask the coach generously when you encounter training content that you don't understand, or when you have questions about the movements. A good coach should be able to accept customers' questions and explain them to you in an orderly way.
Even if he can't answer the question right away, he can assure you that he will give you a complete answer next class. Such a flexible coach that can be tested by customers should reduce the chance of being eliminated by the market.
The coach said you could understand.
Fitness is a professional field, and it is inevitable that there will be professional and difficult terms. But teaching is best to turn complex movements into instructions that you can understand, otherwise it will lose the meaning of coaching! If the coach always says some terms you don't understand, so that you can't grasp the key training, then you'd better change your tutor quickly.
