To find a fitness instructor that suits you, we should think from two angles.
One is to think from oneself.
The second is to determine the choice of the coach.
First, make clear your own conditions.
First of all, I want to know the purpose of going to the gym/yoga room, whether to lose fat or gain muscle, whether to restore or maintain weight, whether to gain muscle hypertrophy or aerobic training. Second, fully measure your own conditions, the distance from the gym to the office or residence, your own budget, and most importantly, adhere to the sustainability of fitness. The main reason why my fitness card is wasted is that I didn't do enough thinking, and as a result, I spent money, which is equivalent to giving it away for nothing.
Second, the choice of fitness instructors
(A) the coach's attitude
There is a saying in the fitness industry that "as a fitness instructor, you must first look like a coach".
As a fitness instructor, good posture is the most powerful advertising word for professionalism and specialization. Because a person's figure indirectly reflects the coach's own self-requirements, lifestyle, health concept and so on. , and shows the level of the coach to varying degrees.
If you lose weight as a fitness instructor, will you still let him teach you muscle training? If you practice buttock, will you hire a coach with a collapsed butt?
1. Fitness instructor's figure, as the customer's first impression of fitness instructor, is the most intuitive, objective and convincing sales. Customers don't know how to exercise. For customers, the coach's figure is very important.
Of course, numbers don't mean everything. By figure, we mean having obvious training marks.
If you are a male pilates or yoga instructor, although you don't have unicorn arms, your professional quality may be too hard. One of my fitness teachers is that she is not very tall, but she has a strong theory. However, choosing a coach in the gym and studio has obvious training traces, which is the first level of choosing a coach.
3. The coach's figure reflects his own experience of fitness to some extent. First, he can exercise himself, so as to guide the members to carry out action training.
(2) The number of long-term members of the coach
A coach usually has a special long-term member to teach one-on-one
A relatively normal level is to have 8- 12 regular members. The choice of customers reflects the level of coaches and can be used as a reference.
However, it should be noted that more members are not necessarily the best for you, because more members mean that the coach will spend less time and energy on you.
After all, a person's energy is limited. If the coach has more than 20 full members, please think carefully.
(3) Coach certificate
As soon as I entered the gym, in the most eye-catching position, there were photos of all the coaches with various certifications on them.
Through the investigation of gymnasiums in the north and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, it is found that the qualifications of gym coaches mainly include the following aspects:
ACE, nasm, nsca, acsm, ANSA, National Service, Asian Fitness, Sepp Certification, 567go Certification, Asian Fitness, Goode Certification, etc. (There are too many certifications, so I won't list them here).
It should be noted here that at present, the domestic fitness certification is mixed, so it is necessary to distinguish clearly and identify the certificate with real gold content.
I wonder who gave this coach confidence.
Many customers don't know whose certificates are listed above. I personally list the gold content (for reference only) for fitness customers to choose.
1, ace, NASM, NSCA, CSCS, ACSM, ANSA
2.567go certification, Goodall certification and Loko certification.
4. Sepp certification, National Post
5. Asian physical fitness, Asian physical fitness, Asian physical fitness, AAASFP, CBBA (rotten street, you can apply for a permit with money)
(D) the coach's personality (focus)
A coach, in addition to professional technical ability, also needs to have the most important point, that is professional ethics.
What is the level of professional ethics? To put it simply: make clear the relationship between coach and customer's service and being served! Besides, nothing outside this relationship will happen!
1. If the coach invites you to dinner, invite you to drink coffee, or send you some ambiguous items.
2. Explore your personal privacy, get involved in your personal life or pull you into his personal life.
3. salty pig hands, cheap vulgar coaches.
Make the relationship not like coach and client, nor like friends, then please brake in time!
Pay close attention to the relationship or change coaches in time!
