Tip: If you'd prefer not to spend too much money on your personal training sessions, you could reach out to someone who provides group classes or boot camps.

As well as by considering fitness classes, another great way of ensuring you don't waste money is to have an informal call or meeting with the trainer you're considering before committing to any PT sessions. This way, you'll be able to gain insights into the type of expert guidance they'll be able to provide you with, the number of years of experience they have, and their training philosophy.

At the same time, they'll be able to learn about your current fitness levels and individual needs.

Consequently, they'll be able to assess whether they're well suited to designing a personalised training programme for you that will enable you to reach your objectives.

Tip: A good first step when reaching out to a personal trainer is to see whether they'll provide an initial first session.

A trainer who is confident that they can provide you with so much value that you'll happily pay for your next session (and maybe many more) will often be pleased to agree to this. During this session, you'll be able to ask them about the kinds of workout plans that they provide their clients and determine whether these consider crucial points, such as any physical or dietary restrictions you might have.

You could also ask them whether they'll be able to consider the other responsibilities that exist in your everyday life (e.g., work, family); sometimes, the best way to make progress is not to aim for a perfect routine and "optimum health" but rather to follow a plan that is sustainable in light of your commitments and the things you enjoy.
