Personal Training in Richmond VA

There are a ton of great trainers in Richmond VA.  Trust me, over the years, I have had a chance to work with some of the best.  We seem to have a tight knit little community here in Richmond.  But not all trainers are created equal.  Before signing up with a trainer, do your homework and request 1-2 free sessions so you can get a feel for his/her training style.  Here are 4 important things to look for in a personal trainer:

1.)  Education/Experience:  Make sure the trainer is certified through a reputable organization and has either a 4 year degree in the field or a ton of related experience.  Don't be afraid to ask questions and expect questions in return.  Your trainer should want to know about you in order to establish a great relationship and design a safe and effective workout that best suits your needs and fitness goals.
2.)  Communication:  Good communication is a must!  Your trainer should be able to communicate things to you in a way that you understand and makes you feel comfortable.  They should also get back to you in a timely manner when you call or send emails.  After all, you are paying a lot of money for their services.
3.)  Professionalism:  You can tell a lot about any person by the way they carry themselves.  You want to have fun and have a good relationship but there is a fine line.  If you and your trainer "talk" more than you "work" or your trainer is constantly texting or talking to other people during your workout, that might be a warning sign that they are not very invested in helping you reach your goals. 
4.)  Personality:  This is often overlooked when choosing a trainer.  You should be able to tell after a couple of session if you and your trainer are going to mesh well (hence the reason for requesting 1-2 free sessions).  Not every client / trainer are meant to be together.  Hold out on purchasing a package until you are sure that you have found a good fit. 

There you have it.  Find those 4 things in a personal trainer and you have probably found yourself a keeper!

WellFit Richmond- Back on the scene

I have been off the scene for the last year.  I decided to take on a full-time Wellness Specialist position with an awesome company.  It was a great experience but after a year I knew it wasn't my true calling.  I wanted more flexibility for me and my family and I wanted to get back to doing what I have come to enjoy the most.....wellness coaching and personal training at WellFit Richmond.  So here I am again, taking a leap of faith, back on the scene.....this time to stay.  Sometimes you just have to believe in yourself and take the leap to find success and happiness!  Interested in a free wellness consult or personal training session?  Email me at brandyn.webster@gmail.com
