Be careful, though!
Anyone declaring personal trainer as it happens, unfortunately, in our country with many specialization is eg. Lawyers, accountants, salesmen, dancers, Ms. policemen. - Does not mean that it is suitable, trained and aware of basic fitness parameters and health; to at least know the Physical Education teacher and Sport .
Unfortunately, there is in Greece certified personal trainers. There is a Physical Education (Department of Physical Education and Sport) from where graduate trainers and then can specialize in special seminars . Also careful the term personal trainer . The trainer who deals with personal training is neither simple graduate of Physical Education simply because knowledge is limited. He can of course be aware of basic science dealing with the physical condition and health of the practitioner, such as anatomy, kinesiology, physiology, Exercise Physiology, coaching, but I am personal trainer means a lot more. The fact that one can know yoga or Pilates does not mean it is personal trainer. It's just a teacher of yoga and Pilates? It can of course teaching staff level, however, this does not make the personal trainer. The Personal trainer should be possessed of knowledge - health, exercise and fitness - of large-scale human body. To know how to trains, not necessarily all age ranges, with great variety in the way fitness. The diversity is also one of the basic principles of coaching. And saying variety is not only meant to askisiologio but also in various types of fitness. Can practitioner one day want yoga, pilates other, the other functional training, balls, etc. What does not know yoga or Pilates? The professional who is possessed by a range of training methods, never ceases to be informed and be flexible only winner can emerge. It is right, therefore the potential customers to know all this before you make the choice of a personal trainer.
How to find your trainer
You can start by asking the gym where already go or to any of your neighborhood or whatever else you trust.

That must:

It fits the personality / her?
Do you feel comfortable with?
It creates motivation?
He is friendly and open to questions? He answers all the questions you make it? (Not necessarily a criterion because as we know no one knows everything). Fear not the professional who is not afraid to say 'I have no opinion on the subject but I will make sure to find out and get back to you' instead fear him who plays pundits usually trying in this way to hide the imperfect knowledge or even worse the ignorance of.
He communicates well and explains in a simple, understandable way the exercises?
Recognizes your needs?
Match times with your own?
A good personal trainer gives great importance to the psychological field and knows how to push each customer to achieve its objectives, within reasonable limits, of course.
Tip
Because there is the profession of certified personal trainer, do not be afraid to ask what it takes to end up in the most correct choice possible for you. A good personal trainer acts decisively in your life because it helps you significantly improve your physical condition and your mood.
Personal training for children and young people
If you choose trainer for your kids, you should check some additional features that are useful to have.
It has good communication with the young ages?
She has experience in training young people?
Recognizes fitness level and above the interest of your child for gymnastics and sport?
Can work with young people who are very active or others who simply need to exercise for health reasons?
The timetable plans integrated?
He knows, understands and adapts the program according to the child's needs and the needs of the sports which have been served?
Know the basic coached young people?
COST
The charges vary depending on the experience of the trainer, the duration of the course, where they will be (in the gym, at home) and perhaps the possible specialization training (eg rehabilitation after surgery, injury, training disabled needs). Check also whether to have equipment or other accessories necessary for the program or if you would bring it himself.
Be informed, however, namely:
What is the duration of each course.
What charge o personal trainer.
What does the cost (in terms of exercises, advice, accessories possible).
There are better values for "packages" (5-10 lessons)?
There is opportunity for personal training in 2-3 people, so will the price reduced per person, but will work out with friends?
What about cancellations or postponements of course when you cancel, when a gymnast cancels and what time to not incur cost?
When it is finished the workout
Three main elements characterize the integrated program: aerobic exercise, strength training and stretching exercises, but of course never forget the warm up. It is not necessary and these three categories to be included in the same workout, but definitely under weekly program, albeit separately.
The most important is to follow a program that suits you and will realistically have time to continue. The position of ACSM-American College of Sports Medicine, in terms of quantity and quality of exercise for healthy adults, says you need to get at least 30 minutes with minimum frequency of three times a week. The strength training is at least 2 times a week with 6-8 exercises 3-4 for the lower body and 3-4 for the top, and should not forget the stretching exercises that give flexibility, should be made daily for the main muscle groups are gently and last at least 15 seconds each.
ATTENTION!
Do not ever hesitate to request certification from your trainer. It is your right to know if the man who would trust the physical and mental health is not only able to improve, which is the aim, but to be in a position to maintain at least the current, not the worse. As you know that the profession of a doctor only practicing doctor (with few exceptions bad ...... .symvainei in these professions), so it's your right to you and your trainer to be professional and not a lawyer free hours plays gymnast, simply because he likes or anyone who likes the gym and not entered the University simply to make the trainer
