Getting the Most from a Gym Personal Training Session: Part 2

If you are signing up for the first time or renewing a membership, try to negotiate one or more free sessions to be included in your package. Try talking to the membership folks to find out which trainer might be a good fit with you. Ask around and see if you can observe all or part of another member's session. This will give you an idea about the personality fit with the trainer. Again, as much exposure to the trainer you can get prior to committing to a package, the better. And I DO recommend committing to a package. You are more likely to get into routine and gain momentum if you enroll in a group of sessions (many trainers have minimum sessions anyway.
