How not to make a mistake? Choosing a competent trainer for online classes

Samen met Ekaterina Nekrasova, a top trainer from the World Class chain, we look at what you should pay attention to when choosing a professional instructor for online classes.

How often do you exercise? Or is it better to ask how many attempts to do sports you have made in your life? Agreed, to start working out, you need to spend a lot of time to first find the right fitness center, then the trainer, then every day to lug with sports stuff – first to the club, then from there.

Online workout is another matter. Spread a mat, turn on the recording of the class and go! But how not to make a mistake in choosing an online trainer and recognize his professionalism? There are several criteria.

Certificates and credentials

First of all, make sure that this is a certified trainer with specialized education. He can boast a lot of performances at various competitions, he can have an endless number of regalia and awards. But what’s the point if he had an instructor who led him to these victories, built the training process, regulated the nutrition and the amount of water?

Offline Experience

Find out if the trainer has worked with the client in person, not just online. There should be experience as an instructor in a fitness club. There is clearly more ekperience with someone who has trained a client by seeing them in front of you, correcting, adjusting and guiding them throughout the class.

Competent preparation of a nutrition plan

Even if you come to the trainer with the purpose of losing weight, he should not cut your calorie intake and “sit” on buckwheat and chicken. If you got one – run without looking back. The sea of buckwheat and chicken breast has long gone out of fashion. Now it is important to feel the balance within yourself, to fill yourself with high-quality, nutrient-rich foods.

Motivatie

It is important for the trainer to set you up for positive work, you should not feel uncomfortable compared to him. He should give you the confidence that you can do it all, that you will reach your goal together.

Role model

The coach needs to look appropriate to his status, do sports himself and be an example for you and others. He should be on fire with the sport, burning with health and strength.

Constant progression

A good training program must progress, you must gradually increase the weights or repetitions, otherwise it will not give results. Exercises need to be tailored specifically to you, based on your body structure. One program for everyone is not suitable here. It is immediately obvious – a standard set of exercises, the same repetitions and approaches.

Variety of training

Training should be varied. It is important for the trainer to adjust the program every week so that you don’t get bored with it. It is also in his or her best interest that you stay with him or her to continue training.

Feedback and genuine interest

The trainer should communicate with you, be interested in your progress, and always be in touch. If he threw you a program and immediately disappeared – this is not your instructor. I doubt that he is qualified and is a trainer at all.
