After all, the right trainer really can make all the difference in reaching your goals efficiently and safely.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The trouble is, finding the ideal fitness guide for you isn\u2019t always as easy as it seems\u2014and all too often eager workout enthusiasts find themselves feeling stuck with a trainer who\u2019s not a good fit. It\u2019s an awkward situation, for sure, but certainly one worth fixing if you want to continue your health and fitness journey (and avoid feeling like you\u2019re wasting your hard-earned money).<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">If you\u2019re not sure whether your current set-up is\u00a0<i>really<\/i> working for you, consider the following signs you should break up with your personal trainer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>1. You Can\u2019t Be Honest With Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Padding the number of miles you ran, laps you swam, or reps you cranked out? Fudging the truth about how much movement you got in while on vacation? Spinning a tale about your daily routine? These little fibs are not as inconsequential as they may seem. \u201cLying to your trainer about your habits is no good,\u201d says personal trainer TJ Mentus, C.P.T., a fitness expert for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.garagegymreviews.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"s1\">Garage Gym Reviews<\/span><\/a>. In fact, it\u2019s a sign that <i>something<\/i> needs to change.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since a trainer\u2019s ultimate goal is to help get you to <i>your<\/i> goals as safely and quickly as possible, they need to understand what variables may affect your results (think nutrition, sleep, stress, mental health, overall health, etc.). This way, they can help you make adjustments and keep your progress on track. \u201cIf you find yourself constantly lying or hiding these things from your trainer, it\u2019s going to impact your results,\u201d Mentus says.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">If you don\u2019t feel comfortable opening up to the trainer you chose, it might be time to find a new one. \u201cA good trainer will meet you where you are without making you feel uncomfortable or judged,\u201d suggests Mentus. \u201cIf you\u2019ve been lying because you&#8217;re afraid the trainer is going to yell at you or reprimand you, finding a new trainer is the move.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>2. You&#8217;re Not Seeing Progress<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Since fitness is a results-based industry, a good trainer will get a clear sense of your goals and break down what (and how long) it\u2019ll take to achieve them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">And while a number of non-workout factors (like sleep, stress, and nutrition) can keep you from inching closer to your goals, a lack of progress can also indicate that something in your fitness programming isn\u2019t working, according to Mentus.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/reasons-for-fat-loss-plateau\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">9 Possible Reasons Why Your Fat Loss Has Plateaued<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">\u201cIf you\u2019re not reaching your goals, how your trainer responds and course-corrects is important,\u201d he says. Are they actively trying to discern why you aren\u2019t achieving results? That\u2019s a good sign. However, if they just continue on as usual or don\u2019t show interest in pivoting, be wary. \u201cA good trainer will talk through it with you and try to get to the source of the problem,\u201d he adds.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>3. They Make You Feel Poorly About Yourself<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">As a general (and perhaps obvious) rule, you want a trainer who helps you feel good in and about your body at <i>all<\/i> stages of your fitness journey. If you want to cultivate the most positive, sustainable relationship to movement possible, it\u2019s a nonnegotiable.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">In addition to providing quality workouts and programming, how your trainer motivates you is also important. So if your trainer waxes nonsense about \u2018earning\u2019 foods or burning off calories, or in any way belittles you or where you\u2019re at in your progress, it\u2019s time to find a new one!<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>4. You Spend More Time Chit-Chatting Than Working<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Your gym session should look more like a Shaun T training camp than an episode of <i>Gossip Girl<\/i>. If your trainer tends to spend more time talking about their ex\u2019s new beau than coaching you through movement cues, that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p4\">For one, the quality of your movement impacts the results you see (and whether you end up injured), so a focused, attentive trainer is a must, says Mentus. Plus, as friendly as you might be with your coach, it <i>is<\/i> a business relationship; you\u2019re spending your hard-earned dollars on training, not chit-chat.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>5. You Keep Canceling On Them<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">If you find yourself repeatedly canceling on your trainer, be really honest with yourself about <i>why<\/i>. Are you canceling because you&#8217;re less invested in your fitness goals than you originally thought? Because you prefer other kinds of movement to your one-on-one session? Because you\u2019re just not excited about seeing your coach? In many of these instances, it may be time to rethink your trainer\u2014or personal training altogether, Mentus suggests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-you-should-try-a-group-fitness-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">8 Signs You Should Try A Group Fitness Class<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Either consider finding a new trainer who you\u2019ll (hopefully) be less inclined to flake on or reinvesting your money elsewhere, whether it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vitaminshoppe.com\/blog\/signs-you-should-try-a-group-fitness-class\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">group fitness classes<\/a>, mental healthcare, or a hobby.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p5\"><strong>6. They Keep Canceling On You<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cObviously things happen\u2014like getting a flat tire or being sick\u2014but otherwise, good trainers never cancel on clients,\u201d says Mentus. A trainer who cancels on you without proper notice or without rescheduling signals that they\u2019re not invested in you, your working relationship, or your results, he says. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">While not <i>quite<\/i> as bad as flat-out canceling, tardiness is also a problem. \u201cSometimes previous sessions run a little over, so a couple of minutes isn\u2019t much to worry about,\u201d Mentus says. \u201cHowever, it\u2019s not okay for your trainer to consistently be five or more minutes late<span class=\"s2\">\u2014<\/span>especially if they still end the session at the usual time without making up for it.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hiring a personal trainer is a major step towards\u2014and investment in\u2014your health and fitness, so good on you if you\u2019ve made the decision to enlist a pro\u2019s help in making the most of your exercise routine.
