Shreveport-Bossier Personal Training

ACSM (American College of Sports Medicine) has published a brochure with information on how to choose a personal trainer. Here are some interesting comments they make about the benefits of a personal trainer:

A qualified and properly trained personal trainer can help you safely start and maintain an effective exercise program. A personal trainer will understand your “fitness goals” and help you achieve them. A personal trainer can be a great source of motivation and encouragement, as well as a resource for the latest objective health and fitness information. He or she can also help you fit exercise into your busy schedule and teach you how to make the most out of your time in the gym.

But beware! The title “personal trainer” does not guarantee that a person is qualified to do the job. Currently, there is no national standard or minimum requirement for carrying this job title. Working with an under-qualified trainer could actually threaten your safety. This brochure will arm you with the knowledge of what to look for when seeking a personal trainer that is educated, qualified, and most-importantly, right for you!

Please realize that not all personal trainers are equal. I have posted my certifications and qualifications and I will be happy to answer any other questions you might have. If you are located in the Shreveport or Bossier area I will be happy to meet with you and further discuss your fitness and wellness goals.
