A high-quality personal trainer should conduct a thorough initial assessment rather than immediately starting a standard workout routine.

“If you get if you get a good trainer, they'll do a full assessment on you. And that that right away, like if they're doing a full assessment, then you know they've got the like very few brand new trainers who don't know what they're really doing or know how to do like a thorough good assessment.”

Aspiring personal trainers should focus on developing their craft with real-world, in-person experience rather than prioritizing social media and influencer status.

“Go be a great trainer where nobody in in the Instagram world knows who you are. Go get good at your craft. Go change people's lives. Get referrals from people because you've gotten so good at your craft.”

Personal training is valuable for growth even if the specific journey with a trainer does not yield positive results.
