HOW DO I FIND A QUALIFIED PERSONAL TRAINER?

Orange County has a service which helps individuals and health clubs find qualified personal trainers.


Southern California residents realize the importance of living an active lifestyle and are eager to learn and adopt physical exercise as a part of their life.  Personal trainers are their guide into the world of perspiration, heart rate, and contracting muscles.  So how do you go about hiring a personal trainer when you know nothing about the world they live in?  According to Eric Johannsen, founder of premiumtrainers.com, finding a personal trainer is mostly done through word of mouth, referral by a friend, or the management staff at your health club.  These sources are good but only give the potential client a small and biased representation of the population of trainers in their area.   

Many of the most popular New Year’s Resolutions are directly linked or affected by regular physical activity.  According to the U.S Government’s Official Web Portal, FirstGov.gov, “lose weight,” “get fit,” “eat right,” “reduce stress overall,” are all listed as the most popular of 2007.  Personal trainers provide the guidance, motivation, knowledge, and safety to achieve or affect all of the above resolutions.  With the growing importance on being physically active, more and more young people are turning to careers in personal training. The U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, states that “opportunities are expected to be good for fitness workers because of the growth in the fitness industry.”  Personal trainers are expected to branch out into the entertainment, arts, and recreation industries at a more rapid rate in the coming years. 

Eric Johannsen created premiumtrainers.com to give individuals information, selection options, and knowledgeable feedback before they hire a trainer.  Being a personal trainer himself, Eric knows style, personality, experience, and price are all factors to consider.  As well, Eric also knows the fitness industry is full of “certified” trainers giving the industry a bad name because of lack of knowledge and experience.  “The client doesn’t know what certifications are good or what area of study is needed to work as a personal trainer.  I want to give them the tools they need to find the best personal trainer for themselves.”
