Trainer Compatibility

Find a personal trainer you feel comfortable with. You may be spending a lot of time with this person, and you should be able to focus on the exercises, not the trainer. If you find you do not get along, or this person's teaching style isn't for you, ask the club's training supervisor to find you another trainer.
