Gold's Gym Saipan

We have two new Certified Personal Trainers at Gold's Gym!
By definition, a personal fitness trainer is a fitness professional possessing the knowledge, skills and abilities for safe and effective exercise and fitness program design, instruction and assistance for the purpose of reaching personal health and fitness goals.

The good: trainers are more and more recognized as being a real and active part of individual goal setting and achieving. The role that trainers play in the success of their clients is increasingly in the spotlight, not hidden in the thankless backdrop. But the bad: a lot of distorted views about what a personal trainer does and how a personal trainer should look.

Passion, purpose, caring and coaching — these qualities make a far greater impact than the size of a trainer's biceps. Not that there isn't something to be said for outward appearance and taking care of the ”cover“ but the book has many pages, and the cover only gets the reader to pick up the book, not to read it.

At the baseline, your scope of practice as a personal trainer should look like this:

Knowledge of human anatomy and the concepts of functional exercise, basic nutrition and basic exercise science
An ability to design individual and group exercise programs tailored to the needs and attainable goals of specific clients
An ability to conduct and understand the need and importance of screening and client assessment, initially and progressively
An ability to execute individual fitness program design in a safe and effective way
A desire to help clients reach their health and fitness goals through appropriate cardiovascular, flexibility and resistance exercise
An ability to motivate others to improve their overall fitness and health
A dedication to maintaining personal integrity and your own health and fitness
A good personal trainer delivers safe, effective, fun and interesting workouts (in that order) to all fitness-training clients.
