Badge: Background Check
Because we as a society can never be too
careful these days, we provide this badge as an opportunity for the Fit
Pro to provide his/her clients with added ‘peace of mind”. This badge
and is not required of a Fit Pro in order to use our services. If you
have any questions regarding a particular fit Pro that has not received a
Background Check Badge, ask them why.
Badge: Top Rated
A Fit Pro
must receive at least ten (10) “Thumbs Up” and five (5) positive reviews
from their clients before receiving this badge.
Badge: Elite Pro
A Fit Pro must maintain a positive rating of 80 percent or higher for at least six months before receiving this badge.
Firstly,
it should be noted and understood that exercise in any form can be rigorous,
and we strongly suggest that anyone with questions regarding their health
should consult a physician. Conversely,
online training when performed properly is just as safe as exercise received
anywhere else… with the exception that you are commonly by yourself.
Most likely
not! But don’t take our word for it, use
a search engine and search for persons like 97-year old Charles Eugster who
began resistance training at the ripe age of 87, or 77-year old Ms. Ms.
Willie Murphy who can lift twice her body weight.
Learning
how to properly perform any exercise is by far the most important skill
required to effectively reach better health.
Bad form almost always leads to injury, and injury, no matter how small
oftentimes leads to individuals giving up on their fitness goals.
It depends on your wants, your needs and the Fit Pro you choose.
If you want a Fit Pro that works in a gym to train you, you might pay less than you would for a Fit Pro that travels to your home, office or outdoors to train you, and you might pay even less for an online Fit Pro than you would a Fit Pro in a gym. If you are wanting three sessions a week versus one session a week, you might receive a per session discount for bulk packages or group training. Additionally, you might pay more for a Fit Pro with years of experience and multiple certifications versus a Fit Pro with less knowledge and fewer certifications
Having
good form when working out is extremely important – both for injury prevention
and for making good progress.
Your fitness professional will then review
the video and provide you with feedback during your consultation.
Most, if not all of this can take place through the Trainerize program.
In addition, you’ll be taking regular progress photos (kept private between you and your Fit Pro) and uploading them to your online account so you’ll be able to clearly see all of the visual improvements you’re making!
