South Kensington Club are recruiting for a full-time trainer (minimum of 40 hours a week (Monday to Sunday) to join their PT team to deliver a 5* fitness experience.
As a personal trainer, fitness may be your Forte but you need to be sensitive to the physical and mental limitations of your clients and take care to ensure that they do not feel discouraged at their inability to do a particular part of your programme, whether that be in the gym, kitchen or any other part of daily life. A successful personal trainer would keep in mind that every client comes from diverse backgrounds and professions and may take a while to break free from the habits and schedules they have been following for so many years. Try and see life through your client’s eyes, what it must be like to be them are key questions to ask every time you work alongside them. You must be able to strike the right tone, select the right language and above all else provide the right programme and the right time based upon their mind-set and physical capabilities.
Personality and Social Skills
More than any other profession, it helps for a personal trainer to have an extrovert nature and a cheerful disposition.
A friendly, outgoing personality will make people quickly warm up to you and look forward to their sessions with you. Nobody would enjoy being with a trainer who is quiet, distant and somewhat disinterested with the clients.
A successful trainer goes out of his way to connect with the clients by having them talk about themselves and asking open-ended questions to get an insight into their requirements and inclinations. This helps the personal trainer to win the clients’ trust and to better understand their fitness goals.
Leadership
Personal training is all about inspiring people to work their bodies towards achieving certain health and fitness goals. This is by no means an easy task as the trainer has to help them shake off the natural lethargy and lack of time being the most common obstacles to exercising.
They have to know how to motivate their clients to sweat it out and push the limits of their endurance in order for them to complete a workout routine.
The essence of leadership lies in the ability to influence and lead people without being overbearing.
It also involves commanding the respect of your clients, making them want to follow you.
Creativity
Going by the book rarely works in any field and it is much the same in personal training as well.
Every individual has unique aptitudes, tendencies and thresholds.
For a personal trainer, the skill lies in being able to discern individual potential and design specific programs that are tailor-made to suit individual requirements.
A lot of imagination and creativity is needed in order to keep up the interest levels of the client and prevent monotony from setting in.
A personal trainer has to be on their toes to find innovative methods of training and to design challenging but enjoyable workout routines that ensure that clients are always motivated and not getting bored with their sessions. CPD is an excellent way to ignite your workouts and programming content.
Professionalism and Discipline:
Like with any other career, personal trainers too need to show the highest standards of professionalism in the way they dress, the manner in which they conduct themselves with their clients. It is extremely important to be polite and sincere in your dealings with your clients and to show that you value their time by always being punctual. The path to fitness entails lifestyle changes and calls for a great deal of commitment and self-control. Today’s stress-filled and fast-paced lives have made it so easy to succumb to temptations that await us at every nook and cranny. The ideal personal trainer must lead by example and pro-actively show and lead clients on the path to health and fitness. “Practice what you preach” should be your motto, if you want to gain the respect of your clients.
To sum it up, personal trainers mainly need to develop and polish their interpersonal skills so that they can connect better with their clients on a one to one basis and can come across as a fine blend of professional expertise and a people-centric personality.
