PICKING THE PERFECT PERSONAL TRAINER

Colorado Springs, CO --(September 18, 2002)--Need help choosing just the right personal trainer? The National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) has developed a guide to help select an educated, certified, and competent personal trainer.

The NSCA, as a nonprofit, worldwide authority on strength and conditioning, provides an invaluable brochure as a checklist to help you through the personal trainer interview process. How to Select a Personal Trainer starts with steps to locating a personal trainer, determining their level of education, personal experience, and certification credentials. The brochure continues to answer questions concerning personality, fees, and scheduling.

Additionally, the NSCA has an online personal trainer locator service available on their website at www.nsca-lift.org that lists over 1,100 NSCA-certified personal trainers. Search the locator to find the perfect trainer in your state/province. Then select alphabetically by city.

A personal trainer should be a source of motivation and encouragement, and a resource for the latest information on health and fitness. Selecting a personal trainer can be a very confusing process, but with a little know how and guidance, your experience with a personal trainer can be a healthy and happy one.
