Personal Training With Kurt Lee Hurley

(Personal training is just that… It’s personal)

Personal training is about relationships; building and maintaining relationships that span the course of years. -Kurt Lee Hurley

Personal training is now considered a commonplace professional service, especially amongst the affluent, the busy, time-crunched 30 and 40ish population and the post 55 segment. Conversely speaking though, personal trainers are viewed from two entirely different perspectives. People either love them, or they hate them. The vast differences from one trainer to the next are only growing leaps and bounds from one day to the next. The practices, the etiquette, the skill-set, the aptitude, the education, the application, the people skills and the many other facets of a trainer are hardly recognizable at first glance, but when scrutinized more deeply, the differences become painfully obvious.  A fitness professional, or professional fitness trainer is one that easily and effortlessly manages the distinctions of many personality types. They are both interested and interesting. They are engaged and engaging. They possess a certain ability to communicate complex physiological and physical terminology to whomever they are speaking to. They are friendly and they are personable. They are not meatheads, nor are they out of shape. They are not only invested into making a living, they are invested into making a difference. They are not self-absorbed, self centered egomaniacs. They are there for you and your needs, not the opposite. They place value on their craft and so they have placed themselves under scrutiny. They are easily located and not hiding under a rock. Their age is a factor, but only because trust is the name of the game and people typically do not entrust children with something as fragile and vital as their health and well being. 

Some questions to ask about your personal trainer:

    1.     Are they recognized experts in their field?

    2.     Do they own and operate their business or do they work for a club?

    3.     Do they have a website, or websites that communicate their message?

    4.     Are they respected in their community?

    5.     Do they possess similar qualities as a medical or health care professional?

    6.     Have they appeared in the health or fitness media?

    7.     Have they authored a book, articles, or been published in industry specific periodicals?

    8.     Do they train part time, or full time?

    9.     Do they charge professional fees for professional services?

    10.   Are they busy practicing their craft, or are they too busy playing their X-box, Playstation or Wii? 


     You wouldn’t allow an auto mechanic to perform brain surgery on your child, nor would you hire, or employ the services of a child to maintain, manage, or multiply your financial health and well being…now would you?

So, why hire a personal trainer that doesn’t know his head from a hole in the ground?
