The job of a fitness professional is often misunderstood. The client-trainer relationship is based on a team "system". If each "team member" does his/her part, goals will be reached and satisfaction will occur from both sides. This means each "team member" putting 110% effort into achieving the clients goals.
One of the best tips I can give a client is to be 100% honest with your trainer at all times. If you are not happy with the program, if something is hurting or uncomfortable, if you need a greater challenge etc... Tell your trainer. That is what we (fitness professionals) are there to do: help, listen, educate, encourage etc... However, if you do not speak up, the trainer will assume everything is ok and that you are enjoying your routine.
Remember, a trainer can see literally hundreds of people in over the period of a few weeks or a month. He/she needs to ask constantly, "how you feeling? How's your program?" etc... As well as the client needs to provide feedback for the trainer each session so the team effort can continue in the right direction.
ABOVE ALL - WORK HARD, HAVE FUN... AND ENJOY THE TEAMWORK! :o)
