Hey there. Hiring a fitness coach or personal trainer is a big decision. You’re not just getting their guidance; you’re also picking up their tendencies. That’s why it’s critical to evaluate more than their credentials and experience—you need to consider their personal approach to food, exercise, and body image.
If you’ve been on and off diets for years, you might think fixation on food and exercise is normal. Many coaches in the industry reflect this mindset. But the truth is, a coach with a calm and logical approach can help you build a sustainable lifestyle instead of falling back into diet culture traps.
Take the time to assess how your potential coach navigates their own relationship with fitness. Are they promoting balance, or are they perpetuating extremes? Their perspective will shape the way they guide you, and in turn, how you approach your journey.
Building a lifestyle isn’t about rigidity—it’s about finding what works for you and sticking with it long-term. That starts with choosing a coach who prioritizes this mindset in their own life.
