Jason M. says, "Rick is not your typical trainer. He emphasizes correct form all the time, proper breathing in the exercise, and makes sure I feel safe doing his whole body routines. He definitely has passion and confidence in what he knows and shares this freely. His gym is small, but it surprisingly is set up for everything a big gym has. Rick has been consistent the past 3 months with good workouts, follow up evals, listening to my ideas, and always making sure I understand the exercise and that I'm doing them correctly. I highly recommend Whole Body Fitness by Rick. " Read more

Julie W. says, "As a new mom I don’t get much free time for myself. Lindsey took this into account and it was as if she knew just what I needed. Her message to me was about self care; it was so inspirational and just what I needed to hear. I also told Lindsey I was having some neck pains so she was sure to provide stretches during our session and ones I could do at home to help alleviate the pain. Highly recommend her!" Read more

Your Personal Trainers for Seniors questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

How much does a personal trainer cost?

A personal trainer charges $40 to $100 per hour session in the gym, or $100 to $175+ per hour session for a private, in-home personal trainer. A certified personal trainer charges higher rates when they have more years of experience, numerous certifications, or college degrees in fitness, nutrition, or kinesiology.

To save money on a personal trainer, book a package of 5,10, or 20 sessions. Most trainers discount the price if you purchase multiple sessions in advance. Another way to save money is to use the personal trainer at your local gym, YMCA, or senior center. Group lessons are also less expensive than one-on-one personal training if you feel comfortable training with a small group of seniors.

What does a personal trainer do?

A certified personal trainer develops safe and effective exercise programs with the goal of improving your fitness and overall health. A personal trainer evaluates your fitness level, personal goals, overall health, and eating habits to create your personalized training program.

For seniors, it is especially important that you give your trainer the information they need on your current medications, health issues, and past injuries so they can create a safe fitness plan for you.

Do I need a personal trainer at the gym?

While you don't need a personal trainer to workout at the gym, a personal trainer can be beneficial, especially for seniors who are new to exercise. A personal trainer can teach you about health and fitness while making sure you learn proper exercise techniques to avoid injury.

Some of the benefits of a personal trainer include:

  • Greater accountability to your coach to keep you on track
  • Motivate you more than working out on your own
  • Teach you to set challenging but reachable goals
  • Give you a variety of exercises to keep you engaged and get results
  • Monitor your workouts to ensure you are safe and injury-free

What should I avoid in a personal trainer?

As a senior, a good fitness coach can help you feel better and have a better quality of life. Don't risk your health by hiring a personal trainer that isn't qualified. Here are some tips to help you avoid a dangerous trainer:

  • Avoid trainers that don't perform a fitness evaluation to screen for flexibility, injuries, and medical conditions before your first workout.
  • Avoid trainers that don't listen to your goals or concerns.
  • Avoid trainers that push you to purchase costly supplements or products.
  • Avoid trainers that try to diagnose medical conditions. Only your doctor should diagnose health issues.

What questions should I ask a personal trainer?

Your trainer should be certified, experienced, and able to give you a safe and effective workout plan. Here are some questions you should ask any potential personal trainer:

  • What certifications do you carry?
  • How long have you been training seniors?
  • How long are the sessions and how much do you charge per session?
  • Do you offer discounts if a purchase a multi-session package?
  • What equipment will I use in my sessions?
  • Are you trained in CPR and first aid in case of an emergency?
  • What is your cancellation policy if I miss a session?

How do I choose a personal trainer?

  • Meet with your doctor before beginning any new fitness regime.
  • Confirm the trainer is certified and carries the proper liability insurance.

Reviews for Columbus senior fitness trainers

Recent success stories from people in the Columbus area.
Sean K.
His level of energy, and overall knowledge of his skills. Also, I've never had a trainer who also integrates the mind & spirit. Very cool.

Christine R.
Being a novice yogi myself (as in having attended 3 yoga classes in my lifetime), Lindsey had a way of easing my nerves and guiding me through the techniques, poses, and breathing patterns. We had our fair share of laughs as I tumbled to the floor trying new poses. But from the laughter came her patience and perseverance with new techniques and modifications to make each pose easier until I am able to progress with my balance and strength in the more challenging poses.

Greg continually switches it up, keeps our workouts interesting and challenging. He also keeps the big picture in mind by stressing that the information he gives us on working out, nutrition and rest is for the improvement in overall health and enjoyment of life no matter what our age.
