Have to second Tommaso Sanna at Oak Park Fitness (www.oakparkfitness.com). He is always available and texts frequently. I can tell he is truly interested in seeing me succeed at my goals.

Texting and emailing with clients is essential! Keeps them on point and they always know I am checking in! They also text me questions during their workouts and I’ll happily send a pic or video of the exercise if they are not completing it correctly. Getting people to reach their goals is my goal and I’ll do whatever it takes to get them there, 24/7!

Have to add Rob Sulaver (www.bandanatraining.com) of Peak Performance training facility in Chelsea. He keeps me on my toes in and out of the gym, and his texts / check-ins ensure I don’t slack. Plus he’s constantly tweeting (@bandanatraining) and FB’ing fitness tips – major bonus.

Golly Gosh. I wish I was more famous to get a trainer like this. I would seriously not pick at my kids dinners.

This is one of the reasons why I keep going back to Barry’s Bootcamp — the trainers genuinely care about helping me see results, even outside of class. Getting a note on FB after a workout that says “Keep up that hustle” helps me stay motivated, and is a reminder that someone else is investing their time into my progression.
PS – I 100% agree with Rate Your Burn about Jesse Alexander being the KING of Social Media for the NY fitness scene!

This was really interesting. It illustrated how important over-delivering is in a service industry like personal training.

My trainer Cindy Lai (Cindy Lai Fitness) always goes the extra mile to text and ask how I’m feeling after our workouts. It’s reassuring knowing that she is available to me well beyond the hour we spend together a few days a week. Plus, it just shows she cares.
