What makes a good Personal Trainer?

Do you know the difference between an excellent personal trainer and a bad one?

When you're forking out your hard-earned cash, you deserve to be in the know...

Spotting a bad trainer is a doddle:

They're glued to their phone.

They spend 20 minutes gossiping about their weekend.

They park you on a treadmill while they chinwag with mates. And they're always clock-watching.

But 'average' trainers make up 90% of the fitness industry and are trickier to suss out.

They talk a good game.

They look the part.

And they seem clued up in the gym.

But they're the sort who'll have you shelling out dosh month after month, year after year, without delivering any solid results or clear outcomes for your money.

So, what makes an excellent trainer?

Put simply, it's this: They take your results to heart.

They're with you for every rep.

They're dead focused on you and your goal.

And they make every tick of your workout count.

But it's more than that.

They're with you beyond the gym floor, too.

Helping with accountability in your diet & recovery, delivering usable information to help with lifestyle factors away from the gym, and ultimately keeping you on track.

This level of care and dedication can't be faked.

It's a professional ethos we've grafted hard to embed in every one of our trainers at Pioneer Performance over the past nine years.

But it's a rare find in the fitness industry.

Top-drawer trainers like this do exist, but they're like gold dust.

Even for us at Pioneer Performance – a business that only interviews 1 in every 10 personal training applicants.

(A new record as we are currently hiring!)

So, for the average Joe, stumbling upon a truly good trainer is like finding a needle in a haystack.

And even if you find that rare gem, chances are they're too stretched to give you their undivided attention 100% of the time.

We're different.

We unearth great trainers and give them the freedom to focus solely on what's most important – you, the client.

What you get with Pioneer Performance is a refined personal training accountability system, ensuring the standards and results you receive are consistently top-notch.

We manage performance at every level.

We are always looking for more ways to nudge the needle on your results and your experience from the moment you walk in.

You're not just getting a trainer; you're getting a team, proven processes, and an ecosystem all designed to deliver a real return on your investment.

If you're after a budget trainer, we're not your cup of tea.

If you're looking for a 'rent a friend' to count your reps, perhaps we're not the right fit.

But if you're after something special – a place where you partner with dedicated pros who ensure your hard work pays off with measurable results – then there's nothing quite like Pioneer Performance.

If you are ready to invest in your long-term health, we are ready to help you move forward.
