As a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach in Greenville, North Carolina working with adults over 40 since 2015, I share real data from over a dozen recent free trial clients at my Greenville, NC gym, walking through exactly why some stuck with their fitness coach and others dropped off. I cover how to spot a bad fit with a personal trainer, red flags to avoid at big box gyms, why accountability and coaching style matter more than you think, and my practical checklist for choosing the right personal trainer or nutrition coach — budget, schedule, flexibility, and committing for the right reasons. If you're searching for a personal trainer near Greenville NC or a nutrition coach for people over 40, this episode gives you the questions to ask before you sign up.AFFILIATE LINKS:Try Tonal for 30 Days Risk Free: https://tonal.sjv.io/FIT40CONNECT WITH ME ONLINEFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/bryan.fitzsimmonsInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/coach_fitzz/⁠⁠⁠⁠Tiktok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@coach_fitzz?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@bryan_fit40 This is a public episode.
