Are you feeling a bit stuck in your fitness journey at the moment and not sure what to do next? Having your own personal trainer in Singapore could be just what you need – someone to mentor and guide you to accomplish your goals. A top-notch trainer will tailor workouts that suit your current ability, but landing one that ticks all your boxes can boost your progress.

So, what questions should you ask these fitness gurus? Here are the top six questions to help you find your perfect training partner:

1. What Are Your Qualifications and Experience as a Personal Trainer?

Before letting someone else take the lead with your fitness, it’s key to know who you can rely on. An accredited coach with years of experience under their belt can give tailored advice. Whether you’re fresh to get in shape or a total pro, they can design sessions tailored for you. 

2. Do You Offer a Customised Training Plan?

Everyone’s fitness journey is unique. That’s why it’s worth asking if a personal trainer provides tailored programmes. A great trainer will consider your health, current ability, past niggles and overall aims. They’ll then design a training schedule just for you. The plans that they will give you will make sure that you’re enjoying your workout as you hit your goals. You could be aiming to lose weight, gain muscle, or just improve your overall fitness, this plan made for you is the way to go.

3. Can You Work with My Preferred Training Location? (Home, Condo Gym, or Local Gym)

Location matters. Whether you prefer training at a gym nearby, your condo gym, or even from the comfort of your living room through online training, convenience can make or break consistency. Ask your trainer if they’re open to flexible locations so you can stay dedicated every step of the way, no matter where you’re most comfortable. LTH Fitness offers personalised training in multiple gym locations around Singapore. 

4. What Type of Personal Training Packages Do You Offer?

Trainers provide all sorts of personal training options, ranging from individual sessions to workouts you can do with a friend. These options often target various goals, like losing weight, gaining muscle, or overall body transformation. This means you can find a training package that suits both your goals and budget. Whether you’re after a weekly routine or something more intense, there should be an option there to keep you on track and help you reach what you set out to do.

5. How Do You Monitor Progress Toward My Goals?

Keeping track of progress is key to any successful fitness journey. A great trainer will do this by monitoring changes in body fat, strength, and even posture. Checking your progress regularly will keep you motivated and ensure you’re on the right path no matter what your aim is–from building muscles to boosting your health. Progress tracking can be that extra nudge, making each training session more meaningful.

6. What Is Your Coaching Style and Approach to Motivation?

The way a trainer motivates you can make each PT session either rewarding or a chore you dread. A top-notch coach knows how to make workouts fun and worthwhile, adjusting each session to match your mood, energy, and progress. 

Having a supportive trainer with you means you’ll have someone to keep you motivated throughout, much like a good friend cheering you on in a marathon (think Rocky Balboa and Adrian). This positive support is crucial for reaching your fitness goals over the long term.

Final Thoughts

It is important to choose a personal trainer in Singapore who knows how to help you from scratch–not just someone who’ll teach you how to exercise. A great trainer customises their support to suit your needs and goals. They’ll work around your schedule to deliver results.


A trainer who understands you and what you want to achieve can help make positive changes to your health and well-being.
