I'm a personal trainer and a fitness instructor so I'm basically paid to be the giant pain in the ass who gets people out of bed and exercising every day!

I maintain a client referral list and make cold contacts; I also promote the gym and fitness services via face book and other social media platforms.

A successful training session is that, when you and your client attain the goal of your training, that the client satisfy the outcome of the several session you've done. that the client see the result itself.

4. Tell me how do you keep your fitness knowledge up to date?

I browse the net for new and upcoming products or exercise techniques in the market. I try read as much as possible but most the knowledge comes from chatting to other trainers.

5. Tell me what workouts do you enjoy?

Be honest here -- but also keep in mind that the employer might be trying to understand what you're passionate about and what you'll be well-suited to do at the facility. If the employer is looking for someone to do extensive weight training workouts with clients, for example, it might be a good idea to tell him that you enjoy weight training.

6. Explain me why did you decide to become a personal trainer?

I am an ACE and AFAA certified gym and fitness trainer.

8. Tell me how will you find new clients?

Once again, a sales question. The employer probably won't want to hear that you're going to wait for new clients to simply walk in the door. Talk instead about how you use social media, blogs, conferences and networking events, and business cards or promotional materials to bring in your own clients.

9. Tell me how do you develop rapport with clients?

Establishing rapport with a client is paramount to keeping them coming back. To prepare for this important question, review the fitness trainer materials you used when you obtained certification, so the basic tenets of client rapport are fresh in your mind. That includes taking time to learn the client's likes and dislikes and maintaining good communication, reminds the American Council on Exercise.

10. Explain what nutrition education have you received?

As part of my PT training I was required to go on a nutrition workshop, which taught the usefulness of macro-nutrients rather than focusing sourly on caloric content.
