So, you’ve decided to take that second big fitness step. Now that you’re going to the gym (semi) regularly, you’ve noticed the ordinary folk sweating themselves silly next to uber-fit men and women who kneel or stand next to them, egging them on.

Spend some time watching the trainers working with their clients. Ask around about the trainer’s motivational style and preferred modes of training to get an idea of good fit. Talk to prospective trainers to find out if their personalities are good fits with yours. Pick one you feel you can trust, who will listen to you and to whom you will listen.

It doesn’t (necessarily) involve any special equipment, can be done (nearly) anywhere.
