Do you know the origins of
the training programs or system you are using?
Who designed it? What is their background? What are their credentials
and experience? Beware of certifications disguised as qualifications. I value
experience and academic credentials over commercial certifications. I am always
wary if a person has too many letters after their name.
Is this a commercial
venture that requires you to purchase equipment? Who are their sponsors? Who
actually designs and writes the training program? If is a training center who
actually implements the program – it is a qualified coach or an intern? Do they
actually coach or do they just lead you through the workout?
Do the results of the
program speak for themselves or are there a long list of celebrity and all star
endorsers? Is it individual? How much does it cost? Are the claims for the
program valid?
