The most important thing to understand is what you want to get out of the agreement.  This is what you’ll need to clearly relate in the interview. 

It sounds basic, but try it right now.  If I asked you,

"What is it you’re specifically hoping to accomplish with your health Mr. Jones?"

Would you have a clear and easily relatable answer?

It’s worth spending the time making sure before you sit down with someone.  This is where expectations are established and goals are set.

Now it could be that you don’t know the answer to that question.  That is in fact why you want to talk to a personal trainer, and that’s okay.  That’s your answer when you get that question.  Just don’t try to come up with something "on the fly" because you feel like not knowing is not ok.

I’ve met with many folks who want to lay out what they’re facing physically on the table and have someone there to help them sort something out.  Someone to tell them what’s realistic and what’s not.  What’s attainable and what isn’t.

Information is the most powerful weapon concerning your health.  Maybe you have a clear idea of where you are and where you want to be.  If that’s the case, you’re in a position to keep the meeting short and get solid facts and expectations. 

If that’s not the case, It’s probably worth the consultation to get some hard data and some direction.
