Who is doing the coaching?
Ask the name of the person who will supervise the session, the credential they hold, its current status, their insurance and the limits of their work. Will a substitute be assigned? How do they respond to pain or a restriction from a clinician? These questions establish scope and responsibility before a training style or personality enters the decision.
Where and when does it happen?
Get the full street address, suite, entrance and exact appointment hours. Is the room private, shared or inside a condominium? Does the venue permit independent coaching, and is membership included? Check the travel time at the hour you would attend, including changing and the return trip. Ask about access, washrooms and a quiet slot when those are relevant to you.
What does the first month contain?
Ask whether the first visit is an assessment, a coached workout or both. Request an outline of frequency, exercises, independent work and the first review date. How is technique corrected? What happens when equipment is unavailable or you miss a week? A trainer who can explain these decisions is easier to compare than one who offers a generic promise of motivation.
What is the complete price?
Obtain session length, taxes, facility dues, travel, assessment cost, minimum package, expiry, rescheduling and refund terms in writing. Use the same questions with at least two candidates if possible. Compare their written answers against your goal and schedule.
