YAPANA: Hi Geo! First off, thank you for taking time to anwser some questions for the Attraction Tips eZine. This will be a brief interview. I want to cover a couple of key points about your services and about what to look for when seeking a trainer.
DERICE: My pleasure Adriel.
YAPANA: Do you have a fitness market niche?
DERICE: Actually I do Adriel. I specialize in working with busy women between the ages of 21 and 60 who have very little time to workout but want to look and feel better than they've ever felt or looked before, all in the comfort of their own home. In the time we're living in, who has time to wait for a cardio machine for 60 minutes or even take an hour commuting to and from the gym. If you look at that alone that's already 2 hours. I don't know about you but the people I work with don't have 2 hours to waste, thus why I do what I do.
YAPANA: What should someone look for in a personal trainer and why?
DERICE: To be honest there's been a recent buzz about people hiring personal trainers who are no where near qualified to work with people. If you're looking for a personal trainer, there are some very important questions you need to know. Number one is are they certified and if they are by who. The top certification organizations out there for personal trainers are National Strength and Conditioning Association(NSCA), National Academy of Sports Medicine(NASM), the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM), and also American Council of Exercise(ACE). I'd pretty much stick to the first three if I was recommending someone pick a personal trainer. Another issue is insurance. Is your trainer covered. Trainers who work for a gym is often covered by the gym, but trainers who are independant contractors often have to provide their own insurance. Lastly you want to know who has the personal trainer worked with and does he have a portfolio or a book of testimonials proving that people have worked with him and are not only satisfied with the services that the trainer provided, but are blown away. Some trainers will post testimonials of people just in general and that can be fine but if they provide emails or ways to contact those people in the testimonials that in itself adds credibility.
YAPANA: If you want to give someone advice (general population) a
kick-start to a healthier lifestyle, what advice would you gives them?
DERICE: The best advice I could give them is to just get started. Do not wait for the perfect situation to start making a change. Many will wait till January 1st to change their lifestyle or others wait till Monday to start a new lifestyle. Forget that, take control of your life right now. If you start now you could lose 8 lbs before New Year's is even here. Some other great tips is hiring a qualified personal trainer to help jump start your fitness program and create a foundation. Have a diary where you can write that the way you feel when you eat and how you feel about your workouts. Lastly have a support group. Having people who will encourage you, motivate you to succeed is extremely important. You can find people just like you online in fitness forums, message boards or even ask your trainer to set one up for you. There's just countless tips that you can use to jump start your healthy lifestyle but it all begins with the mindset that you want to get it done and get it done now. Life is too short, it really is and when you decide today, right now to change it, you won't regret it.
YAPANA: Thanks Geo, is there anything else you'd like to say or share with the audience?
DERICE: Well, I would like to truly say that things have to change in the world. The world is getting bigger and bigger and it's pretty sad. To think that many children will grow up, get married and not have their parents at their wedding because of heart diseases that could have been preventable is truly sad. I'm on a mission to make people happy again and that starts from within. It starts by making the commitment to change the way you think. Changing the way you are on the inside will drastically change the way you look on the outside.

That's where I share my insider tips to success and I really want for everyone reading this to have the opportunity to achieve their absolute best. I hope Adriel you bring me back on here so we can continue to help people achieve bodies beyond their wildest dreams.
