Trainer DO's
By: The SmashFit Team

Smashfit is building its reputation on excellence. We want our clients to have the best possible experience by matching them with you, the most knowledgeable trainer for their need. But along with impeccable knowledge comes superb customer service and professionalism. Please read and follow our TRAINER DO's.

Ask for a full medical history.
First and foremost, is our client's safety. If you don't have expertise in a client's particular health issue, then you should advise them to seek another trainer.

Conduct a fitness test.
Before you begin training your new client, you should always test your client's strength and agility. It's not wise to rely on your client's opinion of their fitness.

Be on time.
Don't be a flake.

Call if need to cancel or if you are running late.
Again, don't be a flake.

Keep your certifications current.
Smashfit does periodical certification checks. This not only protects our clients but it also protects you, our valued trainers, from "impostors".

Keep your cell phone tucked away during your training session.
No-one likes the distraction of listening to someone else's phone conversation, especially on their dime. Please be respectful.

Have a contract.
There's no better way to seal the deal than with a signed contract. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it should include your name (or the name of your company), your client's name, an hourly rate, the number of agreed upon sessions, the total amount, and the date the amount is due. A signature from both parties protects both parties.

Smashfit Trainers MUST Have:
   - liability insurance
   - at least one year of hands on experience
   - up-to-date certifications
   - up-to-date certifications in CPR and first aid
