Press Release Summary: - New Year's Resolutions mean millions of people have begun
exercise programs in an effort to get and stay healthy. Today, busy Americans who
want to get fit are able to enlist the help of in-home personal trainers, the
trainers who make house calls for your health, to help them meet their goals.

The Top 5 criteria in selecting an in-home personal trainer are:
1. Making sure your trainer is certified through a nationally accepted program.
2. Meet the trainer in person to make sure you have a rapport and a mutual
understanding of the goals you are both working to achieve.

to your medical professional to determine which exercises are within your physical
restrictions and abilities.
4. The personal training program should be customized to match your abilities and
goals, not a one-size fits all approach that you could get from a book or DVD.
5. The trainer should design a progressive program that will allow you to achieve
your long-term
goals.



Press Release Body: Waukesha, Wisconsin- New Year's Resolutions mean millions of
people have begun exercise programs in an effort to get and stay healthy. Today,
busy Americans who want to get fit are able to enlist the help of in-home personal
trainers, the trainers who make house calls for your health, to help them meet their
goals.

According to Jeff Mrochinski, President of JAM Pro Fitness, LLC, an on-site
personal-training business, "the number one thing you want in an in-home personal
trainer is someone who is reputable. You want someone who has some credentials to
let you know that they have an idea of what they are really talking about. The
American Council on Exercise or ACE provides certifications, as does the National
Association of Sports Medicine. You should ask someone about their professional
credentials."

"Any trainer worth their salt will provide you with a free in-home consultation.
There is a special relationship between the trainer and the client, and you need to
develop trust and understanding in each other. You need to be able to sit down and
decide on goals and agree on how you are going to go about to attain them. This is
why it's called personal training," said Mrochinski.

According to the National Sporting Good Association in 2006 exercise equipment sales
totaled $5.2 billion.

"Many people are purchasing home exercise equipment this time of year and often they
need an in-home trainer to teach them how to properly use this equipment to achieve
the results they desire. An effective trainer will assess each client and customize
a program to help them reach their long-time goals, not just come in and show them a
bunch of random exercises," according to Mrochinski.

"It is vitally important for individuals with health issues that the personal
trainer be in contact with their client's medical professional. We want to make
sure our clients are getting the vast benefits of exercise, while avoiding injury or
contraindications."
