Starting your fitness journey with a personal trainer is a big and exciting step toward your health goals. Whether you’re seeking strength, mobility, energy, or simply support with accountability, your first training session is a great place to start. Here’s how to make the most of it.
What to Expect in Your First Personal Training Session
Your first personal training session at The Well Personal Fitness is all about you. We’ll get to know where you are today and where you’d like to go—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
During this session, you can expect:
-
A private, welcoming space focused solely on your goals
-
An open conversation about your current routine, lifestyle, and health history
-
A functional movement assessment to understand how your body moves
-
A gentle introduction to your first workout, tailored to your ability
What to Wear
Dress comfortably in workout clothes that allow for a full range of motion. Think breathable fabrics, fitted but not tight. Sneakers with proper support are a must.
Pro tip: Bring layers! You may warm up quickly, but it’s good to start warm.
What to Bring
To make your first session smooth, be sure to bring:
-
Water bottle – Stay hydrated
-
A small towel (optional) – For comfort
-
Any relevant health information – Past injuries, medications, or doctor’s notes
-
An open mind – We’re here to help, not judge
Come As You Are
You don’t need to “get fit first” to work with a trainer. That’s what we’re here for. Whether you’re nervous, excited, or somewhere in between, know that you’re in a judgment-free space designed to support your pace and progress.
After the First Personal Training Session: Next Steps
We’ll check in with how you’re feeling, answer questions, and outline next steps. You may feel sore—that’s normal! Hydrate, eat a nourishing meal, and get plenty of rest.
Pro tip: Light movement the next day (like walking or stretching) can help reduce soreness.
