Good questions
Before you begin.
Are online photos and videos enough to judge a trainer?
They are a starting point. A live conversation and a visit, when allowed, tell you more.
What claims should make me cautious?
Promises of fast or permanent results, pressure to pay on the spot and refusal to explain methods.
How much should price count?
It matters, but it should not be the only factor. A fair price for clear methods and good communication is a better deal.
Can I ask for references?
Yes. Speak with past clients if the trainer offers them and note how they describe the handoff.
