I agree with all that is said. I would also add that they should allow a parent to be in the room while the session is going on. I offer both personal training and massage therapy and anyone under the age of 18 I actually require an adult to be in the same room during the session.

Another aspect of working with children I would consider is how they relate to your child and how your child learns. Some people work well with a drill sergant style of coaching, others work and develop better with a encouraging style. Each child thrives differently on different training formats. Also consider how much the trainer includes you in the conversation or their coaches expectations.

I don’t know about specific guidelines, but i would look into them having ample experience working with children.

Hello Ciaran Luxford,

Also, don’t forget about child abuse history background check.
Take care,
Natalie.
