personal trainers

[may75]

Hi :

me and my partner are currently training with a PT , it's been 6 weeks now , the guy is really supportive and good .

we were thinking about giving him a thank you card for his time , as well as a bottle of wine , I was thinking about giving him a gift card worth around 50£ from debenhams but not sure about it as he doesn't like shopping .

would it be ok to give him cash instead ???

what is the view about tipping your PT ? would be interested in hearing views from other PT's.

our PT is really good , though we pay him through our gym , I think he deserve our recognition of his hard work.

any views or suggestions are greatly welcomed.

thanks

Wow!
I work as a PT and would love to have you as a client!!!
As well as being supportive(part of his job) has he got you results, I mean real results that you were looking for and he talked about?
If not, then I would hold off the gifts - if he has, then go for it! I'm sure he'd be more than chuffed!
I would say 6 weeks is maybe a bit early for gifts, but then again, it's personal..

Go careful with the cash thing, especially in a gym as it could cause "issues". You could always asked him to meet you after his shift or out of the building to give it to him.
Alternatively, does he have an IPOD? Itunes vouchers?

Thanks , both me and my husband really noticed a big difference in our fittness level , I am a bit worried about the cash issue thing , not sure how it's going to look espcially after 6 weeks!! I might just go with gift vouchers , safer option I think !!! Thanks for your input , it's really useful , will ask about the ipod

No trouble.
No offence, but pretty much anyone could get someone fitter. When people first start and exercise regime, you tend to get "beginners benefits", where your body is not used to exercise and adapts quickly giving some quite good results, initially.

Are your goals weight loss? If so, has he given advice on this, and have you lost much?
If not, maybe hold out on the gift...

However, it's up to you, and could work to your benefit, as it you gave himse something, he should appreciate it, and may give you more attention and focus than before?!!
