    Specialist vs. Generalist: Who Should You Hire?

    Deciding between a jack-of-all-trades and a master-of-one for your specific fitness goals.

    If you're a general population client looking to lose a few pounds and move better, a generalist personal trainer is usually a fantastic choice. They have a broad understanding of fitness principles and can keep your workouts varied and engaging. However, if you have a highly specific goal—like qualifying for the Boston Marathon, stepping on a bodybuilding stage, or recovering from a complex surgery—you need a specialist. Specialists command higher rates but possess the nuanced knowledge required for elite performance and complex problem-solving.
