Celebrity fitness trainer Gunnar Peterson has trained the likes of Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Hugh Jackman and Nick Cannon (pictured above).  He shares his tips on how to get the most out of working with a professional trainer.

Make the time - don’t book a session when you know you’ll be too tired or you will cancel.

Change it up – have your trainer give you a variety of exercises so that you don’t get bored.

Make your trainer work for you – be sure your trainer is assisting you in every way from handing you the next weight, to setting up your next exercise.

Don’t be too chatty – Gunnar says it’s great to have a close relationship with a trainer, but being overly chatty can distract you from getting the best workout.
