Cultural Tip
In Italy many personal trainers work freelance and are certified by federations such as FIP (Federazione Italiana Personal Trainer). It’s common to ask for their certification (e.g., ‘Hai la certificazione FIP?’) and to check reviews on local forums or the gym’s bulletin board. Politeness matters: start with ‘Scusa, potresti…’ before launching into the request.
