There is only so far spin classes and solitary weight training can take you. The monotony, the lack of information, the inability to study your own form and provide external motivation all conspire to make keep-fit a game of diminishing returns when played alone. A personal trainer is more than someone who will bark at you to keep moving, they are a partner in health, able to advise on the best exercise methods to meet your goals at your particular time in life, help with nutrition and sleep. They can work to your schedule and your travel plans. The trainers listed in the Spear’s list are private client advisers for your personal wellbeing.

Methodology
Spear’s publishes annual rankings of the top private client advisers, service providers and companies that cater to HNWs. The research unit conducts site visits, face-to-face and video interviews of the advisers involved and reviews data supplied by third party providers, as well as inviting companies and individuals to submit information using a form designed by Spear’s for the purpose. References by disinterested but knowledgeable third parties are our gold standard and all potential candidates for inclusion are independently scored using a proprietary framework tuned to each index, which forms the basis, but not the final result, of the Spear’s decisions to recommend.
