Many people don’t realize what a Personal
Trainer does. I hope that this article will
answer some of your questions like: What weight
should I start with? What exercise will help me
reach my goal? Should I eat before or after my
workout? By having a trainer, you have the
confidence of knowing that you are doing the
best workout for you.
People think having a trainer is expensive.
Depending on the area you live and the program
you choose, trainers can actually be less
expensive than paying those advance fees at the
gym and then never going to use it. With a
trainer, the program is designed especially for
you. Your program is made to fit your goals and
ability. Your weights are set up for you. The
trainer demonstrates each exercise and refreshes
your memory each time. Your form, reps and
weights are monitored and increased as your
strength and ability allows. There is no guess
work on your part.
Working with a trainer also means no waiting
on machines. Being able to move from one
exercise to the next, without a long break
waiting for others to get finished with the
machines, gives you an aerobic workout right
along with your lifting program. Having a
scheduled appointment helps you keep your
exercise commitment. When you go to a gym, an
instructor, not a certified trainer, may show
you how to use the equipment the first time but
then you are on your own. The next time you go,
it is hoped you will remember how to use the
machines. You may not be sure when it is time to
increase and if you push yourself too fast, that’s
when injuries occur.
If you’ve been thinking about starting an
exercise program, remember the benefits a
trainer can add: personalized program just for
you, guidance for proper form to prevent injury,
confidence of knowing your progression is
monitored and advanced properly, support for
questions, a scheduled appointment for
motivation, no advance fees or contract for a
long period of time, personal attention for your
needs and other benefits you can only get by
working with a trainer.
Many of my clients tell me they wouldn’t
stick to it without the appointment and how much
better they feel after their workout, both
mentally as well as physically. Let a trainer
guide you to better health for yourself and your
family. Give me a call and let’s get started
on your healthier future.
