| WHY PERSONAL TRAINING? Many people ask the question. Many wonder, "What can I get from a personal trainer that I can't get from the health magazines—or from my workout partner?" Those approaches often lead to a lot of frustration, when people don't see the results that they had hoped for. Weight training and aerobic training, when done properly, lead a person to looking and feeling great. Unfortunately, when they are done incorrectly, they can lead to disappointment and injury. |

Training with a personal trainer gives you many different advantages: Knowledge All personal trainers must be certified. This means that they have demonstrated that they know enough about training principles to receive a certification to train other individuals. Certification requires continuing education and ongoing practice of the principles. What this means to you, the client, is that you now have that knowledge working for you! Studies have shown that training with a certified personal trainer leads to 80% better results, 3x faster! Proper technique It's common in a gym to see people using improper technique and poor form. Not only does this lead to less-than-desired results; it also leads to injury. By training with a professional, you ensure that you're doing your exercises properly,and getting the best results with none of the injuries. Personalization One of the big advantages to personal training is that the trainer develops a program specifically for you and your goals. Sure, you can get a program out of a magazine or the internet, but is it the right one for you? Is it going to get you to your goals? Is it going to change when you need it to? Does it answer all your questions regarding the program? Rmember, following a generic workout plan can actually be detrimental to you. By using a personal trainer you get a personalized program and all your questions answered when they arise. Fun! You must enjoy working out. When you have fun, not only are you more motivated , but you achieve your fitness goals! Many of our new clients' first complaint is that they find training boring. Once we show them some fun new ways to exercise, rather than the same old staple programs, they start seeing results and enjoying it! |
