Why Should You Work With A Certified Personal Trainer?

If you're reading this, you're probably considering whether or not you should hire a personal trainer to help with your fitness goals. Here, I'll give you 5 reasons to help answer that question:

1. Personalized Programs & Results

Arguably, one of the best perks of working with a Personal Trainer is that you will be given a program that is completely custom to YOU. Your current fitness level, aspiring goals, activities that you enjoy, and any special considerations you may have such as past injuries or health issues are all taken into consideration when you hire a Personal Trainer to work for you. Whether you aim to lose weight, build muscle, increase endurance, or improve flexibility, their job is to create & tailor a fitness regimen to match your ambitions exactly.

When you are equipped with a Personal Trainer whose program has been specifically designed for you in mind, you are more likely to achieve your goals and stick with the program than those who try to squeeze their way into what are commonly known as "cookie-cutter" programs. These programs are created without the individual person in mind and cover the most simple of principles to steer a general population in a somewhat healthy direction. The problem is, the general population is incredibly diverse when it comes to their fitness levels, experience with exercise, diet's, health condition, and even mental & emotional health.

If you were to buy into a "cookie-cutter" program, you'd quickly find that - though you may initially make some progress, that overall you are not finding what you are looking for in a fitness program; and quitting comes too soon. It is not uncommon for those who invest time and money into "cookie-cutter" programs to find themselves eventually circling back and investing into a Personal Trainer who then designs a program that is built upon listening to your concerns & providing you with what you've been looking for all along.

2. Safety and Injury Prevention

If you are new to the fitness world, it's probably safe to assume that you are somewhat nervous about stepping foot into a gym - let alone doing an exercise incorrectly. Not only is there the struggle of dealing with the social anxiety of unfamiliar onlookers, but the potential of hurting yourself should you do something wrong or lift incorrectly. You shouldn't have to struggle with these internal fears or anxieties.

With a Personal Trainer by your side, you have an expert in safety & gym experience there ready and willing to share all the knowledge that they possess with you. Trainers have spent years in various workout settings, and know exactly what to do, where to go, and how to ensure that you get the best workout possible with safety being the top priority. And the best part is, they WANT to tell you it all! They do!

Personal Trainers have often learned through painful experiences themselves; and wouldn't want the same for anyone else. So, some of the safety practices they may teach you include proper exercise form, how to care for injuries both in and out of the gym, where to go should you need additional professional attention, and so much more. These safety insights are just a small portion of the expertise a Personal Trainer can provide to both new and experienced clients.

Remember, it would be better to invest a smaller portion in learning it the correct way without injury, than to go through the process of learning it incorrectly and paying the price that unsafe exercise may bring.

3. Motivation and Accountability

No matter the experience level, background knowledge, incredible goal, or inspiring passion you may have, there is ONE key aspect of having a trainer that everyone seeks: Accountability.

Personal Trainers' sole purpose is to work with clients in ways that inspire their clients to work hard and reach their goals. Trainers understand that holding their clients accountable is at the center of what makes their job rewarding. Therefore, Personal Trainers are known to get creative when it comes to finding methods of holding their clients accountable to their goals; and they welcome you to share motivations that you have that would further enable them to increase accountability on both sides.

Ultimately, think about having a Personal Trainer as having a cheerleader on your side no matter what. They want you to succeed. They want you to reach your goals. They want you to be happy. And a good Personal Trainer will show it through regular & honest accountability.

4. Enhanced Results and Efficiency

The purpose of enrolling in any working with a Personal Trainer is to not only ensure that you truly find the results you are looking for, but that you don't waste time & energy in the wrong places. The number of people who have spent excessive time and money on fad diets, fancy Bowflex machines, "miracle-pills", and so on are quickly discovering that there is no real short cut in health. That coming to terms with the journey ahead sooner than later is truly the best way to save on time, energy & money in the long-run.

Though the journey may sometimes be long, Personal Trainers are here to ensure that you find the correct path as quickly as possible; and to make changes when needed, rather than waiting until it's too late. Should you work with a Personal Trainer, it is very common for Trainers to make adjustments to programs as you progress closer towards your fitness goals.. Reasons for this may vary greatly, but having an expert Trainer to make those adjustments quickly for you should assure you that they have your best interests at heart.

5. Variety and Engagement

Lastly, it is safe to assume that the kind of program that you would want to enroll in and ultiamtely reside in for a long while would be a program that you thoroughly ENJOY! Right? Why would you want to be a part of something that you dread each and every day? With a Personal Trainer at the helm of your program, the are able to mix things up with new exercises and techniques to keep you excited about working out. This regular change in exercise and routine means that you are constantly challenged which prevents plateaus and furthers progress.
