15 Reasons Why You Should Hire a Personal Trainer
Accountability - We have to be honest with ourselves, many us need help being held accountable for the choices we make on a daily basis. Personal Trainers are there to keep you accountable. He or She will review what you have eaten since the last time you met, and go over the progress you’ve made. For those that need help staying accountable, hiring a personal trainer is a great way to do it.
Motivation - Speaking of the Biggest Loser? Well, it’s not exactly like that unless you are going on a reality TV series. However, a good personal trainer knows how to motivate you in different ways, while working out, to get you moving in the right direction.
Personalized Fitness Plan - Everyone’s body is different and we all carry fat in different areas and hold water differently, so your personal trainer will start off by giving you a Biometric Screening to first understand your individual biology. Then, your personal trainer will design a customized fitness plan to help you achieve your overall goal.
Faster Results - Staying on a regimen and not deviating from it can be tough; that is why Personal trainers are really good at helping us do that (which is why we hire them). Staying consistent and working hard will give us the results we expect and it happens faster than you think.
Encouragement - We all face defeat and feel discouraged at times. Having someone there to encourage you when you need it the most, can have an incredible effect on your workout. Self-esteem and confidence boosters are the things we need to be successful.
Diversity in Routines - Ever stop working out because you get bored? When you do the same routine, not only do you get tired of it, but you also don’t get the desired results. Switching up your workout routine is key to delivering optimum results.
Knowledge – A “Certified” Personal Trainer means they have acquired the knowledge necessary to teach you how to understand your body better and how to best meet your individual needs. Knowledge is the first step to solving any problem areas.
Nutrition Plans - Don’t have time to look up recipes? Not to worry! Your Personal Trainer can help you with meal plans so that you eat right and don’t starve.
Challenge - Some of us just like a challenge, If that’s you, then hire a personal trainer. They will give you the challenge of a lifetime. Maybe you’re pretty fit already, but you’re still wanting that six pack.
Actively Monitoring Your Movements - Practice makes perfect, right? No, Perfect Practice Makes Perfect! There may not be such a thing as perfect practice, but we can get pretty close. Personal Trainers monitor our movements to make sure we are working out the proper way. This will keep us from sustaining injuries and help us get better results.
Learn Discipline- Sometimes you need the extra motivation to stay disciplined, but after sticking with it for a while, it becomes easier by yourself. Personal Trainers give us that extra push in the very beginning, but ultimately it’s up to us to stay on track.
Successful people hang around successful people. This saying holds true in the fitness world, as well. If you surround yourself with people who are passionate about fitness, you will be motivated and passionate about it too.
Learn New Skills- When you start working with a personal trainer, they will teach you routines, workouts, and facts about your body that you would have never known otherwise. Personal Trainers have a wealth of knowledge and it’s exciting to learn something new each time you meet with them.
Energy- If you feel like you aren’t getting everything you can out of life, you probably aren’t. Working out and being healthy will improve every aspect of your life. At work, at home, with your family and yes, even your love life, hiring a personal trainer can help you do that!
Get over your fears- Sometimes we can be our worst enemy and facing change isn’t easy. Having the extra support from a Personal Trainer to guide you and lean on can give you the confidence that you need
A Few More Reasons to have a Personal Trainer
Mix It Up with Cross Training. Trainers use a variety of effective workouts based upon your specific goals
Teaching vs. Showing. Instead of only showing you how to use exercise machines, a trainer will teach you principles of exercise that will stay with you for the rest of your life
Set-A-Pace.Through professional guidance, trainers will teach you what pace and intensity level is required to get into great shape
Turn Weaknesses Into Strengths.Trainers have the opportunity to see where your weaknesses and strengths are, to develop a program specific to your needs
Accountability.Trainers provide necessary accountability and motivation to maximize results
1. Reduce injury risk
Ignorance and poor execution are common catalysts for injury. A knowledgeable personal trainer will improve your exercise execution and skill so that you reduce your risk for injury and get the most out of each activity.
2. Personal trainers are inexpensive
It’s true! Most trainers will charge between $60 and $80 per session and many offer discounts if you buy a package of sessions. And what’s this worth to you?
Let’s say you purchase a four-session package at $70 per hour, which amounts to $280. Say you do one session per week, so your package is good for one month. Now, add up your luxury “feel good” monthly expenses for items such as clothes, shoes, cigarettes, dinners, alcohol, entertainment, etc. Is it more than $280? Most likely! Try cutting down a little (not completely) on some of these expenses and put some of your savings towards your health and future!
3. Long-term guidance and motivation
As we age, it gets harder to stay motivated towards exercise, so having a trainer guide and motivate you can keep you going. Certified personal trainers can provide structure and do the thinking for you so you can focus on the “doing” rather than the planning. Initially, you may need to see your trainer more often to get on the right track; however, once you have learned what to do and how to do it, you can spread your sessions out to every 3-4 weeks. Consider these sessions your “review, revise and revitalize” check-ups.
4. Accountability
Your personal fitness trainer is there, waiting for you to show up. You can’t just find excuses not to go to the gym when someone is expecting you! Plus, your trainer reminds you of your reasons for wanting to exercise, and helps you understand why it’s so important even when you feel as though you could talk yourself out of it!
5. Variety and creativity
Trainers are professionals who are well versed in making exercise “fun” and more interesting by offering a wide variety of creative exercises. Too many of us get bored with our gym routines and start finding reasons not to go. Keep it interesting!
5. Learn life-long skills
The role of a personal trainer is to provide you with the right knowledge, resources, guidance, training and skills so that you can do “it” for yourself! He or she is there to support you as you work towards enhancing the quality of your life now and in the future. Let your trainer guide you and teach you how to be your own personal trainer!
6. Put the “personal” in your training
A skilled trainer will assess your specific needs, injuries, health conditions or training goals (that 10km race you’re dreaming about, for example). The trainer will then develop a personalized plan with clear timelines and short-term achievement goals that will safely and effectively enable you to succeed.
7. Learn effective and efficient techniques
Spending too much time at the gym with not enough results? Personal trainers can save you plenty of time and energy wasted doing inefficient workouts. They show you how to maximize your efforts and your results.
8. Lose stubborn fat
It can become increasingly challenging to lose fat as we age. Why? Four main reasons: loss of calorie burning muscle tissue, increase in caloric intake, decreased activity levels, and changes in hormone balance. A trainer can help you build and maintain muscle mass, increase caloric expenditure and refer you to the proper specialists to address any medical issues such as hormonal imbalances that may be impeding your success.
9. A trainer is a great resource
A good trainer usually has a network of other specialists in the areas of nutrition, naturopathic medicine, massage, and more. Your trainer can refer you to the right specialists for all your non-exercise health needs.
10. Set the stage for a healthier future
There is little any physician, personal trainer or pill can do for you, other than what you can do for yourself. Being willing to make real long-term changes in your life is an inside job. Hiring a qualified trainer, even temporarily, can set the stage for a healthier, happier and more functionally active future.
We all want to be healthy and happy well into our senior years. Why not let a qualified personal trainer get you started in the right direction and spark your internal drive to continue your health and fitness program on your own with “revitalizing” check-ups every 3 to 4 weeks. After all, while our top ten reasons to hire a trainer are important, the number-one reason will always be your health and vitality!
