| Why A Trainer Might Be Right For You |
If you want to lose weight, get healthy and/or build muscle, hiring a personal trainer can be a step in
the right direction. A good trainer can help you set up a program that meets your goals and teach you
the best way to exercise. Here's what you should know before you hand over the cash.
What is a Personal Trainer?
A personal trainer should be, at the least, educated and certified through a reputable fitness
organization. This person's job is to assess your fitness level, set up a program for you and keep you
motivated. He or she will push you past your comfort level--something difficult to do on your own. A
trainer also provides:
· guidance on reaching your goals
· education about strength training, cardio and basic nutrition
· a reason to show up at the gym each week
· accountability
· ways to help track your progress
Top 10 Reasons to Hire a Personal Trainer
We all need a little help with exercise sometimes, whether we're just starting out or we've been at it
for a long time. Still, there are people who shy away from personal training, unsure of what they'll get
out of the experience or whether it's worth the money. Take a look at just a few reasons people
typically hire personal trainers and see if it's the right decision for you.
1. You're Not Seeing Results
If you've been exercising consistently for several weeks or months and aren't seeing the changes
you'd like, hiring a trainer may be a good choice. A trainer can look at your current program and
eating habits and help you see where you could make changes to create more effective workouts. A
trainer can also help you determine if the goals you've set are realistic for you.
#
2. You Don't Know Where to Start
Knowing how to set up a balanced schedule that includes all the activities you need to do can be
confusing. The great thing about a trainer is that he can help you maximize your time while helping
you stay within your own limits so you don't overdo it. He can also help you set goals and map out a
specific schedule so you know when, how and where you'll fit in your workouts.
#
3. You're Bored with the Same Old Workouts
If you're an experienced exerciser, maybe you haven't considered working with a trainer. But it can be
a great choice if you need some variety in your workouts. A trainer can bring a fresh perspective and
new ideas to challenge both your body and your mind. Even if you just do a few sessions or meet
every few weeks, you'll find it refreshing to have new workouts and new exercise toys to play with.
#
4. You Need to Be Challenged
If you're like me, you tend to slack off on your workouts sometimes, especially when things get tough.
A trainer can motivate you to push past those self-imposed limits, encouraging you to lift heavier, go
longer and challenge yourself more than you would on your own. You'll find it's very hard to slack off
with a trainer standing over you, telling you to do just...one...more...rep!

5. You Want to Learn How to Exercise on your Own
Even if your goal is to create your own workouts and exercise by yourself, hiring a trainer for a few
sessions can be a great benefit for learning the right way to exercise. This is especially true if you
want to learn more about the muscles in your body, the exercises that target those muscles and how
to do those exercises with great form. Just a few sessions can teach you a lot about your body and
how it works.
#
6. You Need Accountability and Motivation
Trainers come with built-in motivation. Not only are you investing money into your exercise
program...you're investing time as well. There's nothing like a standing appointment to get your butt in
gear for a workout. Not only that, a trainer provides some accountability so, even when you don't have
a session, you know your trainer will be asking if you did your planned workouts. Just knowing that
may make it harder to skip your workouts.
#
7. You Have a Specific Illness, Injury or Condition
If you have any specific issues like arthritis, heart disease, old injuries, etc., working with an
experienced trainer (who works with your doctor, of course) can help you find a program to help heal
injuries and avoid any further problems. It's also a great idea to work with a trainer if you're pregnant
and want a safe, effective workout to keep you healthy and fit. Just make sure your trainer has
experience with your issues!
#
8. You're Training for a Sport or Event
If you're training for a marathon, a golf tournament or some other type of sport or event, an
experienced trainer can help you figure out what you need to do to stay strong without taking away
from your other training. She can also help create a training program and map out a plan for the
coming event. Just make sure she's experienced in the sport you're training for since not all trainers
do sport-specific training.
#
9. You Want Supervision and Support During Workouts
Some people know how to exercise and they even know how to do the exercises correctly, but they
like having a trainer around for support and supervision. If you're lifting very heavy weights or need
someone to help with partner-type exercises, working with a trainer might be a good choice for you.
He can spot you during workouts and help you come up with a good training plan for your goals.
#
10. You Want to Workout at Home
If you'd like to exercise at home but either don't have a lot of equipment or aren't sure how to use what
you have, in-home personal training is an excellent choice. A trainer can show you exactly how to use
what you have to get the best workout for you or she can bring equipment with her to give you a great
workout. She can also make recommendations for equipment that will help you reach your goals.
