Top reasons to hire a personal trainer

Saturday, August 20, 2011

Why should you consider hiring a personal trainer?  These are just a few reasons.

Knowledge: Many clients tell us that they want to get in shape, but don't know what to do or how to start.  They may join a gym and do the elliptical for hours on end and get some results. However, navigating a huge floor of equipment could be overwhelming.
A good trainer will create a clear plan for you based on what YOU want to achieve.

Motivation: Not every client has the motivation and self discipline to keep  up a workout schedule that creates results.  A good trainer will know how to keep you moving in the right direction.  It's okay to admit that you can't stay consistent without the motivation of a trainer.  Every client is different.  Knowing yourself is a giant step in reaching your goals.

Accountability:  Setting your workouts up as appointments means someone expects you to attend your workout session.  Being accountable to a trainer is one of the main reasons many of our clients attend Sleek Body. Your workout sessions are as important as your other appointments.  We miss you when you don't attend.

What are you training for?  Hiring a trainer for bridal fitness is as specific as hiring a trainer to train you for a boxing match.  Every training scenario is different.  There are variables to consider such as  time lines,  how often you can train, nutritional requirements, and more.  A good trainer will be able to develop a specialized program that works with the clients goals.

What results do you want? Many clients come to Sleek Body in preparation for an event such as a wedding, reunion, or vacation.  Other clients simply want to get in shape. However, most clients have a vision of what they want their finished body to look like.  A good trainer will be able to use different training techniques to produce the results their client is looking for. For example:  If you are interested in sleeking out without bulk, that workout is going to be specific.  There are many exercises that work for different results, but there are also exercises that are counter-productive to  specific looks..  A good trainer will show you what to do and also what not to do.

Generic workouts produce generic results


Breaking/stopping plateaus:  Studies show that fitness seekers get results for the first six weeks of their programs, then plateau or stop seeing results.  A good trainer will know how to help you break plateaus, or avoid them as much as possible.

You are worth it:  One of  free test drive  clients has been a gym member for several years and after starting Sleek, finally lost those last ten pounds she'd been fighting with. She walks with a bounce in her step, she said she feels 10 years younger and feels her stress levels have gone down.  When it came time to renew  she told us, she would never pay for personal training for herself.  :( Many times,  we feel that our children, family members, work, friends and everything else should come before us. You are the most important person and if you don't feel good about yourself, you can't be your best for the others in your life.
