7 reasons to work with a personal trainer
Amidst the exercises, machines, and gym equipment is the potential for an injury to occur. Certain exercises in particular pose an increased risk to hurting yourself if not done in a safe and correct way. Trainers teach the usage of each equipment piece as well as educate on proper exercise technique so that risk turns into reward.
It's hard to exercise when you aren't sure what exactly you are trying to improve. That's why personal trainers work with their clients to set short- and long-term goals that are realistic and attainable. Trainers can set short term goals that are designed as stepping stones towards your long term goals. This way, your long-term goals will seem less daunting and your small successes along the way will continue to motivate you.
Going it alone can be difficult, and it’s easy to give up without someone there to push you to keep going. A personal trainer also acts as an accountability partner during your workouts. They are there to make sure you are staying positive, motivated, and aren't cheating any reps or quitting too early.
Tying into #3, personal trainers are a huge source of support, encouragement, and motivation feeding into your life. The outflow of positive encouragement from the trainer combined with regular exercise can lead to increased self-confidence, decreased stress and depression, and improvement to your overall mental health.
The needs and goals of the client are of utmost importance to the personal trainer, which is why they create a workout routine that is specific to you! Exercise isn't always "one size fits all", so what works for one person may not work as well for another. Personal trainers develop individualized plans that are tailored to address your specific needs.
Personal trainers often have an abundance of knowledge about the body, physical fitness, nutrition, and general health. They have keen insight on ways to improve your wellness, in and outside of the gym. Some examples include teaching exercise technique, educating on different functions of the body, or helping with behavioral changes to improve overall health and fitness.
All the previous reasons work together to produce one thing: RESULTS! If you have been exercising for several weeks without seeing a change, or wan o make a change in your life but don't know how - a personal trainer is there to assist you.
