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. Wherever you are in your exercise journey, a qualified personal trainer may be just what you need to take it to the next level.
Here are six reasons why hiring a skilled personal trainer is a great investment.
1. Trainers provide accountability and motivation
Accountability is the number one reason we see clients succeed in their fitness journey. Having a personal trainer there to motivate you when you need it, encourage you when you are down, and even give you a gentle kick in the a$$ when you need it is so valuable. Your trainer will be invested in your success! Also, if you’re paying a trainer, do you really want to slack off and feel like you aren’t getting the most for your money? Money spent is good motivation to work out.
2. Trainers provide expertise
A good personal trainer will watch closely to ensure that you are doing the exercises properly to maximize your result and target the intended muscle group.
Trainers carefully watch and correct minor mistakes in form as they are made. Sometimes the smallest tweak of an exercise will change the muscle that is targeted. This is something you could never do on my own, or even from watching a video. Consistently doing an exercise incorrectly can lead to injury.
3. A trainer will push you just enough
A trainer will push you harder than you will push yourself but keep you from rushing ahead too quickly.
If you are like a lot of other people, you work out until you feel uncomfortable, and then you modify the movement or stop altogether. A good trainer knows how to push you beyond your comfort zone and when to stop before pain or injury sets in.
Expert trainers know alternative exercises if you have difficulty with one or if you have an injury to work around. Sometimes a modified version of an exercise is necessary, depending on your fitness level. A good trainer will expertly shape an exercise for you.
4. A trainer helps you identify and reach goals
As you set your goals, a trainer helps you to attain them. The trainer encourages you by noticing improvements that you wouldn’t even think about. This is helpful when discouragement tries to set in.
5. A trainer will personalize your workout
Quality trainers know how to customize a workout based on your individual strengths, weaknesses and goals.
If one of your short-term goals is to do more mens push-ups, your trainer will include several types of difficult push-ups in yoursessions that are quickly enabling you to build strength and move toward more mens push-ups.
6. Trainers can reduce the possibility of injury
An injury can derail a workout program and cause so much discouragement that you could lose momentum and determination to continue. A good trainer will help you to do exercises properly so that you won’t injure yourself.
