Motivation
It is much easier to stay motivated with someone encouraging you. Certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health.
A Program Just For You
If you have health issues, injuries or training goals a trainer will work with you to plan a safe program that considers your needs and helps you to reach your health goals.
Efficiency
Personal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting your time doing workouts that are not getting you results.
You are new to exercise
If you are just starting an exercise program, a personal trainer is the best way to begin. A good trainer will introduce you to a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.
Break through plateaus
If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.
Learn how to go it alone
If you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your own routines so you don't need to use a personal trainer, going for a few months may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results.
Workout Safely
A personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and can provide objective feedback about your limits and strengths. Most of us tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. We either push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personal trainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, they can help push you or slow you down as necessary.
If working out in a gym makes you self-conscious, a personal trainer at a small facility can focus on you and nobody else is looking!
Lose Weight
There is a good reason that the number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape -- it works. If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.
What kind of programs do you offer?
Weight Loss, Basic and sport-specific flexibility, basic nutrition, sport-specific training (such as triathlon training), boxing, balance, core strength, and home or travel exercise programs.
What is a typical session like?
Clients are asked to arrive five or ten minutes before each session starts to warm-up and stretch. Sessions are either 30 minutes or one hour and may consist of weight training, core strength development, cardio training, flexibility, etc.
How many days a week should I work with a trainer?
One to three times per week. Clients that only see a trainer once a week are strongly encouraged to workout on their own at least one other day each week. The most common trainer visits are two per week.
I have bad joints. How can I exercise?
There are plenty of athletes that complete entire marathons without the use of their legs or in a wheelchair. The point is, that if there is a will, there is a way! Our trainers are qualified and well versed in how to work around bad joints. There are many alternative exercises as well as joint strengthening programs to help tone and condition the affected areas.
