Why personal training?
Why personal Training?

We all need a little help with exercise sometimes, whether you are just starting out or you have been training for a while. Eventually everyone reaches those dreaded plateaus where our progress slows down and grinds to a stop. There are a number of reasons to invest in a personal trainer. Some want individualised programmes so they can lose weight or get in shape while others may be training for a specific sporting event. Wherever you are in your exercise journey, a personal trainer will be able to help you take things to the next level.

Where do I start?

For many people, knowing where to start can be a daunting task. Knowing how to set up a complete exercise schedule that includes all the activities you may need to do: cardio, resistance training and flexibility can be overwhelming, let alone the nutritional aspect which is often overlooked but equally as important. Add the time and knowledge it takes to choose exercises, weights reps and sets and you may quit before you even start! This is where a personal trainer can be the biggest help. They can help you use your time efficiently while keeping you within your own limits so you don't overdo it. They 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.
Not seeing results?

If you've been exercising regularly for several weeks or even months and aren't seeing the results you wanted, hiring a personal trainer may be a good choice. A personal trainer can look at your current exercise programme and eating habits and help you see where you could make small but important changes to create more effective workouts which will ultimately help you to arrive at your goal quicker.

Keep it fresh

A personal trainer will provide you with new training ideas and correct your technique if necessary to ensure maximum gains are achieved. A personal trainer will also help you to stay motivated towards achieving your goal. If you're an experienced exerciser, maybe you haven't considered working with a personal trainer. However, it can be a great choice if you need some variety in your workouts. A personal 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 keep things interesting.
Support & Motivation

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, supervision and additional motivation. If you're lifting very heavy weights or need someone to help with partner type exercises, working with a personal trainer is a great idea. The trainer will be able to spot you during workouts and help you come up with a good training plan for your goals.

You earn your body, Challenge yourself! 

It’s human nature to slack off occasionally, especially when things get tough and we find ourselves asking why are we doing this? It’s important to keep your end goal in the back of your mind. 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 personal trainer standing over you, telling you to do just one more rep! After all, it’s those last few reps or extra minutes or seconds that really make the difference. You may even find hidden strengths you never knew you had, which can motivate you even more.

No gym, No problem

As the health and fitness industry hits record highs, more and more people are deciding to join gyms. If you haven’t been to a gym before they can be pretty daunting, particularly if you don’t know what you’re doing. A personal trainer will guide and support you to help you achieve your goal. If you decide you don’t want to join a gym and would rather exercise at home but either don't have a great deal 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 they can bring equipment with them to give you a great workout. They will also make recommendations for equipment that will help you reach your goals.
