When to hire a Personal Trainer...

Having a Personal Trainer is the most important when you BEGIN exercising. 

What's so difficult about exercising, right?


A bit of running on a treadmill, some squats and various leg training imprlements to work on the areas you want to "tone" and the job is done!

All it requires is a joining a gym and you'll magically know what to do!

What about ankle mobility preventing from from going through a full range of motion on squats?
Why are your knees bending inwards on leg press?
What's your running technique like?
Are you doing steady state cardio or intervals? Which is more effective?
Has your body accomodated and adapted to the stress placed upon it? Is this why you have suddenly stopped making progress?

These are the questions (as well as many others) a Personal Trainer worth paying for will show you the answers to.
My point is, why learn the hard way? Get a trainer for a few sessions at the beginning of your exercise journey, save money on countless fruitless atempts to get in shape, do the sensible thing and get professional help.

Just like when you learn how to drive a car you have lessons FROM THE START.

 

If you've never exercised or gone through an exercise program before, how can you expect to get the results you want?

 

Learn how to train safely, effectively and efficiently from the beginning. People really don't seem to understand that safe, effective and progressive exercise is a learned set of skills!

 

I'm still learning about every element of fitness every single day, the subject of fitness of so big and multi-faceted that it's impossible to keep track sometimes. If a fitness professional is like this, how can the beginner to exercise NOT feel at sea?

 

It's so easy to be overwhelmed, to give up and to waste your time and money for another year in a bid to get fit, healthy and in shape.

 

We, as a company, make it easier for you. It takes someone of skill to simplify something to the laymen, those lacking in quality, experience or knowledge make things more complex. Let us put your mind at ease.

The start is where you should have the most guidance, not some mythical place of readiness and fitness where you are "ready" for a Personal Trainer.

 

My favourite client is someone entirely new to exercise, because they have the most to benefit from my experience, I can and regularly do entirely change peoples mind and body in terms of weight, body composition, posture, mobility, flexibility, co-ordination, self-esteem and many other things, these are changes seen in the beginner to a much larger extend than in say an advanced exerciser with years and years experience in the gym. 

You will see the gym isn't a scary place and is nothing like what you imagine.

A gym is never full of athletes, 80% (a generous percentage) haven't got a clue how to train properly. They might think they know, but nope!

You will learn that your body is capable of great things.

Things you never thought would be classed as exercise.

 

 

"What do you mean, throw this kettlebell and catch it above my head!?"

A good Personal Trainer isn't there to merely run you into the ground. We are here to help you. Not to satisfy our own egos. We want to give you the maximum benefits through causing you the least pain possible. Yeah, it hurts sometimes, it can and will be difficult but eventually you will learn to love this aspect of training

A good Personal Trainer builds you up, progresses you and fosters independence from the trainer rather than dependence on the trainer. A bad trainer is merely after your money for as long as you will pay him/her. A good trainer will provide you with quality service for only as long as you require knowing full well that this is how to get more clients in the long run.

 

A good Personal Trainer is a teacher, who inspires confidence in his clients.

All you need to do is make the first step. The most difficult step of all. But also the most sensible.
