"GREAT Reasons to Hire a Personal Trainer"

• Motivation- Personal Trainers wear many hats, serving not only as coach, but as an educator, confidant, role model and a major source of motivation and encouragement as well.

• Consistency- Do you find it difficult to stick to the program? Scheduling regular appointments with a Personal Trainer helps eliminate any excuses you might come up with for not training

• Safety- Unsure about how to use the chest press machine at the gym or how to perform walking lunges without hurting your knees? A Personal Trainer will show you how to exercise safely and instruct you on the proper and safe use of all equipment.

• Individualized Instruction- What works for one person does not mean it works for another when it comes to choosing a training program. A Personal Trainer will develop the most effective program for you based on your evaluation results and personal goals you want to achieve. Beginners in particular benefit from instruction on how to perform specific exercises and program planning.

• Effective Workouts- Today's hectic lifestyles mean you don't have time to waste on ineffective exercise routines. Personal Trainers help maximize your time by providing workouts designed to meet your goals quickly and efficiently.

• Supervision- Personal attention during training is the primary function of a Personal Trainer. Need someone to spot you while you do pull-ups? Looking for feedback on your form? No problem - that's what your Personal Trainer is for -to - observe, assist and, if necessary, correct as needed.

• Sports-specific Training- Many amateur and professional athletes work with a Personal Trainer during the off-season to prepare themselves for in-season competition. A Personal Trainer can tailor your program to your sport of choice.

• Injury Rehabilitation- Injuries and accidents can prevent you from participating in your favorite activities. An experienced Personal Trainer, however, can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future injuries.

• Special-needs Training- Research confirms that individuals with health challenges such as diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis or heart disease benefit greatly from regular physical activity. These conditions, however, can make exercising safely a challenge. Many Personal Trainers are experienced in designing programs that address the special needs of these and other conditions.

• Ego Boost- It's a fact-feeling good makes you look good, and vice versa. Not only can your Personal Trainer help you achieve your health and fitness goals, they provide you with positive feedback on your performance and bolster your confidence to take on all new challenges.

"Stay Motivated"

Whether you plan on sticking with a Trainer for a while or feel as if you can take what you learned and go with it elsewhere, staying motivated is what makes the difference.

We see people come and go, but most return because they can't motivate themselves. If you can't afford a full time Personal Trainer, take what you learned during your time with one and apply it at the gym, or at home, and keep it going. Once working out becomes a routine it will become easier to maintain.

Treat it like a job, as if it's something that is necessary for you to do, because it is, and your health is the most important thing in Life.
