When Should You Invest in a Personal Trainer?


If you are new and just starting out on a fitness plan, you will need to know your way around the gym and proper and effective use of the machines and weights.

If you are training for an upcoming sporting event, run, marathon or fitness competition.  Need a little extra motivation to inspire you to accomplish your goals?  A Personal Trainer can provide you with a program to do just that!  Also, if you are working out and not seeing any results…it’s time to get a trainer involved.

When you choose a Personal Trainer, choose wisely.  Check to make sure they hold a certification, better yet observe them in the gym to see how they interact with their clients.  Are they giving them their undivided attention?  Or, are they not focused, talking on their cell during a session or to everyone else during the time that you are paying them for their services.  A Personal Trainer needs to be engaged with his or her client at all times.  The more engaged they are, you can be certain that proper form is being used during each exercise, as well as motivating you to push harder throughout the set.  They also need to be concerned of your well being, not only in the gym, but also when you’re not at the gym in regards to your nutritional health. 

Yes, trainers can look the part with their amazingly fit bodies, but can your trainer perform to meet your expectations?  Just something to think about….

Live Fit Live Strong!!
