Whether you’re a new exerciser or you’ve been around the workout block a time or two everyone could use a little help in the gym. As a personal trainer myself I’ve always said that even coaches should have coaches. Here are 4 benefits of hiring a personal trainer.
Accountability. It is really easy to bail on yourself. I can’t count the number of times that I have had the greatest intentions of working out and then shoved it to the bottom of my endless to-do list. Having an appointment with someone who’s counting on you to be there makes a huge difference!
It eliminates the gymtimidation factor. Not knowing what to do and the fear of being judged are two of the main things that keep people from going to the gym in the first place. Having a personal trainer show you exactly how to use the gym equipment and for what purpose helps take some of the intimidation out of it! That’s why when people sign up with us we take them through a 4-week fundamentals course where we go over everything from breath work, to posture, to form, to weight training and beyond so that when they hop into a class or an individual training session with us they feel strong and confident in their abilities.
No guesswork required. Even though I’ve been in the fitness industry for 8 years now I’ve always enjoyed other people programming for me. Why? Because I didn’t have to think about it. And, maybe more importantly, because I trusted that the trainers that I let program for me knew what they were doing. As pre- & postnatal training experts we hear from moms all of the time that they aren’t sure what they should or shouldn’t be doing during this transitional period. Well…that’s what we’re for! Hiring a trainer who understands all of the changes involved makes it easier for you to just show up and sweat without all of the wondering.
It’s fun! We’ve been called torturers, mistresses of pain, sadistic and some other things that I probably shouldn’t type here. But at the end of every session we always hear some variation of, “Thank you. I needed that.” Your workouts should make you feel good and enhance your life. Your workouts should maybe even be a little fun, even if you don’t want to admit it at the time. One of our core values as a company is for people to have a great experience and to bring humor to their hour with us. Not everyone enjoys working out, so why not make it a little bit more fun?
Hiring a personal trainer can take your workouts to the next level, helping you gain strength and confidence on the inside and out. If you’ve been considering it, we’d love to chat more with you about options. Email us at info@thepushfitness.com to get started!
