Personal Trainers Are An Effective And Efficient Way
Efficiency – Your time is valuable. Stop wasting it with inefficient workouts! A personal trainer will show you how to maximize each movement and workout so you get results in the minimum amount of time.
Customization – Lose weight, get toned, run a 5K… we all have stuff we want to accomplish. When you hire a personal trainer, you’re getting a personal coach to show you the path to YOUR success. We work with you to create an individual fitness plan that fits into your life and will get you the results you deserve.
Motivation – Staying consistent with exercise and diet is hard! That’s why so many people fail at it. You choose to change that cycle when you hire a personal trainer. We are cheerleaders providing the support and motivation to keep you working hard to achieve your goals.
Individual Attention – It may seem obvious that personal training is about you, the client, but the individual attention you get in training sessions is highly valuable. Nowhere else (i.e. classes or working out on your own) do you get constant feedback and instruction to keep you challenged, engaged and safely progressing towards your goals.
Accountability – Your best friend tells you (nicely) if that dress makes you look fat or if that guy isn’t worth your time. Your personal trainer helps you identify habits that sabotage your success. Then we work with you to develop healthy habits that keep you moving forward!
Exercise Expertise – Just like you count on your GP for up-to-date health information based on scientific research, you can count on your personal trainer to provide exercises and information based on the industry’s leading research and innovation – not just what was featured in last month’s fitness magazines.
How to Find a Personal Trainer – One place to look is your local gym. Most gyms have personal trainers on staff and offer attractive packages for personal training. You can also look in your yellow pages, use Personal Trainer Tampa or Tampa Bay, Florida to find trainers in your area, or search for local personal training studios. The cost will vary depending on where you live and your trainer’s experience and education. Typically, the cost will be anywhere from $30 to $100 a session.
At some clubs, you may get assigned a trainer. However, one of my readers sent me these tips for doing a bit of investigation before you take the plunge:
- Get a referral from a friend who’s had success in reaching their goals with a personal trainer
- When you’re at the gym, watch trainers with their clients and see how they interact. Make a note of trainers who get along with their clients and seem fully involved in their workouts…that may be a good one to choose.
- If you do get assigned to a trainer, make sure you tell the manager if you’d prefer a male trainer over a female trainer or vice versa, or if there’s anything special you’d like to work on (getting in shape before pregnancy, getting ready for a marathon, etc.) so you’ll get a trainer with experience in that area.
