Should I get a Personal Trainer?

Training in the gym or at home can be extremely beneficial, if you know what you’re doing. Many gym-goers will consider using a Personal Trainer at some point in their training life for specific reasons personal to themselves, whether that’s;

  • To Lose weight for holiday
  • Learn the perfect form for certain exercises
  • Get the extra push during gym sessions
  • Be held accountable for exercise and nutrition
  • To transform their life

What are the signs that I need professional support?

The most common red flags for people who need help from a trainer are;

  • Little to no progress
  • Lack of motivation
  • A strict deadline that seems impossible
  • Poor mental health/ Low self esteem
  • Difficulty sticking to a routine

Little to know progress often occurs when people don’t have a definitive structure to follow, though it may seem boring, real progress will only come from following a routine for a number of weeks. If you’re doing hiit workouts, you can vary your routines otherwise they get monotonous very fast. But, in terms of cardiovascular fitness, strength, hypertrophy or crossfit structure is key. This is where a pro is needed, follow an effective plan, do the exercises and nutrition correctly week in week out and get results.

Lack of motivation can stem from poor mental health & low self esteem, no organisation, disinterest in exercising or social distractions. All of these factors may work collectively, exacerbating one another. Experienced fitness professionals are well equipped with the tools and strategies to work through perceived and actual barriers preventing you from success.

A boosted mindset, structured daily routine beside a modified exercise & nutrition approach prescribed by a Personal Trainer can transform your results tremendously.
