The Benefits of Having a Personal Trainer

Enhanced Motivation

If you have previously struggled with motivation while working alone there is no doubt that working with a personal trainer can help. I can alter your perception of exercise, helping you to enjoy your workouts. I keep them varied and interesting so you will look forward to your sessions and feel great after them. I am specially training to encourage, focus and motivate you. I can move you to work at your top level, achieve your very best and smash your goals.

Increased Accountability

When training alone, with no monitoring of your effort levels or attendance, it becomes very easy to slack off or skip the gym entirely. To get the results you want consistency is key, sticking to your workout programme is essential. The accountability that a personal trainer provides means you are much less likely to put in low effort or skip a session.

Expert Support

As a personal trainer it is my responsibility to demonstrate to you the safest and most effective way of performing an exercise. I am also trained to design for you progressive, efficient, effective and enjoyable workouts to help you achieve your goals. Having such expert support on hand increases the likelihood of reaching your goals and decreases injury risks. Whether you want to lose weight, build muscle, tone and define or improve sporting performance having expert help on hand can prevent wasting valuable time inefficiently plugging away in the gym.

Increased Intensity

When you work out alone it is very tempting to create mental excuses and essentially 'take it easy' on yourself, working yourself at a much lower intensity than you are capable of. Not sufficiently pushing yourself during a workout will slow or stall your progress towards your goals. A personal trainer will not allow this to happen. I will ensure you work to the best of your ability, constantly pushing and challenging yourself, safely, getting the most from each and every workout.

Workout Anywhere

I can train you in the gym, in your own home, at a local park...basically anywhere with enough space. The ability to mix up the location of your training environment creates interest and varied training opportunities, preventing boredom and increasing your motivation.

Efficient Workout

It is a fact that working alone many of us waste time at the gym. We check our phones, we take long breaks, we may chat, perform inefficient exercises or spend most of our time relaxing in the post workout Jacuzzi. An hour at the gym may actually become just 15 minutes work which is getting no one anywhere. Having a personal trainer means that none of your workout time is wasted. Workouts are efficient, fully tailored towards your personal goals allowing you to get the best possible results in the shortest amount of time.

Safe Workout

Working alone, there is always a risk that you're performing the exercise incorrectly. This could render the exercise ineffective or you could risk injury. A personal trainer will ensure you perform the exercise correctly, using the correct amount of weight. They will observe your form and your technique and correct any mistakes. They will also provide assistance as a spotter which is essential as a safety precaution during many exercises such as the bench press. The personal trainer will pay close attention to you during such exercises and be in a position to help with the weight should you have difficulty.

Personalised Training Programme

One unique benefit of a personal trainer is that they are able to provide fitness advice and design a training programme specifically for you, tailored to your goals. They closely monitor how you respond to training, with regular reviews and fitness appraisals to monitor progress. From these reviews they will continuously modify your programme to perfect your personalised training programme.

Improved Fitness and Nutrition Knowledge

A great advantage of a personal trainer on hand is the knowledge you can absorb from them. Learning fitness and nutritional knowledge from your personal trainer will give you gym confidence even when you are working independently.

Rapid Results

People take on personal trainers because they can help you achieve your health and fitness goals in the fastest possible time. They can help you lose weight, build muscle, tone and define and improve your fitness levels using efficient and effective personalised workout sessions.
