By now you have read our posts about making a plan to start your new healthy lifestyle, pursue your fitness goals and change the way you eat. You have mapped out your weekly exercise routine be it in the gym, talking walks or joining a new class and you have started making new lists for when you go shopping; choosing fresh foods, trying new dishes and getting rid of the junk food by recording it all in your food diary right??<\/p>\n

Well it\u2019s January and you haven\u2019t started yet, how many excuses have we found to stop you from starting; the bad weather, I\u2019ll wait for the kids to go back to school or I\u2019ll start tomorrow. I forget the number of people I have spoken to as a trainer who have said that yes, working with a trainer will get me results and improve my health and fitness BUT I\u2019m just not fit enough at present to workout with one as they will kill me, so I will train by myself for a bit before I sign up. Guess what; you will go off and do maybe a couple of exercise sessions (maybe a class or two, go for a long walk) and then \u2018something\u2019 will come up and you will stop: back into the old routine that you are currently in, looking at yourself in the mirror and being fed up. There is just no accountability.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Well, here\u2019s the thing; working with a trainer won\u2019t \u2018kill you\u2019, its the trainers job to show you how to achieve the goals you want; whether that\u2019s to lose weight, tone up or add some muscle. They are there to explain what you need to be doing; what you should be eating, what types of exercises you should be doing and educating you to the point that you are able to go off by yourself and know how to live and maintain a healthier lifestyle. Yes, the sessions can be tough but a good trainer will show you how much work you need to be doing to drop that dress size; they will help you to change your eating & shopping habits. The key point is that a trainer will SUPPORT you to make changes, good coaches teach!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re just getting started with exercise, or you\u2019ve already been working out but not seeing the results you\u2019d like, you might be surprised at just how much a personal trainer can help you look and feel more in shape\u2014and quite quickly, too! Here are five reasons why hiring a qualified personal trainer could be the best move you\u2019ll ever make toward achieving better health and fitness.<\/p>\n

1. You\u2019ll Actually Show Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some fitness experts recommend scheduling workouts into your diary like appointments. Now for the truth: If you\u2019re not in the mood to exercise on your own, it\u2019s easy to hit delete on a workout because it\u2019s kind of a fake appointment.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s not so easy is cancelling a workout you\u2019ve already paid a personal trainer for. It\u2019s a real appointment that your trainer scheduled into his or her packed workday\u00a0just for you<\/em>. Wasting money is painful, and wasting someone else\u2019s time is embarrassing.\u00a0Hiring a personal trainer puts someone in your court to keep you accountable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. You\u2019ll Get More Out of Your Goals<\/strong><\/p>\n

You might hire an accountant to prepare your taxes because you know that a skilled professional helps you achieve the best outcome. It\u2019s a fact that experts (e.g., personal trainers) in a given field (health & fitness) know a bunch of stuff other people don\u2019t. Leveraging their knowledge saves you time and frustration. When you hire a personal trainer, you put yourself on a fast-track to getting more of what you want from fitness, including being able to define and refine your goals in ways you might not have considered. Trainers know the right form of workout, best exercises, correct equipment and best programming for plenty of client goals. It\u2019s what they do for a living.<\/p>\n

3. You\u2019ll Sometimes Do What You Didn\u2019t Know You Could Do<\/strong><\/p>\n

Chances are, your personal trainer is going to occasionally, or frequently, suggest an exercise you\u2019re unsure of or hand over a set of weights that are heavier than what you\u2019d ever pick up. You might be surprised to discover that you are capable of what\u2019s being asked of you!<\/p>\n

With your abilities and goals in mind, a personal trainer will push you more than you\u2019d push yourself. And it\u2019s enough to make a difference in how fit you look and feel. Worried about it being too intense? A skilled, credentialed personal trainer knows just how far to safely take a client outside his or her comfort zone to achieve the best results.<\/p>\n

4. You\u2019ll Gain More Confidence With Working Out<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hiring a personal trainer helps you avoid a big workout blunder: Guessing at how to do an exercise or use a piece of equipment. At best, this wastes your time; at worst, it sets you up for injury. With a trainer by your side, you gain access to \u201cinside information\u201d about how to properly perform exercises and make the most of equipment. When someone\u2019s watching out for you\u2014checking your form and providing personalised feedback\u2014you can feel confident that you\u2019re exercising like the pros.<\/p>\n

5. You\u2019ll Lay the Foundation for Lifelong Fitness<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve hired the right personal trainer\u2014one who is attentive to your abilities and goals, and is skilled at his or her job, who\u2019s personality matches\u2014a funny thing happens: You look forward to your training sessions! Hanging out with your trainer during sessions can be quite social, which creates a stronger commitment to exercise for a lot of people. The more motivated you feel to get to the gym, the closer you become to making fitness a lifelong habit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think about it; if you believe you can achieve your health & fitness goal without the support and help of a trainer, WHY HAVEN\u2019T YOU?<\/p>\n
