- You Haven’t Exercised in Awhile… QUITE Awhile: Whether you were an athlete in school (but have become sedentary through years behind a desk) or are completely new to fitness and weight training, your trainer will teach you how to use gym equipment, educate you on proper fitness nutrition, demonstrate proper exercise form, breathing and stretching techniques, and design a program with appropriate exercises for your body, level of fitness and personal goals.
- You Have Unique Health Concerns: Studies report that 50% of the average trainer’s clientele have special medical needs such as arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, RSI, orthopedic disorders, or obesity; many clients report to us for help upon insistence of their physician. Your personal trainer can help you with these or other issues such as low back pain and pre/post-natal fitness, finding alternative exercises if necessary.
- Over 35 and Experiencing Creeping Weight Gain: After the age of 20 our bodies lose up to half a pound of of muscle per year; the ratio of body fat to lean tissue often increases by as much as 30%. Exercising under the watchful eye of your trainer will help you replace that lost muscle, reduce fat, and increase your strength and resting metabolic rate, enabling you to remain fit and healthy well into your senior years.
- You are a Regular Exerciser Looking to Reach or Maintain a Healthy Body Weight: Whether you seek body fat reduction, body shaping and toning, or muscle building and a resultant increase in body weight you can achieve the body you desire with the aid of a certified fitness trainer. So, if you are currently on a program that you’re now bored with, or exercising regularly but not achieving the
results you had hoped for, seeking the advice of a fitness trainer for a customized new workout program can be just what you need! - Consistency Commitment & Motivation Issues: Failure to set realistic and attainable goals, coupled with a lack of motivation (i.e. “I’m too busy to exercise”) is a key factor in the failure to begin or maintain a consistent fitness program. Your trainer will inspire you, challenge you to push yourself to new levels, minimize your time investment while achieving maximum results, and hold you accountable to attend your scheduled workouts!
People hire personal trainers because they are dissatisfied with something about the way they look or feel. Our clients enjoy the security of having a qualified fitness professional help them set realistic goals and determine safe strategies to reduce body fat, shape and tone their physiques, and provide the encouragement needed to stick with those well-intentioned resolutions to get in shape.
Hiring a personal trainer can be the catalyst you need to reach the pinnacle of fitness!
