What is the difference between a fitness trainer and a fitness coach?

Your goals.

What does a fitness trainer do?

A fitness trainer maps out specific training goals for when you’re working towards a particular goal, be it a triathlon, team sports or an adventure holiday such as hiking the Andes. Your trainer will identify the functional strength and mobility you need and create a program to develop those areas. Our Recharged trainers have years of experience working with athletes, and have guided their own athletic achievements, giving them the expertise to create evidence-based, cutting-edge regimens.

What does a fitness coach do?

A fitness coach is the person who helps you establish and maintain your regular exercise routine, in circumstances such as coming back from injury or committing to better health. Our Recharge team members set up an exercise program that fits your ability and, during workouts, will make small adjustments to ensure you stay right on the edge of challenge. Coaching sessions even just once a week can make the difference between feeling too tired to exercise versus pushing through the fatigue for that sense of satisfaction and boost of endorphins at the end.

A personal trainer is both

A personal trainer is both a fitness trainer and a fitness coach (and occasionally a pest for your own good). They’re someone who can respond to your energy and ability on the day to help get the most out of you. When you commit to a weekly or bi-weekly training program, you invest in your most valuable asset: your health. And at Recharged, we’re here to help all the way, with trainers who can remind you of the bigger fitness picture when the lure of the snooze button seems more enticing. Don’t leave us hanging!
