With so many affordable gym memberships and home gym set ups, not to mention free online workouts through YouTube and apps, why would you need a personal gym trainer or personal trainer? The simple answer is: you don’t lack equipment, you lack accountability.

This is not a diss. Most of us have trouble getting the motivation to move through the discomfort of exercise to the endorphins we’ve been promised. The way to stay on track and get the most from your workout is a personal trainer. Here are three reasons you should try one, today:personal trainer massaging woman

1. Consistency

Just one workout a week with a personal trainer, done consistently, will yield results. You might be running, walking or cycling everyday- keep it up! You may just plan to do something every week then life gets in the way and you are too tired. Either way, your routine (or lack of it) may be stalling your growth. A personal trainer ensures you are at the gym and doing your whole body workout to ensure every muscle group is firing. Too tired? Don’t worry! You will feel an energised fatigue at the end and relax on the couch that night satisfied with your hard work.

2. Challenge

A personal trainer gauges your ability on the day and sets your workout just above your comfort zone. If you are working out solo it can be easy to plateau. Hopefully each run/ walk/ cycle you add a few sprints or choose a new hill to summit. If not, you may not be getting the maximum benefit from your effort. Skip the mental struggle of trying to increase your challenges and let us do it!

3. Monitoring

Do you set yourself fitness goals? These are essential to make sure your workouts have purpose. You may want to increase cardiovascular fitness, achieve 10 perfect pushups or see definition in your arms. Whatever your goal, it needs to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. If you are starting from zero you may aim for five perfect pushups in three months. Then ten in six months. Making these goals the focus helps you stay on track and soon you can see the results of your hard work. woman doing battle ropes while personal trainer times her
