8 Reasons You Need to Hire a Personal Trainer

You may be considering hiring a personal trainer. There are many reasons that people use when choosing to hire a trainer. You may not have worked out before and don’t know where to start. You may be a seasoned athlete that is stuck in a plateau. You may need accountability, or an accommodating schedule. You may want to workout from home but have no motivation by yourself. Whatever reasons you may have are you’re personal choices. When you’re ready to put those thoughts into actions here are some reasons you may or may not have considered when making a final decision to hire a trainer.

1. You don’t know where to start.

If you’re new to exercising it can be extremely intimidating to start. Big weights, big machines, you don’t have a clue what each machine does for what body part, you don’t want to injure yourself. All these are reasons to be overwhelmed and never get started or reach your full potential. Having a personal trainer can take all that anxiety away. You are relying on the professional to make sure you’re getting the best programming and safety for your specific individual fitness goal. You won’t have to be alone in the gym or feel lost with them right there with you.

• You are lacking motivation.

When you have no motivation it can be hard to keep your fitness routine up. Hiring a personal trainer can give you a fresh new routine and help determine what motivates you as the client.  A seasoned trainer can pinpoint the problems of lack of motivation and offer up new solutions. Sometimes just having a new person around to guide and make you feel good is a refresher in itself and will help with the motivation you’re lacking.

• Accountability.

Maybe you have the motivation but with everything that goes on in your life you never make it to the gym or in your workout room. Many people fall under this category. It’s hard with all the day to day errands and shuffling kids everywhere, and job duties to make time for yourself. With all that being said, if you make it a priority you can get it done. By hiring a personal trainer you are obligated to yourself for that one hour a few times a week and they’re there to make you a priority. It will help you to have a set schedule to meet with your trainer to ensure as busy as you are, that you’re not neglecting yourself or your workouts.

• You need someone that can accommodate your schedule.

Maybe you travel quite frequently, or maybe you have other obligations that change on a weekly basis that you can’t have a standing appointment with a trainer so you don’t even pursue it. Well to be honest many trainers are very accommodating to your schedules. We have many clients with scheduling conflicts are can arrange to change on a weekly basis if that is a concern of yours. Don’t hesitate to start because everything is so hectic, more times than not, this isn’t a problem for a personal trainer.

• You want to workout at home.

If you have any sort of equipment in your home gym then you should be able to workout in your own space. As a seasoned personal trainer I specialize in private in home training. Many people don’t have time to go to the gym but they desire the results a gym can give them. Throughout my experience, you can absolutely achieve your fitness goals at home.

• You’ve hit a plateau.

Many people find that if they do the same routine for months or years on end they will at some point hit a plateau in their fitness journey. This is normal and an excellent reason to hire a personal trainer. Simple tweaks to your program or a complete overhaul could mean the difference in body composition in no time at all. Why do the same thing for another year and not get the benefits of all your hard work? Hire a professional to reprogram what you’re currently doing.

• You need nutritional guidance.

Do you feel stuck with your current nutrition program, or maybe you don’t even know what nutrition means. For your workouts you want to be sure you’re maximizing your caloric intake with the right macronutrients to reach your full potential. You hire a personal trainer not just for your workouts but also your nutritional needs. Everything in combination will get you to achieve your desired fitness goal.

• You’re just plain bored with your workouts.

If you’ve been training for a while and can’t seem to get excited about your workouts then it’s a great time to hire a personal trainer. Personal trainers are very knowledgeable about exercises. You may not know it but there are several variations of exercises that only utilize a single body part. That being said, there are endless possibilities for new programming for your workouts.

So if you’re considering hiring a personal trainer long term or even temporarily, it’s never a bad thing. Maybe some of these reasons are in line with your thoughts, or maybe you have your own personal reasons. Either way you won’t go without benefitting from the knowledge a personal trainer can give you when reaching your fitness goals and setting new ones.
