Benefits of personal training

One of the major benefits of personal fitness training is that you know you are exercising safely, using the correct techniques at all times, under expert guidance. This is very important because it minimises the risk of any injuries occurring and means you progress at exactly the right pace for you.

Specific physiological benefits can be achieved by having a personal trainer, and these include:

• Reduced body fat percentage
• Increased lean muscle tissue
• Weight loss
• A stronger, leaner, more toned body
• Stronger abdominal and back muscles
• Improved posture and flexibility

There are many other benefits which relate to the way you feel and the quality of your day-to-day life. These include:

• Having more energy
• Feeling less tired and lethargic
• You may sleep better at night
• Looking and feeling better in yourself generally
• Improved self-confidence
• The desire to eat a more healthy and balanced diet

Having a personal trainer means that exercising is no longer a chore and much more effective than training on your own – many people find that they are far more likely to succeed in achieving their fitness goals if they know someone is coming to train them at home. It is much more difficult to make excuses and find reasons not to do it when you know I’m on my way to see you because there’s not much you can do to get out of it!

I am all yours for the period of your training session. I want to see you achieve your goals, so will push you that bit further and encourage you when you need it. So you get total support, commitment and motivation from me.

You are likely to use the limited time you have available to exercise each week much more effectively with a personal trainer, compared to what you might achieve on your own in that time.

Based on the results of your fitness testing and your fitness goals, you get a unique personal training programme that is designed just for you. I monitor your progress over time to make sure your training programme is working and that you are moving towards achieving your long term goals.

Some people are happy to follow their own training programme in their own time and place; for those who lack the time, motivation, or the energy to train effectively alone, a personal fitness trainer.
