Is a Personal Trainer Worth a Dime?

Most of us would likely think, that home workout is the “new normal” as part of the after-effects of the global crisis (Covid-19). 

Given that home workout videos are visible anywhere from multiple media platforms—which are mostly FREE, why would it be important to get in touch with your personal fitness trainer? 

Here are the three major reasons why.

They Help Prevent You From Injury

It’s not that the online workout videos are bad, in fact, it’s a good platform for those who wanted to learn and those who are just starting their fitness journey. But take note that having a personal fitness coach is the safest and most efficient way to learn fitness. 

Why? 

Because a personal trainer can help you correct your movement postures and can give you science-based workout techniques that minimize the risk of getting injured.

Why does the correct posture necessary in exercises and weight training? 

Our posture affects our overall movement and skill execution. Having a good posture during a workout makes us ease our movement. It enhances our performance because it helps to distribute the ever-present force of gravity through our body, preventing an overstressed muscle and early experience of muscle fatigue. 

Having a correct posture and technique is essential because it allows us to maximize the quality of the exercises. Working out with the guidance of a fitness professional can lead you to achieve your goal without compensating for your safety (and also time-efficient).  

You will be able to strengthen your body and boost your overall health while lowering the risk of injury. 

But in case you are still afraid of getting exposed in the gym, for your peace of mind and safety, have someone at home to look after you. Besides, the fitness industry has already adapted
to an online training set-up.

They Will Drive You With Realistic Results

Whether you plan for weight loss, gain weight, boosting athletic performance, injure recovery, or just overall wellness, everybody should set a “realistic” goal. ✅

Most fitness beginners are overwhelmed by fast results. They need to see a visible result in a span of 6 weeks or less. They like to see a remarkable measure close to the goal. But the problem here is, having an unrealistic goal will only dishearten us. It might lead, even those who are in a regular workout, to give up on their fitness objectives. 

Because the expectations are set high, it causes a person to stop working out.

The role of a personal fitness coach is to carefully study your overall body needs and to set an achievable fitness goal with you. They professionally create a tailored health and fitness program that suits your body type. They will make sure that you stay in shape even at home and get you to engage with the workout no matter what.

They Are More Than Just A Fitness Coach

Your personal fitness trainer does not only cares about your fitness improvement but they also care for your well-being. Most often than not, they become your unofficial therapist as they give their ears to listen to your random stories about how your week is going or a shoulder to lean on whatever you are going through. They are flexible with the training programs to support you with the motivation you need. Plus, they hold you accountable for your fitness regime, so the “need” to workout arises because they are here to give you a push, to ensure that you will commit and stick to your fitness goals.

So you see, a personal trainer will guide you with a better understanding of your fitness needs. They will help you in achieving your fitness goals. And they could be your life coach and encourager in one. 

It is good if you already have a fitness trainer, just reconnect with them. 

And if you plan to start training with a fitness coach, look for them around your area or contact someone you know. 

I tell you, this is one of the best investments you could have for yourself. 

Keep safe! Stay healthy! 😊
