If you have ever visited a boutique fitness studio, you may have noticed that there are a lot of personal trainers, each devoting their time to helping improve the fitness and health of the dedicated studio members. While it can be difficult to make it to fitness classes every day, or to squeeze in time for a workout, there are many reasons to make it happen:
- Regular fitness improves circulation, heart health, and brain function.
- Movement helps reduce inflammation within the body and reduces the incidence or severity of issues such as arthritis.
- Fitness helps reduce stress, enhances mood, and improves mental clarity.
- Regular exercise helps improve grit, inner strength, and determination, while also boosting self-confidence, resilience, and self-esteem.
And given how important it is to commit to a regular fitness routine and make it to your favorite fitness studio, it is in your best interest to maximize your success by committing to working with a trainer, and here’s why:
Keeps You Accountable
When you have someone waiting for you at the fitness studio, you show up. It’s not the same as when you go to work out alone and let yourself get away with excuses, cut your workout short, or don’t show up at all. Instead, when you have a trainer, you have someone who is there waiting for you, and who has put time and effort into crafting a plan for you that you are expected to follow. More than that, they have expectations of you that make you want to improve and be better so that you can reach those expectations – for the trainer and for yourself.
Offers Accurate Education
Go online and search “fitness,” “exercise,” or “workout plan,” and you will be overwhelmed by an incredible amount of information. Much of it is inaccurate, not in line with scientific research, or simply not applicable to you and your personal situation, goals, and workout style. When you work with a trainer, you can trust that you will get information that is catered to you and your needs, and not only get a training plan, but be educated in areas of health, fitness, and nutrition. Trainers are educated in current best practices for health, fitness, and nutrition and are experienced in tailoring these to different individual needs and making changes as necessary. And with the right one, this is exactly what a trainer can do for you.
Forces You to Challenge Yourself
When you are working out on your own and simply heading to the same classes each week at your local boutique fitness studio, it can be easy to fall into a routine isn’t challenging you or leading you to improve. When you work with a trainer, they don’t let you off that easy! Each session with a trainer will push you to new limits, will challenge you, and will force you to see your own potential. For some individuals, this is hard to do on their own, and the extra push of a professional is just what they need.
