Are you ready to change? Get a Personal Trainer!

What does it really take in order to be successful in fitness and health? 

There can be several steps to take in order to make your goals come true. Motivation is a huge factor for what keeps you coming back to the gym week after week. What are your reasons for wanting to work out in the first place? Embrace the change that is about to happen as though it already has. Picture a more youthful and energetic self, tell others about your commitment and schedule your workouts in your phone or daily planner.

Once you have done all those steps by your self then it's time to get serious about results. Personal trainers can change your life even if you only hire one for 3 months. In those few months you will get more results than you can get by training solo. Professional athletes know that they need the expertise of a trainer in order to get to their goals because it's not always a matter of being in poor physical shape. People new to lifting weights or beginners to the gym should automatically hire a trainer for at least their first month. Personal training is an investment that keeps you on track while you are in the gym and educates you for the rest of your life. Personal training is a gift to yourself. It allows you to be a better, stronger and more successful you!

Good luck with your training and let me know how it goes.

The Reasons why a trainer might be right for you.

Original article by , About.com Guide Updated December 06, 2007


Motivation 
One of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is that they loss motivation to stick with a consistent exercise program. Certified personal trainers can provide structure and accountability, and help you develop a lifestyle that encourages health.                                                                     
Individualized programIf you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.             

                                                                                               Efficiency
Personal Trainers help you focus on results and stop wasting your time doing inefficient workouts. A personal trainer has a plan and will help you get maximum results in minimum time.                                                 

                          
Improve technical skillsIf you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques specific to your sport. The Trainer will incorporate skills training into your program so you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility and mental focus as well.                     
                                                                                                                            You are new to exercise
If you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach. A good trainer will introduce you to a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you. 


     Break through plateaus
    Ok, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you've been there for years. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well. 
    Learn how to go it alone
    If you ultimately want to learn all the facets of designing your own routines so you don't need to use a personal trainer, going for a few months may be all you need. All good personal trainers will teach you the basics of building and modifying a fitness program to achieve maximum results. 
    Workout Safely
    A personal trainer watches your form, monitors your vitals and can provide objective feedback about your limits and strengths. Most of us tend to ignore some of the subtle signals our body provides. We either push through pain or give up too soon. Because a personal trainer can watch what you are doing while you are doing it, they can help push you or slow you down as necessary. 
    Lose Weight
    There is a good reason that the number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape -- it works. If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.
