Taking that personal fitness journey can be challenging and often discouraging when you go it alone. You may not be able to always find a workout pal to keep you going either. However, a personal trainer becomes your motivator, coach, confidante, mentor and more. They get you to your goals and keep you focused on that journey plus they can make it more fun along the way. Here are some statistics from the American Council on Exercise (ACE) that illustrate just how well personal trainers work to help you achieve your fitness goals: McClaran (2003) found that weekly sessions with a personal trainer significantly increased a client’s ability to move upward through the stages of change, vastly improving their physical activity. Mazzetti et al. (2000) found that training loads, peak power output, and fat-free mass were all increased among supervised (personally trained) participants compared to those who exercised alone. Researchers at Adelphi University compared in-home and at-the-gym personal training, finding that both were effective in terms of weight loss, cardiovascular function, adherence and motivation, with little differences between the two (Sykes et al., 2007). Hamilton et al. (2008) found that there are “numerous benefits to working with a qualified personal [...]

Why a Personal Trainer is Important to Your Workout

By matthew lein|2016-09-10T21:44:06+00:00September 10th, 2016|Personal Training|Comments Off on Why a Personal Trainer is Important to Your Workout

Many people question why a personal trainer is important, saying it’s a waste of money when they can just figure out how to use the machines themselves and get into shape solo. However, there are many reasons why a personal trainer can change the outcome of our workout regimen, adding a new level to meeting your fitness goals. Here are some of the reasons why a personal trainer can be the defining difference to working out: If you are new to the gym, a personal trainer can help you understand what equipment works for what muscle group, how you should use it effectively, and what weight to set it for or repetitions to do to get started. This can also keep you safe from getting injured, which typically then sets you back from achieving your fitness goals. Personal trainers can see what you don’t see. Not only are they trained to see how to hold your arm, bend a leg, or position your body, but they also can see if you are doing it correctly more so than you because you may not always be working out in front of a mirror. And, you certainly can’t get a 360-degree like [...]

While we always recommend personal training for anyone, including athletes, we’ve found that offering sports-specific training for high school and college students as well as all other age groups in the Roswell area provides another level of training. This sports-specific training can mean the difference between winning a few games or competitions and excelling at a higher level that garners greater success. Here are some of the types of sports-specific training we have available: Baseball Training Players are now expected to be bigger, stronger, and faster in order to compete in today’s game of baseball. Owner Matt Lein has spent over 20 years focused on performance training for baseball. Clients age from 10 to 18 and learn how to improve their strength, speed, and agility while reducing injuries. Workouts might include parachute sprints, tire flips, kettlebell training, intense plyometric routines and nutrition consultations. Football Training Football training also requires a focus on speed, strength, and agility. Each football training session at our Roswell personal training facility includes routines geared toward enhancing these skills to make for much more responsive football players on the field. Soccer Training We train both men and women to improve their soccer skills, building on Owner [...]
