Lacrosse is gaining popularity across the country as a high school and college sport.

You hire a personal trainer because you expect that they will get you the results you have been looking for whether that is losing weight or body fat, toning up your body, or conditioning your body for a specialized sport. However, you play a big role in making that happen because you most likely don’t work with your trainer every time you go to the gym and they don’t follow you home to watch what you eat all day and night. There are some key things you can expect from your personal trainer that will help you focus and achieve your specific goals: Expertise and Knowledge A personal trainer can show you what you are doing right and what you need to fix when using various machines or exercise equipment. They have undergone rigorous training to understand how to correctly use different exercises so that you don’t get hurt and you maximize the results every time you use anything in the gym. Their knowledge often extends to nutrition, wellness, and even specific sports, if they are offering sports-specific training and conditioning. Encouragement and Support Many people struggle to get going or even stay motivated on their own when they are [...]

When you decide to get professional assistance with your fitness goals, it’s time to seek out a personal trainer. However, you don’t necessarily want to take the first one you come across when walking into a gym. Instead, consider these factors when choosing a personal trainer: Credentials: Make sure they can show you that they are certified as a personal trainer through an organization like The American Council on Exercise (ACE), the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), or the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM). This shows that they have met a certain level of knowledge, competence, skill, and professionalism to serve you well. Experience: Find out how long they have been working as a personal trainer. While everyone has to start somewhere and it’s not necessarily a bad thing to start out with someone new, make sure that’s what you are comfortable with.

Personality: It’s good to find someone who makes you feel comfortable and often this has to do with their personality. Ask yourself if you want someone who is a cheerleader, [...]
