How Personal Trainers Can Help After an Injury

Whether it’s a sports injury or some other type of need to heal after surgery, you may want to jump right back into your workout regimen but you know you have to go careful so as to not risk re-injury. It also takes time to build up your strength and flexibility again, depending on how much rest you have given that injured area. That’s why it is especially important to work with a personal trainer after an injury because they know how you can slowly get back to your workout routine without hurting yourself again. For example, if you have broken a bone in your bottom half of your body, they can work with you on strength training on your upper body. Then, as you are healed and cleared by a medical practitioner, they can tell you just how many reps or weight can be used on those areas as you recover. While you might be raring to go, your personal trainer can rein you in because they understood when you can do more and start to push on those healing muscles or bones. For example, after a broken ankle, they can put you on low resistance training on a [...]

Every week, you hit the gym to get in the best shape possible and hit new fitness goals. You realized long ago that a personal trainer has been a game changer when you hit those plateaus or are just simply lost on where to start. Now that you are in the fitness game, you may wonder what the best formula is for a weekly combination of solo workout routines and those overseen by a personal trainer. Well, there are different schools of thought about the frequency of personal training that all have merit: Training with a personal trainer once a week rarely yields significant results because most of the work is done on their own without a structured workout plan. While a personal trainer can provide feedback and offer suggestions that can be employed on a solo basis. One session may not be enough to really get in all the adjustments that need to be made to make new muscle memory that corrects the mistake made by going it alone the majority of the week. Training twice a week with a personal trainer is the most common recommendation. There is more time to review what is being done correctly and [...]

Whether you are getting in shape for the high school or college baseball season or you have your eyes on trying out for the big leagues, you may want to consider taking some baseball-specific training with a personal trainer. With the evolution in how coaches look at baseball athletes, it’s more important than ever to ensure that your athletic potential for agility, speed, velocity and strength surpasses your overall performance related to base percentage and batting average. As owner of Georgia Personal training, I have spent nearly 20 years of my life involved in athletic performance training for baseball. Having been a baseball player and baseball trainer, I understand what needs to go into preparing baseball players for a successful career. We start with baseball players as young as 10 to help get them ready for baseball, working on training techniques that involve strength training, injury prevention, and speed and agility. Each baseball training session is tailored to a player’s specific needs, focusing on such factors as physical build, strengths and weaknesses, physical maturity, age, and what position they play. We understand that a baseball player’s build is not like that of other athletes. Baseball training is not about creating [...]

Maybe you are at a point in your fitness program where you have reached some of your weight loss goals and fitness objectives. However, you have hit a plateau and are not sure what to do next. This is where a personal trainer comes in. So many people believe that personal trainers are just there for people who are new to exercise or haven’t done it in a long time. But, in reality, a lot of personal trainers work with those that may already appear in shape. Here’s the difference they provide someone who may already have a fitness program: You may not be working out as hard or as smart as you think you are so a personal trainer can identify those things you are doing that need improvement or where you can start adding more weight or reps to your routine. You might be playing a specific sport in school and need to sharpen certain skills but are not sure how or where to start improving those areas. A personal trainer that understands the skills necessary for each type of sport can design a sports-based personal training program. You get support that can provide a way to keep [...]
