The Benefits of Baseball Training

By matthew lein|2016-11-17T18:27:02+00:00November 17th, 2016|Baseball Skills Training, Baseball Strength & Conditioning, Fitness Training For Baseball Players|Comments Off on The Benefits of Baseball Training

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 [...]

Why You Should Add Personal Training to Your Fitness Program

By matthew lein|2016-11-07T17:33:42+00:00November 7th, 2016|Personal Trainer, Personal Training|Comments Off on Why You Should Add Personal Training to Your Fitness Program

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 [...]

Lacrosse-Specific Personal Training

By matthew lein|2016-10-20T16:29:29+00:00October 20th, 2016|Lacrosse Training|Comments Off on Lacrosse-Specific Personal Training

Lacrosse is gaining popularity across the country as a high school and college sport. Local area high schools like Roswell High and Milton High have done well in adding this sports program to their roster with wins at the state level for men and women. High school lacrosse athletes in the Atlanta area are also finding opportunities for college scholarships. Specific Skills Necessary With these types of opportunities available with lacrosse it makes sense to improve your lacrosse-specific skills, especially in the areas of agility, speed, and strength. We offer a specialized training program for lacrosse athletes designed to address those unique areas of the sport. For example, by building up core body strength, a lacrosse athlete can quickly change directions as well as start and stop at a much higher skill level. Endurance is also very important in lacrosse because of the sport’s physical demand on the body. That’s why lacrosse players are considered some of the most fit athletes across all sports. Specialized Training Programs to Enhance Skills Our lacrosse-specific training involves a specific personal training program that focuses on these areas. We have trained many local lacrosse players rom Roswell High and Milton High, using specific equipment [...]

What to Expect from Your Personal Trainer

By matthew lein|2016-10-17T23:45:13+00:00October 17th, 2016|Personal Training|Comments Off on What to Expect from Your Personal Trainer

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 [...]

Choosing a Personal Trainer

By matthew lein|2016-10-03T20:57:03+00:00October 3rd, 2016|Personal Trainer, Personal Training|Comments Off on Choosing a Personal Trainer

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. The newest trainers tend to not charge as much as those well-seasoned trainers so this might be one way to make it fit your budget. 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, [...]

Working with a Personal Trainer Keeps You Motivated and Energized

By matthew lein|2016-09-26T16:54:50+00:00September 26th, 2016|Personal Trainer, Personal Training, Personal Training East Cobb, Roswell Personal Trainers|Comments Off on Working with a Personal Trainer Keeps You Motivated and Energized

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.

The building has been painted, which really needed to be done. In addition to new paint, they updated the roof and just finished resurfacing the parking lot.

Personal Trainers at Georgia Personal Training are helping folks in Roswell Georgia lose weight, get fit & tone up! We meet people everyday who have tried every diet plan you can think of. Lots of them tell us that they have had some short term success with pre-packaged meal plans.
