Georgia Personal Training offers a Free Initial Consultation

In my late twenties early thirties, I joined a “Gym”. This was not a fancy gym with a beautiful building facade and a friendly front desk staff. No, it was a small facility with lots of iron weights. The squat rack bars and the floors were covered in white chalk and there was a faint odor like menthol muscle pain ointment in the air. It was not exclusive to men but very few ladies ever entered unless they were body building weightlifting enthusiasts. There was no Zumba class. The people in this Gym were lifting some serious free weight. I was not one of them.

I suppose you can still find a gym like that but today you find many more versatile workout facilities. For example, Georgia Personal Training (GPT) an elite gym in Atlanta, offers a well-rounded fitness program that appeals to all ages and both men and women. Our gym still has the heavy free weights if that is your thing, but we have a full-service gym. When you enter, you will see state of the art treadmills, stationary bikes and many resistance machines. Then in the next room there is plenty of room to do aerobics, martial arts and stretching etc.

In summary, you will find anything you need at GPT but most importantly, you will have the professional guidance and coaching of a Certified Personal Trainer. Below is a short article from our owner, Matt Lein, on weightlifting.

Lifting weights is important. However, there is more to lifting weights than just the lifting.

That’s why a personal trainer can be extremely beneficial to your workout routine.

Here are some great reasons to consider working with a personal trainer on your weightlifting program:

They can make sure you are using the right posture. This will help protect you from injuries as well as ensure you get the most out of the lifting. You want to make sure that the position you are in when you lift the weight is actually going to work the correct muscle.

A personal trainer also knows what weight/repetition combination will get you the most results for the type of fitness goals you have. After all, you don’t want to be lifting heavy weights if you don’t need to for just trying to get definition.

They will show you what type of weightlifting exercises work well for you and your capabilities, including any weaknesses or previous injuries you may have.

A personal trainer will push you to do more than you are likely to do for yourself. You may fall into a routine with what you do with weights that could lead you to plateau. They will show you how to mix it up a bit more and try new types of weightlifting exercises. Keeping you challenged will bring out the best in you.

It is possible to still lift weights at any age or condition. A personal trainer knows the right type of weightlifting plan for every type of person. And that includes kids, teens, seniors, and pregnant women. Even if you are an athlete, they will know what works for your sport, so you get the most out of weightlifting.

We have numerous success stories of people who have used weightlifting with personal trainers and achieved their fitness goals.

You can, too!

Once you take the potential life changing step and contact GPT, the next step is come in for a proper consultation. At GPT we hold a 30-60 min consultation with every client before we even step foot on the training floor. We feel it is essential to discover and uncover everything we possibly can about a client’s medical history, lifestyle, diet, and current fitness level before beginning training. The initial assessment includes BMI and body fat testing, optional weigh in and measurements, and establishing your basal metabolic rate. We also want to know exactly what the client’s goals are and what brought them to us in the first place.

We need this information in order to properly design the right program for each individual. Another important part of the consultation is explaining the science of training and how we will approach our sessions in order to meet the client’s goals. We want you to be educated about what we are doing and why we are doing it. The ultimate goal for every trainer should be to teach their clients how to keep themselves physically fit for life. We understand that no client will train with us forever, and therefore to truly serve our clients we must make sure we give them the tools to continue their progress even after they’ve left our gym.

COMPLETE YOUR COMPLIMENTARY SESSION

The third step is to test drive the car before you buy it. We happily give every potential new client a free one-hour training session before they choose their program. A GPT trainer will take you through an in depth one on one training session based on the goals and expectations we discussed during your consultation; educating you as we go on why we utilize specific movements or exercises and how these movements impact the body. We will closely monitor your heart rate, breathing, and muscle fatigue to assess your current fitness level and how you respond to different levels of intensity. It is not our goal to push clients to their breaking point in an introductory training session, but rather to expose them to what a training session consists of and feels like so that they can then make an informed buying decision.
