You know that personal trainers are helpful but you may have decided to continue at the gym on your own. However, if you are looking to achieve some very specific results, here are the reasons why you should add a personal trainer to your fitness routine.
Lose Weight
Above all else, most of our personal training clients come to us because they want to lose weight. Either they don’t know where to start or they are not sure how much they should do. We have even had some of our gym members sign up for personal training because they are frustrated and not seeing results of weight loss doing it on their own.
With a personal trainer, you can focus in on the type of weight training and cardio you need that works for your body type, capabilities, age, and any other factors. Plus, we can discuss diet and suggest some nutritional strategies that you might not have tried going it alone.
Improve Cardiovascular Health
When we work alone or just with a gym buddy we might not push ourselves as hard as we really could go. Or, talking causes us to take the elliptical or Stairmaster a little slower than we should. However, with a personal trainer, they hold you accountable and don’t take any excuses for why you can’t go that extra quarter mile on the treadmill or do another 10 flights of stairs. It’s this drive to push you to your limit without hurting you that can really make the difference. 
Change Body Composition and Reduce Body Fat
If you think dropping those pounds can be challenging, just wait until you go it alone to tackle your body fat and composition figures. First, not everyone is clear on what these percentages mean and where they need to be to be considered healthy. Then, there is the confusion about what exercise and diet combination will help promote lean body mass and make that fat melt away.
Trained to understand this, a personal trainer can create a regimen for you around your goals and what is considered healthy while then following up to make sure you stay on track. Plus, they can answer questions more accurately then what is on the Internet.
Sculpt and Tone Your Physique
Like all the other benefits listed here, we also have gym members who tried to go it alone and did manage to drop some of the weight but didn’t quite get the toned look they were hoping for — that is until they started working with a personal trainer. Knowing the best exercises, weight amounts, and reps for your goals, a personal trainer will show you how to get that body.
