With several misconceptions about training and fitness with no real guidance on what’s accurate, fitness experts are needed. Though personal trainers aren't for everyone, they provide certain benefits that you can't find when working out on your own or with someone with similar fitness backgrounds. In addition, they help you achieve your health goals more accurately and successfully.
Here are some reasons why personal trainers are important from NYC based fitness expert, sports model and personal trainer Jennifer Cassetty:
• Make You Get Off Your Bottom! – Motivation is one of the primary reasons people deviate from their exercise regimes. Personal trainers serve as the “voice” to push people to stick with a consistent exercise program.
• Focus - People need to have a focus (set goals) when they come in to the gym, or they won't come in. Also, it helps the trainer know how to keep their attention, track their progress, set new goals, keep their progression growing in order to take their health to new levels and maybe beyond their performance they originally set goals for. Trainers should meet, reach, and exceed the client's goals and fill in the blanks (i.e. nutrition, heart health, sport performance, strength training, posture and alignment) that the client may not know they are missing.
• Specially Designed Programs - If you have any chronic health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe, efficient program that considers these needs and enable you to reach your health goals.
• Accuracy - Personal Trainers know their stuff. They pinpoint regimes that will target problem areas so you don’t waste your time doing menial exercises.
• Improve Technical Skills - If you play a particular sport, the right personal trainer will help you improve your skill by showing you new training techniques specific to your sport. The Trainer will incorporate skills training into your program so you improve not only your strength and endurance, but your agility and mental focus as well.
• Compliments Everyday Life - Daily activities, such as lifting, working on computers....dancing (broadway people....) generally have a stronger side or perform similar movements that create a tightness or muscular strength either in your chest and shoulders (computer work...so people need to work upper back for posture balance.) Dancers generally take off on a strong side or choreography and males holding females on one side....can create an imbalance, so gym work can help with resistance training, stretching, or strengthen the opposite side, so the spine can stay in correct posture.
• You Are New To Exercise - If you are an absolute beginner, a personal trainer is the ultimate fitness coach. A good trainer will introduce you to a very simple, effective routine and build efficiently so before you know it, you have the confidence and knowledge to decide what is right for you.
• Deviate From The Routine For Better Results – If you’ve been training for some time now, and you’re stuck doing the same routine with little results, a personal trainer is the perfect solution. A trainer will jump start, not only your motivation, but your routine as well.
• Learn How To Be Solo - If you plan on being a solo star, a trainer is the perfect solution to teach you the basics.
• Safety First – Several people tend to give up easily at the first sight of confusion or discomfort. Trainers watch our form and will push us to our limits without putting us at risks.
• Personal Attention - Many personal trainers make house calls. If you don't have the type or interest in going to a gym, but have a hard time knowing what to do on your own at home, a personal trainer can bring fitness into your living room.
• Transform Your Body – The primary reason why we exercise or hire a trainer is to transform your body. If you made a resolution to lose the fat and build the muscle, a trainer can keep you on track and help you realize that goal.
