Rewind 5 years and I would be found in the studio. 

From spin to Pilates, Body attack to balance, I did them ALL. 

We’re talking 30 classes a week, 7 days a week, commuting from gym to gym whilst learning choreography and making routines… but something wasn’t QUITE right. 

Despite the latest releases, my passion for the classes and my motivation… members weren’t changing shape… they were getting fitter but only in the realm of the class they were doing- it wasn’t translating to real life… 

I HATED the thought of the gym, hated even lifting weights… but slowly and gradually I started to learn, to read more and more and realise that I wanted more for my clients, wanted to serve them in a more personalised and thought out way. 

Now, as a personal trainer, I believe that personal training offers several unique advantages compared to a gym membership or group classes.

Here are some reasons why personal training is essential:

• Personalization: One of the most significant benefits of personal training is the personalised approach. Each individual has unique fitness goals, body types, and fitness levels. I tailor workouts and programs specifically to meet the client’s needs, ensuring efficient and effective progress whatever their goal whether that be weight loss, gain or simply increased fitness. 
• Customised Programs: I design customised workout programs that take into account your fitness level, any pre-existing medical conditions, and your specific goals. This level of customization is challenging to achieve in a general gym setting or a group class but means that you are working out in a safe, effective and focussed way. 
• Accountability: As a personal trainer, I provide a level of accountability that can be lacking when working out independently. Knowing that someone is expecting you for a session makes it more likely that you’ll stick to your fitness routine. 
• Motivation and Support: I’m here not just to guide you through exercises; but to provide motivation and emotional support. I help you overcome mental hurdles, push through plateaus, and most importantly celebrate your achievements, creating a positive and encouraging environment.
• Education: Proper exercise techniques, nutrition, and overall wellness is absolutely imperative. This knowledge empowers my clients to make informed choices about their health and fitness even outside of training sessions.
• Efficiency: Your personal training sessions are designed to be efficient, maximising the benefits of each workout. This can be especially valuable for individuals with busy schedules, balancing work and childcare and usually a dog scrambled in the middle! 
•  Goal Setting and Tracking: We work to set realistic and achievable fitness goals, tracking progress over time, making adjustments to the workout plan as needed. This systematic approach ensures your success.
• Prevention of Injuries: Something I am most passionate about is the emphasising of proper form and technique to reduce the risk of injury during workouts. I also modify exercises based on any existing injuries or limitations, ensuring a safe and effective training experience whilst researching anything that I am unsure of. Your health matters 
• Time-Efficient Results: With my focused attention and guidance my clients experience faster and more noticeable results compared to those who follow a generic gym routine or attend group classes.

While gym memberships and classes certainly have their place and often give so much community and friendship, personal training provides a comprehensive and tailored approach that maximises the chances of long-term success in achieving fitness goals.

So with that in mind… what are you waiting for?

Here you have the reasons to start personal training…Do you need any more convincing!?!
