Who benefits the most from having a personal trainer? Really, who needs one with all of the information that's available on the internet today?

For anyone who thinks that a Personal Trainer is just someone who tells you which exercise to do, think again.

Here are 4 reasons to consider having a personal trainer guide your fitness journey:

1. EXPERTISE:

Yes, the internet is rich with fitness information. But the internet doesn't know you. It doesn't understand your fitness level, and how that impacts your fitness goal. The internet doesn't know what you like or what motivates you? All it can do is throw up a list of exercises that could possibly get you towards your goal.

A personal trainer in a reputed fitness centre has spent several years of his or her life studying the human body and exercise science. He or she knows how to gauge your fitness, your interests and your goals, and can design the best fitness program for you. Not just some generic list of exercises; one that works for you.

2. TECHNIQUE AND SAFETY:

Videos, blogs and articles can give you a lot of useful information. But they won't be standing next to you to track your technique, ensure you're moving safely through exercises and doing what's best for your body.

A Personal trainer's first priority is to get you to do your workout correctly. If your technique isn't correct, the exercise won't help, no matter how hard you push yourself. And you could injure yourself, setting back your progress. A personal trainer will ensure you don't waste your time doing things wrong.

3. RESULTS:

Everyone wants quick results. So we are quick to fall prey to articles that promise 'Weight loss in 7 days', "Six pack in 4 weeks', "Belly Fat gone in One Month'. These shortcuts never work.

A good personal trainer will tell you that the only thing that works is consistent effort and will guide you through it. By designing a fitness program specific to your body, a personal trainer will ensure that you are using your workout time wisely and that every single exercise you do is contributing towards reaching your fitness goal. The result is RESULTS.

4 MOTIVATION:

Videos and exercise lists can tell you what to do, but they can't cheer you on as you do it. They can't push you to achieve your best. They can't tell you to keep going when you want to quit.

A personal trainer will. This is one of the most important components of their job. To keep you going. To help ensure your success. They will help you achieve your personal best, and not let you cheat on your fitness. Personal trainers know how much you can do and will extract the best out of you. And will celebrate every small victory with you. After all, when you get fit, they know they're doing their job right.
