5 Signs You Should Engage in Personal Training

Is personal training worth it? Why should I choose personal training over group classes or exercising on my own?

If you’re on the fence about engaging in personal training, here are 5 signs that may just encourage you to try it.

1. Lack of Results

Exercising consistently yet not seemingly getting anywhere can be really demoralising. Exercising is tough, it requires focus, physical exertion, and even takes time out from our busy schedules. So when we don’t have results to show for our hard work, we tend to avoid it.

But instead of avoiding it, personal training can help you get the results that you’re looking for.

Personal trainers can customise a program for you that is individualised to your goals and your needs. Not only that, they can help to keep you motivated and push you to do your best at each session.

2. Need of Motivation

Motivation is difficult when you have so many other things on your plate that exercising can sound too exhausting to even think about.

Without someone to hold you accountable, you start skipping days, then skipping weeks, and before you know it you don’t even remember the last time you exercised.

A trainer can help to take into account your schedule and design simple programs that you can do even when you are unable to make it for your weekly session. They can help you learn the basics such as types of training, intensity and frequency so that you know exactly what to do!

3. Need to Be Challenged

Doing the same thing every week can be repetitive and boring, and it may even come to a point where you feel like there isn’t a “kick” to it compared to when you first started.

Not sure what to do? Well, a personal trainer does! They can guide you to safely progress your workout routine and even find new ways to help you improve so you’ll always be challenged.

If all else fails, the pressure of having a personal trainer standing over you while you exercise will definitely encourage you to not slack off.

4. Present Pre-existing Conditions

Pre-existing conditions can come in different forms, whether it’s an injury or a medical condition, or even physical changes such as pregnancy.

In this case, seeking a professional for your exercise is always the answer. Exercise puts stress on our body, and the subsequent recovery makes it stronger. But if our body cannot keep up with the stress, it may break down our body more than building it up.

Personal trainers have the knowledge and the experience to know what you can and cannot do, and also to do it safely so as to not worsen the pre-existing condition or put your life at risk.

Do ensure that when choosing your personal trainer that they are familiar with your condition and have your doctor’s approval before going ahead.

5. Training for a Competition or Event

Training for something is completely different from general health and fitness.

If you are training for something, getting a personal trainer is always a good idea because they can direct you to exercises that are most suitable for your event.

That is just one part of it, creating a suitable training schedule, avoiding injury and even nutrition and recovery advice can be given to maximise your performance.

So, do any of these sound like you?

Finding the Right Personal Trainer for You

Finding a personal trainer is easy, but finding the right trainer for you may not be as such.

Each trainer is different, and so it is important to know exactly what kind of trainer you need.

Here are some things that you should look out for when finding the right personal trainer for you!

Asks about your goals

Personal training is – as you probably know – personal. This means that your personal trainer must be willing to ask about your goals so that they know exactly what to plan for your exercise journey in order to achieve them.

Not only that, they should be able to explain how their program will get you there in an easy to understand manner so you understand what you are doing weekly!

Ask about you

Not just about your medical history or on any preexisting conditions, personal trainers need to take into account your daily routines, your diet and your exercise habits in order to prescribe an effective program for you.

Exercise is only one aspect of your health and fitness journey. Your recovery, nutrition and habits all play a part, and a good personal trainer will know how to plan accordingly.

Flexible

Flexibility and adaptability is extremely important in a personal trainer. Holding you accountable is one part of the job, but being flexible is crucial in establishing a routine.

Our routines are not fixed, and there are weeks where you may not be able to attend your session. With a flexible trainer, you won’t miss out on sessions unnecessarily and can keep up on your weekly exercise even with a busy schedule.

Are you ready to begin your personal training journey?

Why not begin it with us here at Active Zone! Not only do we have great personal trainers who definitely can cater to you and your fitness goals, we provide both gym based and kickboxing based personal training which you can choose from!

Personal Training Perks 2.0

In our blogpost last Saturday, we mentioned three Personal Training Perks that are only exclusive to those who attend Personal Training Sessions. If you’re still adamant about spending those extra dollars on those benefits, then today’s blogpost is written with you in mind! Here are three more reasons why you should consider Personal Training, so read on for more.

Accountability

For those of us who lack exercise motivation and are expert procrastinators who never start doing what they’ve planned until the very last minute, here’s a tip for you: Get a Personal Trainer, it solves your problems! For one, they’re able to make you more accountable since you have someone to report to for your weekly workout routine. Knowing that you have an appointment with them weekly also makes it tougher for you to cancel on them at the very last minute since you’ve also paid for the sessions. Furthermore, they’re professionally certified instructors with the relevant expertise on fitness, so you definitely don’t wish to miss any opportunities to ask or receive guidance from them!

Safety

Another worthy point to take into consideration is the fact that your safety will surely be in good hands. As professionals, they’ll know of the steps to take to ensure that you do not overexert yourself and cause injuries or strains in the process of doing so. Simply inform them of any prior exercise related injuries you’ve had, or anything they should take note of before commencing your first workout session with them. This way, they’ll be able to better customise and modify exercises for you, which will prove to be a safer and more effective approach compared to doing it on your own. Think of it as paying a few more extra dollars to ensure your safety – its pretty worth it in the long run!

Comfort

 Last but not least, Personal Trainers provide more comfort when it comes to your weekly workout sessions with them. If you’ve had any burning questions regarding health and fitness, they’re the most suitable ones whom you can direct it all to! Additionally, they’re more flexible with meetup locations, so if you wish to find them from the convenience of your own home, they’ll take the trip down to meet you, allowing you to save extra time and cost simultaneously. Isn’t that effective?

How to tell if I need Personal Training

Contemplating if you require a Personal Trainer? Unsure if you’re able to do exercises on your own without any prior experience or proper guidance? If this is you, then you may want to consider Personal Training under the guidance of an experienced, certified fitness instructor.

Lack of discipline

If you’re someone who needs greater accountability in your fitness routine, then Personal Training Sessions may work for you! You’ll have a lesser chance of snoozing your usual workout routine with a Trainer around, since they’ll be doing most of the work for you! They’re able to customise workout plans according to which part of the body you wish to work on, so you won’t have to go through the hassle of researching for new exercises every time to make yourself motivated to exercise.

Lack of experience

Oftentimes, the lack of experience makes it difficult for a fitness newbie to start exercising. With a professional Personal Trainer around to help guide you along the way, you won’t have to worry about not knowing how to execute certain exercises, especially if it has to deal with gym machines and foreign equipment. Their expertise also helps you to supervise and correct your form, so you won’t have to risk any exercise-related injuries in the event of inexperience regarding a certain type of workout.

Past exercise related injuries

If you’ve had injuries in the past caused about by exercising or participation in other sports activities, then it’s better to seek a Personal Trainer to ensure that you won’t exacerbate the old wound injury when exercising on your own. By informing them of prior workout related injuries, they’re able to better customise a suitable workout plan for you which prevents you from further injuring yourself in the future. That way, your safety is ensured as you continue working out, which helps to allay the worries you might have, allowing yourself to better focus on the exercise at hand.

Looking for a Personal Trainer?

We’re already halfway through 2022. You think of the fitness goals you’ve set out for yourself in your new year’s resolution and heave a sigh of defeat. Don’t give up just yet – we have a solution for you! Personal Training sessions can help to accelerate your workout process, allowing you to attain those long lost goals. Today, we’ll discuss about how a Personal Trainer benefits you and the services they offer.

Personalised Workout Plans

This is one of the major exclusive benefit only Personal Trainers are able to provide. Have had previous workout injuries in specific places? Want to focus on toning up a certain body area? Wish to workout with more machines and equipment but unsure of how to? A Personal Trainer can help with all these concerns! All you have to do is list down what you wish to achieve and what you want to get out of the sessions, and they’ll be able to curate suitable workout plans that align with your goals. Isn’t that amazing?

Nutrition Advice

Additionally, they’re also able to provide you with dietary and nutrition advice so you’ll know what food to consume more of and what to avoid. By doing so, you can achieve your desired body much faster since you’re regulating your diet and exercising substantially at the same time. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking to bulk up or slim down, Personal Trainers have the expertise to look after all your nutritional needs, so that’s another plus point!

Accountability

Lastly, if you’re someone who exercises alone and loses motivation frequently because there’s no source of accountability, here’s where a Personal Trainer comes in! Not only can they help to ensure that you stay disciplined throughout the entire session, you’ll also be less likely to cancel on appointments with them since you’ve already paid for the package. Furthermore, they’ll be able to encourage and support you through your fitness journey, so you won’t ever have to dread working out as much again!

Need more accountability in your fitness journey?

“I’ll exercise tomorrow instead”. Does this sentence ring a bell? Well, if you’re guilty as charged or if it reminds you of the fitness goals you planned but left behind in your New Year’s resolution, maybe it’s time to hire a Personal Trainer to help you kickstart and sustain a healthy lifestyle once and for all! Today, we’ll discuss the perks of having a Personal Trainer guide you along the way such that you can achieve better health in no time.

Instills Discipline

Though the prospect of hiring a Personal Trainer may seem intimidating at first, it’s actually not as bad as it seems. The perks of having a professional instructor present during your workouts prevents you from slacking off or ending your session earlier than expected. Moreover, if you want to make the package a bang for your buck, chances are that you’ll stay on to complete the workout plan that they’ve curated for you to make it worth. In turn, this allows you to stay more disciplined as you’ll be required to power through the entire session and not give up that easily.

Diet and Nutrition Advice

Did you know that Personal Trainers are also capable of providing you with diet and nutrition advice other than planning your weekly workout schedules? If you wish to speed up the healthy living process, you can also consult them on what foods to avoid and what to consume more of in order to maintain a healthy and balanced diet. This can also allow you to make small lifestyle changes slowly but surely, from binge eating habits to late night supper fests. All these services are included in the Personal Training package, so make sure to utilise them to the fullest!

Flexibility

Lastly, since Personal Training sessions cost more money than usual gym sessions, there are added benefits that the average Joe won’t receive – like the flexibility of weekly workout schedules. This is exceptionally beneficial, especially if you’re someone who doesn’t have a fixed schedule or often have last minute events of affairs to attend to. Additionally, you also have the privilege of choosing where you wish for classes to be conducted, be it at your own home or a gym studio nearby your living quarters.

Personal Training: Costs and Benefits

For many of us, Personal Training seems to be too foreign a term for us, in a way where the hefty price tag always comes to mind whenever we think about signing Personal Training Session Packages. Hence, in today’s blogpost, we’ll be going through a cost benefit analysis on hiring a Personal Trainer for those who are caught in a dilemma deciding between to go or not to go.

Costs

Firstly, it’s apparent that Personal Training classes entail monetary costs that may not be affordable to everyone, especially for frugal individuals with a tight budget constraint. Usually, you’ll be required to sign a package that may span from a month to a half a year or more, which means the expenses incurred have to be seriously taken into consideration. Additionally, the opportunity costs have to be taken into account: if you do not sign up for the package, what’s the next best alternative you can do with this amount of money on your hands? Lastly, your time also has to be considered, since you’ll be spending a few hours a week on sessions with your trainer, so choose wisely! Do you have to set aside time for other big projects that are coming your way, or just social time with family and friends?

Benefits

Now, we’ll be mentioning the benefits of Personal Training you have to take into account when taking up the package. First, it’s obvious that you’ll be able to get full attention from your trainer, which will help avert the potential risk of exercise related injuries due to things like insufficient information on how to perform the workout properly, or simply due to having a wrong form during execution. Furthermore, you can also receive personalised diet and nutrition advice from your trainers, since they are equipped with the relevant knowledge on health and fitness and how to achieve your ideal body goal. Lastly, you won’t have to go through the trouble of procrastination or having to come up with your own workout plans ever again, since a trainer helps to keep you accountable while also allowing you to edit your workout schedules flexibly according to your own routine.

Conclusion

Now that you’ve read through and gained important insights on the costs and benefits of Personal Training, it’s now time for you to conduct your own cost benefit analysis to see which choice suits you best. Should you feel a need to sign up for Personal Training classes, do consider the ones at Active Zone!
