For many people, hiring a personal trainer seems like something only pro athletes do. Why would someone who just wants to lose weight or get in shape invest in one-on-one coaching? There are actually a lot of reasons you might need a personal trainer.

What a Personal Trainer Does

Personal trainers know about fitness. They understand processes like fat burning and muscle growth. Further, they’ll help educate you on things like:

  • The most effective exercises for your goals
  • How to safely create holistic plans for each individual
  • How to utilize gym equipment to maximize your results
  • What it takes to reach certain fitness goals
  • How to tailor workouts for limitations or injuries
  • How to adapt and progress workout plans for individual needs

So it’s a myth that personal training is just for athletes, or the elite. Personal trainers help people like you reach your fitness goals all the time using their expertise.

You Might Need a Personal Trainer If…

If physical education class at school is the extent of your training, it’s going to be hard for you to successfully craft a workout plan. You’ll also be at risk of misusing equipment or performing exercises improperly. A trainer can help you get off the right foot.


You’re Lacking Motivation

Buying new sneakers or joining the gym can be exciting. Actually getting to the gym and working up the sweat takes a little more gusto. Personal trainers offer accountability and encouragement to help you stay focused and motivated.

You Want to Take Training to the Next Level

When you’ve been working out for a while, your routine can get too comfortable. That means it’s time to take your training to the next level so you keep growing and improving. A personal trainer can help you identify the next level and tell you exactly out how to reach it.

You’re Rehabilitating After an Injury

Whether you've found your workout causes too much strain or you’ve recently had an injury or operation, it’s important to rehabilitate. Personal training can help you find safe workout options to repair and rebuild after strain or injuries.

Trying new things at the gym is great! However, exercises can do more harm than good if they’re not done right. Asking a trainer for help can ensure you’re working out smartly and safely. This will help you maximize your workout.


You Don’t Have the Energy to Make Your Training Plan

Creating a training plan is a big task. Remembering it and following it at the gym can also be challenging. A trainer can design a plan just for you and can walk you through it.


You’re Looking to Lose Weight

Although the basics of losing weight are simple, some workouts are more effective than others. Part of what works best depends on your body, limitations, and lifestyle. Your personal trainer can create an individualized plan to make your weight loss efforts more successful.
