Why Personal Training 
is important

Why Personal Training is importanta graphical element

As a gym that specialises in one-on-one personal training, one of the questions we most get asked is ‘why do I need a personal trainer? After all, personal training doesn’t come free, and it can feel like a big commitment. When going for a run costs nothing at all and many apartment buildings come with their own gym, it’s natural to question whether personal training is really worth it. However, as experts in the field of fitness, we can reassure you that yes, personal training is absolutely worth every penny.

While some people are quite happy working out by themselves, most individuals [are guaranteed to] benefit hugely from personal training, whatever your fitness or wellness goals might be. It can play an incredibly important part in helping you to achieve your goals. So, whether you’ve been working out for most of your life, or you’re trying to find the courage to enter a gym for the very first time, here are seven reasons why personal training can help you take your health and fitness to the next level.

1. Customised training plans

One of the main benefits of personal training is that it provides you with a customized fitness plan that has been specifically tailored to your goals, fitness level, preferences, and schedule. 

For instance, at Embody Fitness, all our personal training programs begin with a consultation session where your personal trainer will listen to your goals and objectives, and assess your abilities, strengths, weaknesses, likes, and dislikes. They will use this information to create a personalized programme for you that is filled with purposeful and efficient workouts that are exactly geared towards your goals. Our experienced team of personal trainers have an abundance of experience that allows them to know exactly how to structure both your workouts and how to get the most impactful results.

Of course, you can find many generic training plans on the internet. However, they haven’t been created to suit you, your lifestyle or your body, and so they will never be as effective as a personalised plan, and they may never get you the body you want.

2. Motivation & accountability

Most of us benefit from having someone to hold us accountable on our fitness journey. But, unlike a friend or family member, your personal trainer will know exactly when to accept your excuses about why you have to miss a workout. They will make sure you stay committed to your fitness journey, and that you stick to your workout and eating plans.

Not only that, but they will also encourage you to push beyond your comfort zone, and get the most out of every session. Along with providing friendly encouragement, a really valuable personal trainer will provide you with regular progress updates, facts and figures that show you how far you have come, help you understand the changes that are happening in your body and your life and motivate you to strive for more.

A really dedicated personal trainer’s input and support will be able to be felt both inside and outside the gym, helping you to stay focused and achieve more.

3. Education

Every health and fitness influencer claims to be an expert in exercise and nutrition, and it can be hard to know which bits of advice to follow. However, highly qualified and experienced personal trainers are genuine experts in their fields, and you should always be able to trust their guidance. Personal training allows you to become educated in all aspects of health, fitness and exercise, and it teaches you to recognise the fitness myths from the facts. 

Always available to answer any questions that you have along the way, personal trainers provide beginners with a safe and informative introduction into the world of fitness, and even experienced fitness fanatics can benefit from their expertise and knowledge of the latest exercise techniques.

4. Safety

Going into a gym and blindly guessing how to use the machines and equipment puts you at risk of injury. On the other hand, hiring a personal trainer allows you to learn how to work out safely. Personal fitness training programmes take you through how to master proper form and technique, and your personal trainer will ensure that you avoid unnecessary injuries that hinder your process.

5. Variation

It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with your workouts, but a personal trainer makes sure that every session is different, engaging, and interesting. 

Even if you’ve been working out for years, there’s always new things to learn, and personal trainers can introduce you to new equipment, techniques, and exercise styles that will take your fitness to the next level. A trainer takes the time and effort out of planning and deciding what to do every time they visit the gym, and they keep all your sessions fresh and exciting.

6. Time efficient

When you have a busy schedule, you can’t afford not to make the most of every minute of your workouts. Personal trainers are skilled at designing efficient and effective workout routines that help you achieve optimal results in minimal time. They will arrange your personal training sessions around your schedule and demonstrate why you don’t need to spend hours in the gym every day to achieve noticeable results.

Personal fitness training programmes take you through how to master proper form and technique, and your personal trainer will ensure that you avoid unnecessary injuries that hinder your process.
