WHY HAVE A PERSONAL TRAINER
I think the main question should be, why not have a personal trainer? Think of all of the monthly subscription/memberships you might have- Netflix, the tanning bed, “wine of the month” club, Hulu, Stitch Fix, Birchbox…it goes on. I’m not bashing any of these monthly “joys”, we all need our winddown time and various forms of luxuries, but what is keeping you from paying a monthly “subscription” for your health and well-being?
By hiring a personal trainer, you have gained an “accountability buddy”. They’re great with giving you the initial push that you might need to get started as well as the continual push to keep you going in the path of your goals. They actually want to see you succeed with your goals and dreams and will make sure you keep going in that direction. They can be the first person you text after a workout…or the first person that texts you when they haven’t heard from you in a day or so just to check in and to see how you are doing.
Your personal trainer will work with you so that you are able to overcome your fears of working out or to help gently push you out of your comfort zone with workouts, or just working out in general. They will make working out fun and something you look forward to as part of your day. They may even schedule a few workouts with you to make working out a social thing!
Your personal trainer will be your cheerleader as you hit your goals, or the person to remind you to not give up if something seems “too hard”. They will know just the right amount of push to keep you moving forward in a way that you will be able to transform on your own schedule without making things impossible.
With your personal trainer, you will get into a routine which will make working out a part of your life. You will begin looking forward to your workouts or to text them afterwards and let them know how you did. You’ll become happier and in a better mood because you did work out. Working out builds endorphins. You’ll soon be too busy focusing on becoming a better version of yourself that you won’t care what others are doing, and that’s a good thing! Your physical and mental well-being will make you a happier better version of yourself. So, what is stopping you from hiring a personal trainer?
