I think Personal Training is a great service. I am a PT, I have a PT, and every day I see a gym full of people enjoying the benefits of working alongside a professional.
Using a PT gives you the best value from your gym membership. A PT will help you set a good plan with appropriate goals and help you get there efficiently.
Training with your PT makes your hour at the gym more effective. You don't have to worry about which exercises you will be doing, how many sets or reps, how to adjust the equipment or whether you are doing the exercises correctly. You have the full attention of an expert and your fitness program is customised for any injuries or health concerns. Your PT can liaise with your medical professional to create the best exercise plan for you. They can also nag you mercilessly about doing the rehab exercises you'd otherwise neglect!
Having a PT doesn’t just help you with time management in the gym, if you and your PT are well organized then the sessions can be customized to your schedule outside the gym. Most of my clients come between one and three times a week, often we have base times in place but it’s different each week depending on work and family commitments. Many clients don’t come at all in the school holidays. That’s the great thing about personal training – unlike organized sport it fits entirely around your schedule so you can meet all of your personal obligations without letting a team down. You have the pressure of complete accountability with the benefit of complete flexibility.
Starting with a PT doesn’t necessarily mean a long term commitment. I encourage clients to begin with a month of sessions and consider them as a launch of a new regime with a view to going on independently afterwards. It’s hard to know what’s best for you until you try.
I know for myself that I really look forward to seeing my PT. Twice a week somebody else does all the thinking, all I have to do is show up and it’s all about me. At the end I feel great, I’ve made progress and I know in a general sense that I'm taking charge of my health. Well actually I'm not, somebody else is, that's the beauty of it! Most PTs have a PT, we believe in the model! If you’re looking for a way to get better results and enjoyment from your exercise maybe it’s time you gave it a try.
