Why Would You hire a Personal Trainer?

There are many reasons why someone would hire a CERTIFIED personal trainer:

SAFETY - Form is crucial when working out and it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or more advanced. You can easily injure yourself by exercises incorrectly. If you have a trainer coaching you through every rep, injury can usually be avoided. It is important to learn proper form on every single exercise

ACCOUNTABILITY -  Ever think " Ohhh, I'm going to work out after work", then 8 hours later say "um, no I'm going home"? We all have! Having a scheduled appointment with a trainer, that you have paid  for, you will be less likely to back out. Aside from losing the cash, you will feel the pressure of not letting your trainer down.

CHALLENGING - Trying to challenge yourself is difficult. If you are always doing the same work out it can get boring. A trainer will mix up your usual routine and stunt your muscles in a whole new direction. I had a client who told me she thought she always worked out hard until she hired a trainer and realized she was just coating through her normal routine.

RESULTS - Depending on your training intensity (weights, cardio, nutrition & goals), it usually takes anywhere from 4-8 weeks to see results. It really depends on how hard your work. Some clients tell me their jeans fit differently after 2 weeks. I think that is rare and they were busting their butts, doing plenty of home work at the local track.
