  • Is your current program not getting you the results you want?
  • Finding it hard to stay motivated

Getting started with a trainer

The initial step is to arrange a consultation. During the consultation, which lasts approximately 1 hour, your trainer will gather as much information on your medical and exercise history as possible in order to create the best program for you. Next your trainer will establish realistic goals and discuss the strategies that will be used to accomplish them. Body fat testing, body girth measurements, flexibility, strength testing and nutritional analyses may all be done during the consultation process.

The trainer will then go away and design a program that is best suited to your goals, exercise experience and current level of fitness. The next time you meet with your trainer, you will start weight resistance and cardiovascular training. Your trainer will demonstrate proper form and technique and explain to you the fundamentals behind the specific training that you are focusing on. Although high intensity training is the ultimate goal, you can expect to take it easy for the first couple of sessions to allow your body to adjust to the new style of training.

The role of the personal trainer is changing. It used to be that celebrities and wealthy individuals were the only people that used trainers. Today the personal trainer is a trained professional that has been educated to work with various types of clients. Children as young as 7 years old, 80 year old men and women, obese adults, athletes and rehabilitation clients all benefit from working with a trainer. Clients are using personal trainers for: fat loss, weight gain, flexibility, improve posture, alleviate stress, increase energy, rehab and injury, and improve quickness and general health benefits.
