Everyone makes New Year's Resolutions, but many people unfortunately fall off the wagon before the year barely begins! If you're the kind of person that doesn't enjoy exercising but you have some weight loss or fitness goals, consider working with a personal trainer. It's hard to get motivated to slip on those sneakers or climb on that treadmill, or even harder, get to the gym when you're busy and have plenty of excuses not to! That's where a personal trainer comes in.

What’s so great about a personal trainer?

When you start working out with a personal trainer , you make yourself accountable. You are paying someone to help you complete your goals, so you may as well show up, right? Treat your personal trainer as any other important appointment that benefits your health. It's also a good idea for beginners not to jump on a piece of exercise equipment without knowing it's the right one for you. A personal trainer tailors and customizes a program for your own skill level, goals, and needs so you know you're doing the workout you should be doing.

Is personal training hard?

Personal trainers challenge you. If you think of exercise as boring, think again. A personal trainer constantly changes it up to make every session unique and fun, so you never have the chance to get bored. You stay engaged and active in the workouts. Working out with a personal trainer means you have made a commitment to not only stick to your New Year's resolutions, but a lifetime of healthy living. 

Is personal training safe?

Personal trainers are highly trained professionals. They know how to exercise safely, even if you've never done anything more strenuous than walk across a parking lot. They can teach you how to work out at home when you can't get to the gym. They can help you with a special condition, such as a sports injury, or the best exercises if you have arthritis or muscle issues. A personal trainer also helps keep you safe at the gym. You may think some of the equipment looks a little scary, but a trainer takes the fear away by showing you the proper way to use it to your own benefit. A personal trainer gives you what an exercise class or regular gym situation can't give you-personal attention. And, all those endorphins will make you feel great!
