I won’t lie getting to the gym is HARD, but having a personal training makes it easier and worth it. A personal trainer is there to help go side by side with you through your fitness journey so that you will become the best version of yourself!
Let me introduce you to this amazing lady!
This is Celina and she’s a wife, mother, and grandmother. She’s strong willed and works very hard. Celina loves taking Shape Fitness‘ group fitness classes like gym jab, yoga, as well as our Team Training!!!
Celina started her health journey when she was 28 years old. As we all know, life is full of ups and downs. When Celina was overwhelmed last year by a serious family issue, she decided to start a “stress loss” journey. Rather than give in to the depression, she decided to join Shapes Fitness and lose the “weight” that she was carrying on her shoulders. She met seven strong and supportive women who all wanted to focus on becoming our best, which led her to training with Janette Laura. Celina says Janette “has helped me change my body and my mindset, as well as shed my stress, by helping me tap into my inner strength. She helps me push myself to leave all the stress as drops of sweat on the gym floor. I’m happier, healthier, and getting some decent muscles…win, win!!”
The 10 Benefits of Personal Training
1. Avoid Injury
This may seem a bit obvious, but so many people go into a gym and have no idea how to actually use the equipment. It is important to take the time and properly learn how to use the workout equipment safely, so that your exercises will be effective and avoid any potential injury.
2. Motivation
Personal trainers are really there to motivate you! They want to see you succeed, so they are going to be your biggest cheerleaders cheering you on every step of the way of your fitness journey. Every big and small victory your personal trainer will be with you motivating you to keep going!
3. Accountability
How many mornings do you wake up and press snooze and say, “I’ll go tomorrow …”? The answer is too often. Imagine where you could be today if you started working out the very first day you pressed snooze. Personal trainers hold you accountable. They have an expectation that you will show up every time, since you a paying more than a typical gym membership.
4. Faster and Better Results
By having a personal trainer you will be able to achieve your fitness goals faster and have better results. Your trainer will have a consultation with you and they will learn what your body needs to be at its’ best and will make an effective fitness plan accordingly.
5. Overcome Plateaus
It can be hard to bounce back into a workout routine, especially after taking time off or even having a baby. Personal trainers help guide you back into a routine that works with your schedule. At Shapes Fitness for Women in Flower Mound they have FREE childcare, no more mommy guilt of leaving the babies home!
6. No Wasted Time
Often times when I walk into a gym, I tend to linger from the treadmill to other machines and stay for about 10 minutes until I gather up the strength to move to the weights. I’ll stay on the weights for about five reps and then I call it a day. By having a personal trainer you will not be wasting your time! They get you in and out of the gym, but in an efficient way. There is no time wasted contemplating “how to use this” or “should I do it like this.”
7. Challenge You
Maybe you have been going to the gym your whole life, but suddenly your normal routine is not having the same results as it once did. A personal trainer is there to switch up your workouts, so that you are constantly improving and not overworking yourself to the point of where your muscles are never getting a break!
8. Personalized
They will develop a plan that is tailored to your wants and needs. For example if you are coming off of an injury, they are going to make a workout plan that is modified. Every exercise will be personalized to your body type to give you the best results.
9. Establish Healthy Habits
Not only are personal trainers there to guide you through your workouts, but they can also help create a diet plan for your specific needs. After going to the gym with your personal trainer regularly, you will notice yourself wanting to go to the gym and make healthy food decisions.
10. Fun
Trust us, working out can be fun! By having a personal trainer that you actually enjoy, it allows you to have fun while working out! And when you see all your hard work paying off it is FUN to show it off!
