Summer is well and truly over and this is often the time that many people think about their health and fitness goals. In fact, as a personal training studio, September and October are busier months for us than January and February!
If you’re sat thinking about starting your fitness journey with a personal trainer but you’re worried about some of the myths you might have heard then we are here to set the record straight.
MYTH 1
You need to be fit to have a personal trainer.
FACT
This could not be further from the truth. If you’re a beginner then working with a personal trainer is a good thing. A personal trainer will teach you good form and the right approach to your training and nutrition. We create workouts for YOU, with YOUR fitness levels and exercise background and YOUR medical history in mind. A good personal trainer should be able to tailor their sessions to each and every one of their clients.
MYTH 2
We push people to their limits
FACT
Believe me we’re not in this game to be cleaning up vomit! Yes, we may challenge you and we may push you out of your comfort zone but it’s never to the extreme of making someone sick or that they can’t go back to work! We encourage and challenge but still within your abilities….sometimes we just know more than you about what you are capable of!
MYTH 3
We’re like Sargeant Majors and shout at people
FACT
We are here to support and encourage our clients in a non-judgemental way, not shout at them! We some times might get over excited when you’re hitting a new PB but we never shout at our clients.
