Reap The Rewards of Private Training
All the rich and famous celebrities have one. In fact, some are rich and famous themselves. But you don't have to be either
one to reap the benefits of hiring a private trainer.
More and more people, novice and veteran exercisers alike, are
working with private trainers because they offer a practical and affordable means of getting and staying healthy.
A
trainer for every body
Many automatically equate private training with gyms full of hard-core strength trainers and body
builders. This is only part of the picture. Anyone, young and old, in shape and out, can utilize a private trainer for a variety
of reasons.
For example, many professional and amateur athletes work with a private trainer during the off-season
to prepare themselves for in-season competition. Individuals recovering from an injury or accident may enlist the help of
a private trainer (in conjunction with their physical therapist) to get them back in top form.
The work of a majority
of private trainers focuses on increasing and/or maintaining their clients' fitness levels, assisting them in weight loss
and overseeing their strength-training and cardiovascular activities. Strength training, in particular, has received increased
recognition in recent years because the lack of strength is now known to be a risk factor for disease, especially for older
populations.
Tailor-made training
Private trainers wear many hats, serving not only as coach, but also as
confidant, role model, educator and a major source of motivation and encouragement.
Some people may want constant
supervision two to three times a week, which makes them more likely to stick to their program because they are accountable
to someone else for their exercise time. Others may prefer to see a trainer only on occasion to update their exercise program,
or for periodic fitness testing to receive feedback on their progress.
It is the novice exerciser, however, who may
find a private trainer most valuable. Working with a private trainer for a few sessions is often all it takes for some people
to feel comfortable with independent exercise.
The following describes the most common services offered to those beginning
an exercise program:
1. Fitness evaluation
This is a series of tests designed to assess cardiovascular fitness,
body-fat percentage, flexibility and muscular strength and endurance.
2. Personalized exercise program
An individualized
exercise program is designed based on the individual's fitness evaluation results and personal fitness and health goals.
3.
Supervised exercise
Personal attention during exercise is the primary function of personal trainers. Clients are given
a detailed orientation that addresses the aerobic, strength and flexibility components of the exercise program, and are educated
about the fundamentals of strength and aerobic training, as well as the proper and safe use of equipment.
Finally,
ask yourself if you could get along well with the trainer and whether or not they seem genuinely interested in helping you.
If they meet all your other prerequisites, this is the trainer to hire. Together, you and your trainer can determine your
best route to better health and fitness.
