Personal Training — A roadmap to get you started
I had an interesting e-mail recently from someone saying they were in their 50s and out of shape and asking if I work “with people like that”
It kinda made me take a pause. Everyone is unique and everyone is an individual. Fitness and personal training are not about living up to someone else’s ideal. It is about living healthy and being happy IN YOUR EYES.
I have clients who come to me and can barely (or not even) walk. I have clients who are very overweight and scared of the health issues they are facing. I have people who have never worked out before. I have people who are athletes and are looking to play professionally or improve their game.
Personal training is P-E-R-S-O-N-A-L. The reasons you do it are yours alone. How long you want to train with a trainer (or how often) are your choices. Many people know that they cannot afford a trainer 3 times forever. But they know that once a week (and doing their other workout sessions alone) keeps them on track.
So try not to assume that personal training is for someone else (or just for celebrities). It can be for anyone in some shape or form. You may not want (or be able to afford) a ton of sessions — so what. Do a few and show up to every single one on time, warmed up and ready to work out — and get the most bang for your buck.
