The Unique and Wonderful Machine Called YOU — The real deal from Douglasville Personal Trainer Dave Hansey
You are a unique creature. Not trying to be corny here — it is just that you are the only person on the Earth who has your genetics as well as your unique set of circumstances from your life.
Did you break your arm in 4th grade?
Are you allergic to shellfish?
Did you have rheumatic fever (most people don’t even know what that is anymore but my father had it when he was a child and it shaped his whole life)
What I am trying to say is that only you have your unique set of circumstances. So a program designed for you SPECIFICALLY is going to be the best for you. Classes may be fun and they can be a great addition but they are just that — an addition. The best workout is one designed for you. It is like custom made clothing – always better.
Now a comment to people who have medical conditions. A personal trainer cannot “give you some moves” This really goes for anyone but it is CRITICAL for anyone with hypertension, arthritis, joint issues, diabetes and a host of other conditions. I have people who are in cardio surgery rehab who have asked me “for a few moves” ARE YOU SERIOUS???
Believe me I fully understand that there are financial considerations and you want to keep your training within a budget. But I cannot effectively give you any exercise without knowing you.
It is one of the reasons that my new group fitness classes is restricted to personal training clients only. I am just more comfortable with ensuring your safety and giving you an effective workout.
Yes, I would rather give you nothing at all than suggest something that may not work for you. And that is not cruel — that is SAFETY.
