What Is a Personal Trainer?

A certified personal trainer is someone who has the expertise, educational background and diagnostic know-how to design an individualized exercise program. Once your trainer has found out what your goals are, he or she can tailor a program to help you achieve them. With a trainer's guidance, you can maximize your results in a minimal amount of time.

What's a Training Session Like?

At the beginning of your first private exercise session and consultation, your trainer will discuss your fitness goals. Your goals will be as individual as your are. By taking into account what you most want to achieve, your trainer can design a program that is just right for you. Together you will set long- and short-term goals.

Your first session will include questions and assessment tests to give your trainer an idea of your "starting point" in the areas of cardiovascular fitness, muscular strength and endurance, joint flexibility and body fat composition. Once you know where you're starting from and where you want to go, you can chart your route and measure your progress along the way.

What are the benefits?

Why do you need a trainer? Can't you get results just by going into the fitness center and working out on your own?

Motivation. It takes more than state-of-the-art equipment to reach your fitness goals. You have to exercise regularly and make each exercise session count. A trainer will help you develop the incentive to stick to your exercise plan.

Guidance. A trainer's expertise enables him or her to customize an exercise program, making it specific to your goals. One size does not fit all! Plus, your trainer will teach you correct form, which will maximize efficiency and effectiveness, and minimize the chance of injury. Finally, as your fitness improves, your trainer will fine-tune your program to meet your changing needs and make sure you continue to get results.

Convenience. Don't have the time to exercise? You and your trainer can figure out a schedule that will work for you. Together, you can also brainstorm ways to overcome the other obstacles that stand between you and your goals.
