Meta Description: Not sure if you should invest in a personal trainer or do things yourself?
It’s not a secret that the fitness industry is booming. People want to get fit and look after their health, which means they demand more and more coaches who are able to help them to do everything themselves. It makes sense to hire a personal trainer if you want to get fit. If you are already fit you will be fine, but if you want to do everything on your own you should have enough time.
It’s a strange dilemma, so let’s explore the pros and cons of each!
Pros & cons of a personal trainer
One advantage to working with a personal trainer is that they are very knowledgeable about all things fitness. A personal trainer can help you to do a number of exercises safely, thereby limiting the risk of injury. You will get more from the exercise by performing them safely.
There are other ways that a personal trainer can help you become fit. Personal training that is meant to help people learn to sit upright while doing exercises, are designed to help them do a number of posture tasks. This can help you with posture problems and chronic pain. Having a good posture helps you avoid future problems and minimize your suffering from back pain.
Having a coach who trains you will give you more motivation and help you to achieve goals. It’s easy to feel a compulsion to work out when someone has written a training plan for you.
Cost is one of the biggest downsides to having someone personal train you. Future Fitness understands that hiring a personal trainer is an investment. So they created an offer for a FREE 7-day trial so you can see if their program is right for you.
Pros & cons of doing things yourself
On the other hand, an advantage of training yourself is that it allows you to plan things easier and more freely, so that you can work out your ideas whenever you want.
You have lots of free exercise videos you can download for free from Youtube (and even make your own).
But that’s really about where the advantages of doing things yourself end. The biggest downside to doing things ourselves is that you depend entirely on your own abilities to know things and to be motivated. It is easier to fall into bad habits if you don’t have someone to hold you responsible. It’s also important to think about how you’re going to keep yourself safe while you work out. Some people go to the gym or start doing exercises on their own and end up hurting people because they don’t know how to properly form their bodies. Some people watch videos that help them, but it’s not always easy to watch something in a video and do it exactly the same way. You don’t get any information from the person who demonstrates it on the video whether you’re doing it wrong or not.
Working out with a coach or a fitness instructor offers a lot of advantages. If there is a specific goal you are trying to reach or you are a beginner, it is worth having a few sessions with a personal trainer. Unlike some other fitness companies, we offer both in-home and in-club training options, so that you can workout in the comfort of your home or at a fitness club!
