Why Use a Personal Trainer

Working with a personal trainer helps ensure greater safety, efficiency, and appropriate level of intensity. Studies show that people will work with a higher, more appropriate level of resistance with a trainer than without, and this brings greater strength and muscle gains. Studies also show a far greater commitment level and adherence to programs.

A trainer gives you access to greater experience and expertise, provides motivation, support, and an objective eye. This is not only essential for beginners, but even high level athletes, performers, and even trainers use trainers and coaches.

Magazines, newspapers and the internet are a great resource for many, but a trainer provides programming specific to you and your goals, which may change as you do.
