Do​ you find it difficult to stick to your program? Scheduling regular appointments w/ a personal trainer helps eliminate any excuses you may come up w/ for not exercising

An exercise program that works for one person may not work for another. A personal trainer will develop the most effective program for you based on your fitness evaluation results & personal goals

Need someone to spot you while you do pull-ups? Looking for feedback on your running form? That’s what your personal trainer is for: to observe, assist and, if necessary, correct as needed

An experienced personal trainer can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future injuries

It’s a fact–feeling good makes you look good, & vice versa. Not only can personal trainers help you achieve your health & fitness goals, they provide you w/ positive feedback on your performance & bolster your confidence to take on new challenges

Gymnasts or rock climbers need strength, but not at the expense of an increased body-weight: it makes their sport harder. Relative strength is building maximal strength while controlling calorie intake and/or adding cardio so you don’t increase your body-weight

2-3​ generations ago, physical jobs kept you in shape. Nowadays sedentary lifestyles are common: desk jobs, watching tv, driving car all day. Here’s what strength training can do for you

Strength training burn calories, keeps your metabolic rate high under strict dieting & tends to make you stick to your diet better

Strength training teaches you persistence, sacrifice, self-control, responsibility & builds self-confidence. You’ll get out of strength training what you put into it

Exercising​ stresses your body. Your body doesn’t like stress & adapts by getting stronger & building muscle

Eventually you’ll stall. You can’t increase the resistance forever. Decrease the resistance for a while, then increase it again bursting through your plateau

Power is the ability to acclerate: going from a dead stop to fast. The quicker you can achieve top speeds, the stronger you’ll be. Olympic lifts likePower Cleans build power

Barbells are the easiest method to build strength. Start light, focus on technique & add weight systematically. The more weight on the bar, the stronger you get. Example of weight lifting exercises are theSquat, Bench Press, Overhead Press, Barbell Row & Deadlift

Machines​ balance the weight for you. This makes them easier & less effective than free weights or body-weight exercises. Machines also force your body into a fixed movement pattern. Position yourself wrong using a lot of weight & you risk injuries
