Putting the personal into personal trainer

10/7/2018

I was chatting with a client last week and it highlighted one of the most significant qualities that a personal trainer needs to be by nature of the role. Personal, we offer a personal service to help you achieve your goals.

I have discovered over the years that many people have had unsuccessful personal training experiences. One of the common themes of not enjoying it came down to the fact they felt like they were not listened to. They would be in an environment they were not particularly comfortable in and they were made to do things that they were not happy to do. Don't get me wrong, a big part of a pt's job is encouraging people out of their comfort zone but it's really important to listen.

Listening
This is probably one of the most important parts of my job. I have my preferred methods and approaches based on my knowledge and experience but I apply this based on an individual client that is in front of me. What works for one person does not necessarily work for another.

Adapting
I can't always carry out the session I may plan for someone, they may turn up with an injury, plans for the next day that would be negatively effected if we were to train that body part or they may still be recovering. I have to adapt. Adaptation is key, being able to work around challenges faced. I would not be doing a good job if I just pushed on with the planned session just because it was planned.

​Experience
Sometimes you have to go away and think of a new approach, every session provides feedback throughout whether explicitly stated or not. Every day my experience grows which means I can provide a more in depth service.

We offer a personal service and that is why we put value in showing you what we are like so that you can make the right choice for you.



​Thanks for reading!

I am really thinking about hiring a personal trainer. I have tried cutting down on carbohydrates but I am still unable to lose weight. They say it's normal for someone in my age. I guess I really need to move more. I have been living a sedentary lifestyle lately and I think that's what is slowly killing me. It affects my mood and sleep patterns. They say you are not supposed to sit in front of your computer for more than two hours. This time I am going to employ a different approach so I don't need to miss out on work. I will give myself 5-15 minute breaks every hour.

Add more "personal" into clients training. Adaptability is the key!
