7 Fit Benefits of a Personal Training Studio

Working out by yourself may mean a lot of guesswork.

Have you been working out consistently at the gym or home for several months and not seeing results? Are you struggling to shed those extra pounds?

If you’re feeling frustrated because you just can’t seem to get that better body or feel healthier overall, that’s where the services of a personal trainer genuinely shine.

Here are some personal training benefits that will help you along your fitness journey:

Develop a focused fitness program to achieve a better body
Help you set smart fitness goals and measures your progress
Hold you accountable towards reaching those goals
Provide you with nutrition coaching to optimize your workouts
Help you do modified workouts if you have an injury or condition
Create and develop lifelong changes for better health
Keep you motivated to keep coming back

Personal training studios are boutique gyms that specialize in individualized training. Unlike a franchise gym where you may work out with one trainer, a smaller studio offers an entire community of different trainers, nutritionists, and workout specialists who are all focused on making sure you get the best results possible.

If you’ve been mulling over a membership at a personal training studio, here are seven good reasons why it’s the right move to help you achieve your goals in fitness.

1. Tailored Plans That Match Your Fitness Goals

What are your short term and long term fitness goals? Do you want to be healthier and feel better overall? Be able to run a marathon? Perform better at sports? The optimal approach to weight loss, strength training, athletic training and bodybuilding are all majorly different, so it helps to have a fitness expert on your side.

Your trainer will take into consideration the following when developing your exercise program:

How many days a week / which muscles groups need work
How weight/resistance/time you should be aiming for as you progress
Your optimal amount of sets, reps and rest
The ratio of cardio to strength training
High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT)
And more!

Working with a trainer at a fully equipped studio ensures your workout plan translates to real-world gains in rapid time.

2. Get Matched With a Trainer Who Will Be A Great Fit

Take the guesswork out of hiring personal trainers - studios like ours employ certified personal trainers from different backgrounds and hold various accreditations.

Some trainers may be focused more on bodybuilding in their fitness, while others may be more athletics-focused. While any good trainer can adapt to any client’s needs, finding a personal trainer whose goals are similar to yours can help.

For example, here are just a few of the achievements and credentials held by members of our training staff:

Fat loss & hypertrophy
Functional training and movement patterns
Tabata hybrid fat-burning circuits
Olympic weight lifting technician
Muay Thai combat specialist.
MMA fighting
Strength & Conditioning Specialist
Kickboxing at Ultimate Martial Arts
World Hip Hop Dance Champions

Every personal trainer’s personality is entirely different, so it’s worth taking the time to find a trainer that you’ll mesh with the best when you first start. You’ll need to enjoy the company and coaching style of that trainer, so it will be easy for you to overcome any low workout motivation you’re experiencing that day.

Do you like to be shouted at like you’re at a boot camp? Or are you more the silent encouragement type? Maybe you prefer some cheery optimism to help you power through those gruelling final reps. We have a trainer that’s perfect, no matter your personality.

3. Nutrition Planning

Healthy eating isn’t enough to achieve your fitness goals. Without the correct diet, you won’t have the calorie surplus you need to build muscle or the calorie deficit necessary to lose weight.

We employ nutritionists who will develop a meal plan for you, tailoring it to your fitness goals, your current level of fitness, and your body type. Following this plan ensures you’re optimizing the fuel you put in your body so that you can achieve noticeable results faster.

We base these custom meal plans on your body’s individual need for macros (macronutrients). Instead of looking at food in calories, learning macro nutrition forces us to look at food as fuel. Counting macros means keeping track of what proteins, carbs, and fats you’re eating and in what ratio.

Following these plans means you’re getting the right fuel in your body at the correct times.

4. Fun and Varied Workouts

One major complaint about fitness for many is that their workouts get monotonous and boring. A good personal trainer will ensure that you’re never bored when performing exercises!

Your trainer will work with you to establish your comfort level in exercise and inspire you to push beyond it. Each personal training session allows you to learn new ways to exercise and build upon previous activities with new variations. The workout plan they develop for you to do in between sessions will be varied enough to keep you stimulated.

They’ll also be sure to incorporate the types of exercises you like, indoors or outdoors, so you’re more likely to stick with the program.

5. Workout Motivation

Do you relate to any of these common reasons for skipping the gym?

Not experiencing the results you want despite exerting yourself at the gym
Feeling intimidated by working out around others
Unmotivated or panicked by a busy gym
Working out is stressful or tedious!

Exercise is a commitment, and that’s where a personal training gym comes in handy.

Unlike a colossal gym chain, a personal training studio is a much less intimidating and hectic environment, with a much more encouraging community.

The payoff of all your hard work is a healthier you. But that change doesn’t happen overnight.

A personal trainer will work with you to set measurable and realistic goals so you can watch as those small successes add up. Using your fitness levels from when you start the program as a baseline, monthly fitness and body assessment check-ins quantify your success.

Improved active and resting heart rate, muscle growth, amount of body fat, or the size of your waistline are all signs that the program is working.

6. Modified workouts for chronic injury or conditions

Navigating fitness with an injury or chronic condition without proper guidance is tricky, as specific exercises may make your situation worse or result in further damage. Thankfully, our certified personal trainers will create modified training sessions that allow you to still work towards your goals without making any injuries or conditions worse in the process.

7. Fostering Lasting Health and Lifestyle Changes

Last but not least, a personal training studio and its trainers pride themselves not just on helping whip you into shape but providing you with the tools you need to stay there. The holistic mind and body approach tackles both your confidence and motivation, along with a genuine desire to eat healthier and keep up your fitness routine.

Once you go down the path to a healthier you at a personal training studio, there’s no going back!
