What has always drawn me to personal training is the enjoyment I get from watching people achieve more than they ever thought possible. This often comes down to being unsure of how to proceed or build exercise and healthy eating into their lifestyles. Building close relationships with the client and understanding what motivates and drives them is essential in guiding them through the journey towards achieving their goals. More often than not these goals will grow and continuously looking forward with the client is a great way to keep their training progressing. No matter how big or small the goal may be, watching the sense of achievement in my clients is such a great feeling. Those achievements are something that no one else can take away from you!
The reality is that personal training is so much more than just being someone who encourages challenging workouts. I will constantly check in with my client to ensure that they feel happy with how the training is going, asking questions and keep it interesting with different exercises adjusted to each individual. I really believe that exercise and a nutritious diet are vital to a healthy mind and coping with everyday stresses.
I often work with new mums and their babies which is a real privilege because this is a point in a woman’s life that can seem very overwhelming and fitting in fitness can be a challenge. However it is also a great time to ensure you are fit and healthy because keeping up with the little ones is full on! It’s a chance to set the tone for the whole family and leading by example is the best way for children to learn that eating well and being active is really important in the modern world.
My advice to clients is always, it’s much easier to do something you enjoy so find the type of exercise or sport that drives you and go with it! You never know where it might lead you and whether you enjoy solo training or group training there’s something out there for you.
So go on, lace up those shoes and step out the door, things will get easier once you take that first step!
