Fitness Tip #11: Hire a Trainer


Start the new year off with a well designed program, solid commitment and goal for a more fit YOU. Funny thing about human motivation, when financial investment and accountability to another person come into play we find ourselves more committed and successful in the end.

I have hired a trainer in the past to prepare for two of my Figure competitions. I knew I had a lot to learn about the whole process and wanted someone to guide me. It was the best money ever spent! It was my first experience with a hired personal trainer. I have nothing but positive things to say from it. I was 100% committed. I believe this was partly due to the fact that I wanted it bad enough and I didn't want to let her down or anyone else for that matter. When times were tough, I relied on her to hear me out and get me through it.

It is very common for fitness professionals, trainers, physique competitors, coaches and of course athletes to hire personal trainers. Why does the general public, the average gym goer feel they know enough about program design to never consider hiring a trainer for themselves? Yet well known fitness professionals frequently have another professional write them a training program?

Find a good trainer, hire them and then achieve things you never felt possible. It is money well spent.
