Hi! This is Chill. I read an article recently in the Wall Street Journal titled: "Gung-Ho at the Gym, Then Boredom Sets In."
The article covers the age old problem of gym memberships. First, you realize you need to get into shape. Secondly, you take a small step to remedy the situation by joining a gym. Then, as you walk the treadmill, you look around and see people who seem to know what they are doing...getting or staying in shape. All the while, you become bored and eventually cancel your membership. Gyms actually count on people to pay a membership and never show up.
The article points out that one of the gyms found that signing up their members with a personal trainer meant that the members kept their memberships twice as long as those who didn't have a personal trainer.
Why does a personal trainer make a difference? A personal trainer develops a keen understanding of your goals and how to reach them, and, accountability is certainly a part of the benefits of working with a personal trainer.
Going to a gym to reach your fitness goals is like trying to learn how to fly aircraft by traveling on an commercial airplane. You can still fly, but you are not flying the plane. Until you have a flight instructor, you will never take the first step toward your goal of flying a plane.
The same holds true with fitness, an instructor, (personal trainer), can help you reach your fitness goals. In addition, when you train with me, you get access to a well appointed, private fitness studio with a clientele that is as serious as you are about your fitness goals.
Give me a call today!
