There are all kinds of reasons why people will hire a personal trainer - for some it’s accountability. For others it’s a way of outsourcing motivation. There are personal training clients who need to be pushed further than they’re willing to push themselves.
They’re all great reasons to hire a personal trainer, but today we’re going to focus on one of the more forgotten about reasons - having someone mix up your training so you avoid stagnation of the exercise.
Mixing your training is one of the most effective ways to stay motivated. It also helps to keep your fitness progression ongoing and helps to make exercise boredom obsolete. Knowing that every time you go to the personal training studio for your session, you’ll be going through an entirely new challenge is a huge motivator in itself! There’s a new stimulus with every workout and that’s a massive motivator.
In his ‘fitness in 100 words’ post, Greg Glassman (founder of CrossFit) wrote about mixing up the elements of fitness in as many ways as your creativity will allow. In part, that is one of the primary roles of the personal trainer - whilst keeping the ultimate goal in mind (be it weight loss, muscle gain etc), build creative and enjoyable workouts that will help clients stay motivated to exercise for the long term.
Therein lies another benefit of training in a private personal training studio - full access to equipment and space. If you use a commercial gym, it’s really hard to ensure that your workout is done as cleanly as possible. because you might have to wait for equipment, which disrupts your flow.
If you train at home you’re limited to a small amount of equipment (unless of course you’re very lucky!), which stifles the amount of creativity you can put into your workouts. At the AdMac Fitness personal training studio in Bow, East London we have a wide variety of equipment, meaning we can offer hugely varied workouts. If a training session is limited by the equipment available, you’ve got no need to worry - we’re very well equipped!
By mixing up barbell work, kettlebell exercises, dumbbell training, bodyweight exercises, cardio, battle ropes and a range of other bits of kit, your training will never stagnate. It’s part of the reason our personal training clients at AdMac Fitness stay for so long. They come to get fit and they stay for how our methods make them feel for the long term.
One of the other ways AdMac Fitness can help you avoid stagnation in your training is by offering you a chance to join our group exercise sessions at the studio. It means you still get the workout variety, the challenging session and the expert guidance by one of our highly qualified personal trainers, but you can do so in a different format and at a lower price point.
We know how difficult it can be to motivate yourself to exercise. We also know the overwhelming feeling that comes with programming your own workouts, so why not leave it to the professionals? The AdMac Fitness personal trainers inEast London are experts at programming varied, interesting and challenging workouts, designed to help our clients achieve the kind of results they could only dream of before!
