At AdMac Fitness you’d expect us to tell you how great working with a personal trainer is - after all, we’re a private personal training studio in East London!

But what if we backed up this claim with data, so instead of just taking our word for it, you saw the research? Well that’s what we’re here to do today. We want to show you the scientific evidence behind the rationale, so you can see how much more effective your training programme is when it is delivered with a personal trainer…

Are you looking to smash your fitness goals, but feeling a bit lost in the gym? Perhaps you've tried different workout routines, but haven't seen the results you're after? If this sounds familiar, then training with a personal trainer could be the game-changer you need.

Let's face it, the fitness world can be overwhelming. There's a constant stream of new trends, exercises, and dietary advice, making it difficult to know where to start. A personal trainer cuts through the noise and provides you with a tailored plan, expert guidance, and the motivation to succeed. They're not just there to count your reps; they're your fitness mentor, your accountability partner, and your biggest cheerleader.

The Science Says It All

The benefits of working with a personal trainer aren't just anecdotal. Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive impact a trainer can have on your fitness journey.

For instance, a study from 2024 highlights the effectiveness of personalised exercise programs designed by qualified professionals. The study emphasises that a trainer's expertise in exercise science and biomechanics ensures you're performing exercises correctly and safely, maximising results while minimising the risk of injury.

The study concluded…

‘The key point was that only the PT group showed an improvement in fat mass; neither the EP nor IT groups showed a significant reduction in fat mass. During the 12-week training period, it was found that if participants wanted to achieve fitness goals in terms of body plasticity as soon as possible, PTs provided effective services, contributing to comprehensive fitness-related improvements.’

Furthermore, research published in the journal MOJOR compared the effects of supervised versus unsupervised training. The results clearly showed that individuals who trained under the guidance of a personal trainer experienced significant improvements in physical activity, muscular endurance, and cardiovascular parameters, compared to those who trained alone. This underscores the importance of expert supervision in achieving optimal fitness outcomes.

The researchers here concluded…

‘This study suggests that supervised exercise programs for previously sedentary individuals are effective in improving overall fitness. While a period of unsupervised exercise may result in less physical activity and decrease in muscular endurance and cardiovascular health.’

Beyond the Numbers: The Real-World Benefits

While the scientific evidence is compelling, the real-world benefits of having a personal trainer extend far beyond the numbers:

  • Personalised Plans: Forget generic workout routines. A trainer will assess your current fitness level, understand your goals (whether it's weight loss, muscle gain, improved endurance, or simply feeling healthier), and create a bespoke training plan that's perfect for you.

  • Proper Technique: Correct form is crucial to avoid injuries and get the most out of each exercise. A trainer will teach you the proper technique, ensuring you're working the right muscles and staying safe.

  • Motivation and Accountability: Let's be honest, it's easy to skip a workout when you're on your own. A trainer provides the motivation and accountability you need to stay on track, pushing you to achieve your best.

  • Variety and Progression: Trainers keep your workouts fresh and engaging, introducing new exercises and gradually increasing the intensity as you get fitter. This prevents plateaus and keeps you motivated.

  • Nutritional Guidance: Many trainers offer nutritional advice to complement your workouts, helping you make healthy food choices that support your fitness goals.

  • Time Efficiency: A trainer will design efficient workouts that maximise your time in the gym, ensuring you're getting the most bang for your buck.

  • Confidence Boost: As you see progress and achieve your goals, your confidence will soar. A trainer helps you build a positive relationship with your body and your fitness.
