Believe in Yourself
I would definately agree with the fact that a personal trainer can teach you, inspire you & motivate you. Having a good personal trainer is definately a key to accomplishing what you wish to achieve. Whether the personal trainer is certified, a stranger or a friend, isn't really the issue to the benefits recieved. A great personal trainer will always have your best interest in mind and not their own. What a great personal trainer will be able to do is to take your aspirations and make you honestly believe in yourself.

^^ my thoughts exactly.Originally Posted by johnjcarl
also:
- accountability
- nitty-gritty details & not so common sense/common knowledge.
- being able to say that you have an elite personal trainer to your other stuck-up/pretentious gfs, etc. =P

No matter how experienced you are, just like it is for ANY task, it's always helpful to have a 2nd set of eyes on your program.

Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan both use/used coaches despite being the best in their fields.
I think the second set of eyes keeps you honest. No matter how much you swear you ate well and worked out and did your cardio I'm going to know if you didn't...and call you on it.

A huge benafit is that a good trainer can show you what you should be doing rather than what feels confortable. This way the client can get better results.

Accountability/reliability. That is, when you have just yourself for your workouts, you may decide not to go some days. But if you have an appointment with another person you are more likely to show up and put in. This applies to an unpaid training partner of course, but if you spend money on things you value them.
I leave it to Mike to express it in a snappier more client-friendly way

for me its the second set of eye's and really getting the diet on point. I have been training better than 25 years...the trainer part is a piece of cake.Originally Posted by askthetrainer

Decent article - although you need to edit #7. Encourage you independence doesn't make sense.
You have had three kids? I'm assuming those pics are of you so good job.

I try not to fall on accountability as a benefit. I think it alienates a certain percentage of potential clients--those that are able to stay self-motivated. My platform is simple: "Your program will be professionally designed by an expert with three exercise related degrees. I take care of all the details for you."

its easier for someone to tell you what to do than doing it yourself. especially for a prep.
