Want to know more about personal training at home?
The likelihood is that it hasn’t crossed your mind, or even if it has perhaps you dismissed it as an ‘unnecessary luxury’, only for rockstars and actors. Of course this is a myth, with many regular people today opting to have a Personal Trainer come to them at their house. But why?
The Benefits of Having a Personal Trainer at Your House
It may interest you to know that having a Personal Trainer at your house is in fact often more affordable than working with a Personal Trainer at the gym!
This is because when a Trainer comes to visit you at home they are not affiliated to any gym, therefore the cost of using that gym space does not have to be paid, either by the client in gym membership fees, or by the Trainer themselves who will then pass the cost on to the client.
Having a Personal Trainer come to your house puts you in control and gives you total flexibility. It’s incredibly convenient and works with your schedule. This is excellent, removing a barrier for you if you are very busy and don’t get time to exercise. It’s ideal for people with children who cannot get to the gym due to childcare issues.
When you work with a Personal Trainer at your house you enjoy peace and quiet that you simply wouldn’t get at the gym or leisure centre. Gyms are full of hustle and bustle and they lack privacy. This may be particularly important to you if you lack confidence, are shy or if you are new to exercise. It may also be a far better option for you if you are disabled as gyms are not always set up to be fully accessible.
At the gym you will often have to compete with the local muscle heads to use the equipment you want. When you train at home there is no queuing for equipment, which is a real time waster, or sitting in anyone else’s sweat! Working out at home tends to be a more comfortable experience.
Finally you will receive a level of individualized attention and focus that you might not experience at the gym. The focus is on you and your needs with no distractions.
What Happens In a Typical Session With a Trainer at Your House?
Just like when you work with a Personal Trainer at the gym you will start with a consultation to discuss what you want to get out of your sessions (your goals) followed by an assessment. The Trainer will design an exercise program especially tailored to you to ensure that you successfully reach your goals.
A typical session then will usually be an hour long. You will start with a warmup followed by the main workout, which will usually include some form of cardio exercise and some muscular strengthening or toning (depending on what you are looking to achieve). You will finish with a cool down and stretch.
The sessions are enjoyable and personalized, so the exercise is pitched at just the right level to challenge you while still making it manageable. Sessions are tailored and adapted to suit your specific fitness level.
If there is a particular type or style of exercise you would like to try you can simply ask your Trainer who will be happy to oblige. Some people even opt to do their workout outside, in the area surrounding their home. There are plenty of options for how to exercise, the choice is yours.
So Why Not Just Work Out at Home By Myself?
Great question!
The truth is that as humans we all have good intentions, however, when push comes to shove and daily life kicks in, many of these good intentions fall by the wayside. If you have ever set a New Year’s resolution you know this to be true.
Here is the fact of the matter – If you were going to work out by yourself at home you would already be doing it.
The majority of people simply won’t workout if left to their own devices at home. It’s natural – We lead busy lives and there are a lot of distractions. Having a Personal Trainer come to you at your house will ensure that you workout. You will follow a schedule and your Trainer will hold you accountable.
Having a Personal Trainer at home gives you everything you would get at the gym plus more, in the comfort of your own home.
