So, after gulping your fourth round of pecan pie, you have finally decided that you are going to lose weight. This is good news for everyone, especially your boyfriend who acts like “You- Don’t- Need- To- Do- It-Because- I- Love- You- Just- The- Same”, yet is secretly ecstatic about it.
Now that you are embarking on this adventure, what should you do first? Get a personal trainer. Or go to the gym. Or both. Actually, you can do anything you really want, but if you want to get a personal trainer, here are some things you need to know:
PROS
First, personal trainers are good when it comes to motivation. If you have a trainer you can be sure your going to get the best training session you can in the shortest period of time.
Second, personal trainers can give you knowledgeable information about diet, nutrition and exercise. They will tell you the right stance when you are performing the squats, or how to handle the weights. They will give you valuable information about the right kinds of food to help you lose weight, and can even tell you which brands have fat contents that can really make “the fat lady sing.” They know the proper portions of food you should eat according to your body type and weight requirement, plus they can teach which kind of supplements you can take to increase your muscles or your metabolism.
Third, personal trainers can give you a more customized workout than trainers working at the gym. This is because their main focus is on you – so they will take their own sweet time in trying to understand what makes you and your body function at its best (and worst). Gym trainers often have limited time because they have to cater to a lot of clients all in one sitting.
CONS
However, having a personal trainer on the surface may seem to be a lot more expensive then the gym, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up in quality. Expect to pay $30 a week for a membership to a gym and about $60 a week for a trainer. Which gives YOU the most value depends on the type of person you are.
If you are really motivated, don’t mind waiting for equipment, and fighting for space with a ton of 18-25 yr olds then the gym may be your thing.
If you need a little motivation, like someone to make sure you get the results you want in a private environment then a trainer is probably the better option.
