When people ask what results they can expect from hiring a personal trainer, it often comes down to their individual goals and how consistent they are in both their exercise and their diet.
Some of my clients want to lose weight, some want to gain muscle, and others want to look better in a Bikini on holiday. Other clients have wanted to look good on their wedding day, and then others simply want to feel fitter, be healthier and have more energy.
The good news is that with consistency, you can hit all of these goals, and to do so, you need to have a clear path along with the right structure, while having someone like me to keep you accountable in the background, and that’s one of the biggest benefits of working with a personal trainer.
Reaching your weight loss goals
Weight loss is one of the most common reasons why my clients in Cardiff have hired me in the past, and this is because many people struggle and rely on workouts and dieting advice that doesn’t work.
Hiring a personal trainer in Cardiff can remove the guesswork and give you a proven step-by-step process to follow, which results in you losing weight.
When you hire me, you get a structured routine that removes the guesswork, and you are working to your current fitness level. You aren’t copying something from social media or what worked for someone else down the road.
Secondly, you get sessions tailored to burning calories while protecting the muscle mass that you have. This typically includes resistance training with conditioning work.
You also get guided on nutrition, and nutrition is something that many of my Cardiff clients have struggled with before working with me. You need to understand your calories and how they affect your body composition, so you are not restricting your lifestyle, so your weight loss goals fit in with your lifestyle, so whether you’re a student getting food from the uni canteens or an office worker grabbing lunch down Cardiff Bay, you can still lose weight.
Building Muscle
On the other hand, you may want to build muscle, and as a personal trainer, I will help you to understand the various stages of muscle growth so you can optimise both your diet and your training routine to get the best out of both.
I will help you to understand progressive overload, using the right form and show you the required effort needed to stimulate muscle growth.
General fitness and health
Not everyone wants to lose weight or gain muscle, you may want to just be healthier. If your goal is to improve your health, then a personal trainer can help you improve your cardiovascular health and mobility through training routines.
Doing so will make daily life feel easier, you will sleep better, and your energy levels will increase.
Being accountable
Being accountable is one of the biggest blockers of progress when it comes to hitting your fitness goals, as it’s easy to slack off when things get hard, but that’s where the real results come, and if you want results when working out, a personal trainer can help you to get them.
It’s easy to skip a workout when no one else is watching, but it’s harder to cancel when someone is waiting for you, tracking your progress.
Having scheduled sessions creates routine and routine creates consistency, from here is where you will reach your fitness goals.
A personal trainer can also give you honest feedback. If you are just going through the motions or if you aren’t putting the effort in, then a personal trainer can push you to do more and to do better.
The balance of both support and challenge is where you can get real results when using a personal trainer.
Results don’t magically appear.
The reality of the situation is that results don’t appear magically; instead, they come from turning up every session and putting in the work. I can provide you with the exercises, the diet plan and even the support, but you then need to take that and apply it to your life. If you do, you will reach those goals.
