A REAL DISCUSSION: YOUR GYM MEMBERSHIP VS PERSONAL TRAINING

People sometimes say to me, "Trainer Scott, why would I train with you for $200 a month when I can pay $50 a month at my gym?" And here's my answer, "sure you're only paying $50 a month at your gym, but let me hit you back with some questions";

"How often do you use said membership?"

"When you don't have someone to hold you accountable, do you actually show up?"

"When you go to the gym, are you really pushing yourself to a new level and achieving your goals?"

Personal Training doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to be seeing me 2 or 3 times a week, you could see me once a week or once every couple of weeks just to make sure you are staying on track.

How many times have you missed your workout one week, then it turns into a month, then oh my gosh it's been 6 months. Seeing a personal trainer at least once a week or so will help make sure this doesn't happen. You may also learn new things to do at the gym on your own. You will also have a mental gauge of how hard your workouts should be and how hard you can really push yourself. I have seen people in the gym, it's a couple of curls here, water fountain, couple of leg presses here, bathroom.....get the drift? Don't get all offended, motivators, I know some of you push it to the limit...one more tiiiime. But for those of you who felt their ears burning while reading that, yeah I'm talking to you.

Sometimes you just can't find the motivation to make it to the gym, that's where I come in. So think about it, when you're saving all that money by just having your cheaper membership and not going, which one has more value? When you pay for a personal trainer, you know you're getting the most out of every minute in the gym, you know you're going to actually show up, and you're going to get some serious results. Plus, your work outs will benefit for the rest of your life, with a personal trainer or working out by yourself. You'll know how to use certain equipment, how to use proper form, and you'll probably save yourself an injury or two!!!!!

So that's my two cents, so now go hit the gym or call a personal trainer.....and good luck!!!!
