Personal Trainer VS Group Fitness

If you truly want to get fit - learn how to work out and eat right.  When you commit to losing weight and leading a healthy lifestyle [consistently exercising and making better eating choices], many doors will open to help you stay on track and keep you motivated.

While group fitness offers great work-outs, you will have better success in the long run if you invest in a personal trainer.  Personal trainers typically offer a wide variety of services that tailor to each client’s individual needs.  Group fitness is not going to make sure you have good form or teach you the proper way to lift weights.

Personal trainers offer a support system, they are educators, teachers, and offer a consistent stream of motivation to keep you amped and help you achieve your goals.  They are there to listen, to hold you accountable, and develop a relationship with you.  Personal training is in fact personal.

Why not group fitness?  Because each person moves differently, has different strengths and weaknesses and goals, your plan should be designed specifically for you.  You wouldn’t hop on a bus going to New York if you wanted to go to California.  Same goes for exercise programs!  Group fitness, on the other hand, is designed for the masses.

Each session provides a pre-determined workout for a group of people with mixed levels of fitness.   Your needs are never the focus of the class with variations given to everyone making it easier or harder.  The benefit you get from the workout is solely based on the amount of effort you put into it and how accountable you hold yourself.  It becomes easy to skip and easy to get lost in the crowd.

Building a solid healthy lifestyle foundation begins with a personal trainer.  The motivation, accountability, and knowledge you gain will keep you on track and help you succeed far greater than group fitness.  Be an individual and don’t get lost in the crowd!
