Why train with a personal trainer by PT Cláudia Dias

Recently, there has been a lot of talk about training with a personal trainer . With the expansion of the fitness market, accompanied training is already well known by people who go to the gym or who are thinking about going.

What is training with a personal trainer?

The main distinguishing characteristics of training with a personal trainer (or PT) are adaptation and planning . In accompanied training, these aspects are properly taken care of by a qualified professional, who is able to monitor everything from athletes to people with clinical conditions. The PT assesses the client's specificities and prescribes training tailored to each individual .

A closer relationship is generated that can take different forms: training can be individualized, in pairs or in a group. Pair or group training can be viable and even beneficial, but only if clients have similar needs and goals.

Who is the accompanied training for?

The goals of someone who starts their training routine with a personal trainer can be quite varied. They range from aesthetics to health , including the loss of fat mass or the increase in muscle mass . There are also those who want to lower cholesterol, control high blood pressure, achieve mental stability or simply improve their physical condition .

Training with a personal trainer is a great choice for those who are starting to exercise and want to lead a more active life. It is also advantageous for people who have tried to practice sports alone several times, but without success . In addition to all this, PT is an excellent ally for those looking to make the most of their time, increase training intensity or focus on certain goals.

There are specific groups in which the security that training with a personal trainer provides takes on greater importance for adequate practice. These groups include the elderly, pregnant women and individuals with medical conditions.

Seriously consider accompanied training if you have hernias, fibromyalgia, cardiovascular disease, diabetes , hypertension, high cholesterol or joint pathologies. The doctor - personal trainer synergy has been cemented, so the decision to train with a PT is increasingly legitimate.

What are the advantages of training with a personal trainer ?

Security

Specific planning is carried out taking into account the client's physical condition and goals, among other factors. The intensity, volume and type of training are taken into account by the personal trainer . These factors are outlined and monitored according to the person in charge of the PT.

Motivation

In personalized training , each session, sequence of exercises, series, repetition and load is designed based on the person and the objectives that drive them to train. Thus, practicing physical exercise becomes much more motivating .

Frequent physical assessments

With this closer monitoring, reassessments become a key instrument, both for the personal trainer and the athlete. Quantifying the results is a way of motivating the person, but it also serves to adjust the training (if necessary) depending on the relationship between the objectives set and achieved.

Technique

The PT is the most qualified professional to get someone to do, for example, squats without bringing their knees together or bending their back too much. Training with a personal trainer prevents injuries and ensures that the correct postures are adopted during exercises.

Time management

Most people have limited time to train. We know that there are days when you really can't go to the gym and others when you have little desire and are very tired. When training with a personal trainer , each session is scheduled based on both partners' availability . Together, they find strategies to manage time so that practice is regular, ensuring results.

Training with a personal trainer constitutes an excellent, effective and safe service, based on theoretical and practical knowledge. It requires empathy between both parties, a very important factor considering that the watchword is continuity .

Training with a personal trainer requires some time availability , but not as much as you might think. Depending on a series of factors, the duration varies: sessions tend to last between 30 and 60 minutes.

The important thing is that you remember that training with a personal trainer should be seen as an investment in your health !
