Are You Ready to Work a Personal Trainer?

It might seem like working with a trainer is just paying money and showing up — but to truly get the most out of our sessions, there’s more to it.

In short,

You Might Not be Ready to Work with a Trainer if...

You struggle with being corrected or find it hard to take corrective feedback
You only want to do things your own way
You aren’t willing to make changes to your current lifestyle
You're not willing to try new things
You have unrealistic expectations
You give up easily, even with support
You aren’t ready to invest the time and energy needed to see results

Note: These reflections aren’t meant to judge — they’re here to help you consider the commitments and mindset that you need to get the best out of your training.
