Is A Personal Trainer Worth Your Time And Money?

Why A Personal Trainer Won't Help You Much At All

Many people ponder and wonder if a personal trainer worth the money and time? We are here to tell you to steer clear of personal trainers. Look its great that they are trying to make a living in the real world but a person wanting to lose weight doesn't need a personal trainer. 

For starters a personal trainer wants money and a lot of it. Some good personal trainers cost between $150 to $250 a month, quite possibly more. The first problem is that personal trainers will first probably make a schedule of what kind of foods you should eat. Lets break this down quickly. You don't need a personal trainer to tell you what foods you need to eat to lose weight. You as a person already know what you should and shouldn't be eating to lose weight. It's just a matter of overcoming your anxiety to eat junk foods and mindset. You don't need a personal trainer to tell you and even then your personal trainer doesn't come home with you so you may fall victim to eating junk foods anyways. 

So if not for changing your mind will a personal trainer help you lose weight? That's all up to you because you are the one who has to make the determination to go to the gym. Once again the personal trainer probably has many clients and they will not take the time to call you to see how you are doing? Like any other profession they are in it for the money most of the times. Now before anyone gets offended there are those few who love to help people as well just because but the majority do it for the money as a profession. Remember the money problem we mentioned above? Well you don't even get your moneys worth because that $150 or $250 a month may only get your 4 to 5 sessions (days) with each session lasting 30 to 40 mins maybe. As a person that goes to the gym you could probably do better by going more often then by working out with a personal trainer. 

Even in your sessions with a personal trainer many will say they are pushed to workout harder. Why do we need someone else to tell use how hard we can workout? If you are willing to lose that weight with serious determination you will find a way to workout harder. If not then it just means you are not that serious about losing the weight. As we have mentioned in previous articles its all about your thinking process and mindset. If you say " I will lose this weight" and believe what you are saying then you can easily do it. You don't need a personal trainer to babysit you to tell you this. 

What needs to be done is what I have written thus far in previous articles. First change your mindset on the way you eat, because that will be the first step to starting to lose weight. Instead of eating a doughnut or cinnamon roll for snacks maybe start eating banannas or apples. Secondly admit you have a problem and that you want to change. Without admitting you have a problem you can't hope to conquer it. Finally take the time and effort to go to the gym and workout on a certain schedule. But make sure to keep your schedule with the gym and not lose sight on the ultimate goal. Finally when you go the gym set yourself a goal. Say that you won't leave until you do 5 miles on the bike, 100 situps, etc. Make a list and force yourself to keep the same routine. With all this you can definitely achieve your goal of losing weight without the need for a personal trainer. A personal trainer is not worth your time or money. You as a "thinking" person can do much better than any personal trainer ever can.
