Personal trainers have evolved.
In the 90’s when personal trainers first started to become popular they were mostly glorified cheerleaders. Someone to count your reps, cheer you on, and hold you accountable.
All three of those things(okay two. count your own reps) are still vital parts of a good personal trainer.
But it isn’t enough in 2018.
Personal trainers in 2018 are motivators, strength coaches, technique teachers, exercise educators, friends, and therapists.
Their job is to keep you injury free, motivated, and seeing results.

They will always have entertaining conversation & education to keep you engaged.
If you get bored going to the gym you seriously need to consider hiring a personal trainer.
It’s easy to make excuses to put the gym off another day. The gym will always be there.
But this is the hallmark of someone who is about to fall off the wagon.
Every year people make New Year’s Resolutions to get in shape, lose weight, and build muscle, but each week their commitment wains.
This is the reason gyms can charge membership fees as low as $10 a month–they count on you not going.
But when you hire a personal trainer you now have two reasons to keep going.
Personal trainers aren’t $10 a month, but they are annoying when you start to make excuses.
