Are personal trainers worth it?

If you have never used one, you may ask the question. And if you work with a good trainer, you know the answer. So the studies from Ball Sate university just comfirmed what we know. They studied 2 groups, same program, one group exercised by themselves and the group two participants were followed by a personal trainer. And the results show that group 2 had more improvements after a 12-week strength training program. The results were due to proper execution and motivation. Also, the trainers encouraged the clients to progress in terms of weight used. I know that one by experience, most clients underestimate themselves and use weights that are too low. They tend to stick with the same weight too long.

One other benefit that I have observed. Having an apointment will decrease absenteeism. Without an appiontment, my clients can always find something else to fit in. And exercise time suffers. But when they have a schedule appiontment with me, they have to think twice before cancelling.
