From helping you reach your fitness goals to learning how to exercise safely with a chronic condition, personal training comes with plenty benefits and could be a great investment for your well-being and overall health. Let’s dive into some of the main concepts on why you should consider working with a personal trainer in Chicago.

Motivation

Motivation is one of many important factors that determines your perspective on working out and helps keep you inspired to start or continue your fitness journey. Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the energy and encouragement specific to you! That extra push from your trainer can help break through some mental barriers. It is that little bit of extra energy we all need sometimes. A trainer can also work with you to set goals, create a clear path to accomplish them, and celebrate BIG the day you reach them.

Consistency & Accountability

Do you struggle to stick with a program or keep a habit going? Consistency is key. That’s where we as personal trainers hold you accountable. We are by your side to help you overcome all the excuses you may use to avoid your commitment to exercise. It is about breaking through the mental barriers to get over to the side where your well-being and overall health are better – a clearer and healthier you.

Build Confidence in What You Do

We all want clarity and fitness can be confusing. At one point in everyone’s fitness journey, personal trainers included, struggles present themselves. There is a tremendous amount of information out there. Try this, not that. Eat this, not that. Strength training before or after cardio? A trainer can help you sift through the fitness information and eliminate the guesswork. As you become more knowledgeable in the fitness world and work with a trainer on how to use machines, perform exercises, and navigate the facility, you build confidence. That confidence or ego boost via exercise will help you adhere to your exercise program and, in return, promote stronger self-efficacy!

Experts in Kinesiology

Our personal trainers are experts in kinesiology and understand everyone is different when it comes to fitness. This allows us to provide you with individual attention. Your biomechanics, your experiences, goals, likes and dislikes are all unique. Your individuality is a guide we use to create a personalized exercise program specific to your needs. At LSF, all personal trainers start you off with a complete evaluation including using our In-Body machine to understand your body’s makeup, a functional movement screening, and goal setting. When the regimen is personalized, it helps prevent injury, promote better body mechanics, and exercise performance. Therefore, you are more likely to maintain the habit and see results when a program is tailored for you.

Enjoy Your Workouts

Last but not least, exercise is enjoyable and fun! We want to make sure exercise is enjoyable and effective for all our clients. Whether it is 1-on-1, in a group, or with a buddy, a savvy trainer can find many ways to increase enjoyment. You can make your individual session about crushing your goals, becoming a better you, or grab a buddy to be a little more social.
