THE TIME IS NOW FOR A PERSONAL TRAINER

The difference between a flimsy New Year’s resolution and a new way of feeling about your life and its possibilities is in your pocket or purse at this very moment.

Using the infinite possibilities of now to take out your mobile device, to reach out and consider the services of a top Atlanta personal trainer – this is one certain way to assure that your resolution becomes a set of real goals and a personalized plan of action.

Data shows consistently that an intention announced is a commitment made. When you get out of your own head with that thought and begin the conversation that puts it in action, you have put some stakes on the table and invited some powerful forces to take your side. You are far more likely to follow through. And this is barely the beginning of the benefits you can see from securing the services of an Atlanta personal trainer.

Yes is the Answer

Fitness begins in the mind, and one of the first signposts that you are on the path of progress is when you discover that you have the power to choose a better answer than the doubtful idea that might at first pop up when you consider a personal trainer. Knowing that you are not the only one, and that this doubt is as common as it is unsubstantial, makes it easier to choose a better answer. Consider this: we are all beginning, always.

The beginning of a fresh year is a useful signal, and yet renewal is not something we have to wait for or consider a special occasion. In fact, one of the miracles to respect about our bodies is that they are ever-changing. Our body’s capacity to restore and reinforce itself carries on throughout life, although the pace and direction it takes do change. A personal trainer can be your guide to the periodic reassessments that life and growth in Atlanta call for. In this respect, life itself is a good reason to have a personal trainer, because new beginnings take place all along the path, sometimes when we are not expecting them.

Your Path is Your Own

Setting out to develop a fitness routine that’s right for you and takes advantage of the rich fitness resources Atlanta has to offer – this may be the most obvious time to consult a personal trainer. Even if life experience has included sports and fitness, there is no guarantee that the training you picked up along the way has anything to do with your own body or your own goals. This is where we shine. Taking time to assess a person’s unique characteristics and to help them see more specifically their goal, their aiming point, this is our practice and our passion. We bring ongoing formal education and a lot of experience to the table for this conversation, and it is a talk that you won’t want to miss.

Another occasion when fitness-minded people in Atlanta seek a personal trainer is when the results they are seeing level off. Reassessing the match between assets and goals is a process that should be renewed regularly, and this is the key to avoiding plateaus, or the common occurrence of diminishing returns on the same amount of effort. Both mentally and physically, a planned degree of variation is called for, if our climb to our goals is to continue. Simply changing the angle or technique for executing certain exercises is enough to “surprise” a muscle group into progressing further.

A continual benefit of engaging a personal trainer that people play back to us here in our Atlanta gym is that we all need urging occasionally to reach farther than we have grasped before. One of the hazards of successful training is self-satisfaction, and a personal trainer can be just the kind of company you need to keep, to enable you to continue striving and achieving.

Personal but Not Solitary

A trainer can help you get in shape, lose weight, prepare for an upcoming event (which includes everything from competing in a Tough Mudder to walking down the aisle), show you how to get started, or make your existing workout routine more effective.

Hiring a personal trainer is a big decision, but it can be well worth your time, even if you are only able to work with one on a short-term basis. A personal trainer can help tailor a custom plan just for you and provide invaluable support and accountability in your fitness journey. No matter if you’re just starting out, took a break from working out and want to get back into it, or are working out regularly but not getting the results your aiming for, a trainer is the perfect person to make sure you are doing exercises correctly and making the most of your time at the gym.

Ultimately it is you who does the work that produces results. Because nobody can exercise for you, training, fitness, and well-being might seem like a solitary task. And yet, for a whole lot of reasons, even the world’s most accomplished athletes almost invariably employ a coach or counsellor. Even championship teams have long put strength coaches and training specialists on staff because the coaches who focus on skills and teamwork see a need for someone else who knows just that much about building individual strength, flexibility, and endurance.

If the teams and athletes and movie stars that get and keep the world’s attention with their accomplishments call on personal trainers to help them fulfill their potential, then maybe that is a resource that could help you, too.

Still Need Help?

Certainly, there’s no shortage of fitness guides and tips on the Internet and social media. There are scores of magazines devoted to the topic, from Men’s Health to Oxygen to Muscular Development. While all this information is great, it can be more overwhelming than helpful. Figuring out which workout plans to follow, what actually works for your goals, what kind of exercise equipment you need, how to use that equipment safely and effectively, and whether you can even stick to the workout plan is a daunting task.

Which is why we developed this ebook, “10 Reasons Why You Need a Personal Trainer.” In just 15 minutes, Eclipse trainer Alex Carson cuts through all the clutter to provide you with his insights on the topic. Who knows? One of his secrets might hit home for you. Best of all, it’s free for the taking, and just might help you discover the link between the fitness you have now and the fitness you want to enjoy and give yourself the encouragement it takes to stick with it for the long haul.

At Eclipse 1-on-1, we are as invested in your success as you are. Let’s get together and talk about what an individualized program and an Atlanta personal trainer might mean for you.
