What is the value in hiring a Personal Trainer?

 

1. Commitment - Not only do you get a rock-solid commitment from Barefoot Fitness Personal Training, but just as important is the commitment that you make to YOURSELF. If you pay hard-earned money for something, your likelihood of making good use of that purchase increases dramatically. Don't wait another day to make a commitment to yourself and your future!

2. A full fitness consultation and exercise program - In order to know how to get where you are going, you have to have a realistic idea of where you are right now, as well as a detailed set of goals that you want to achieve from your personal training sessions. During your "FREE" fitness consultation with your personal trainer as well continually during your training, your personal trainer will evaluate your status, and set up and maintain your workout program for you. All you have to do is be willing to show-up and work hard!

3. The training itself - There are so many facets to health and fitness training, that it's hard to even put together a brief list of the highpoints. Look at the Fitness/Nutrition section of any bookstore or library and see how many books you find on nutrition, exercise, and health in general. The job of your Barefoot Fitness personal trainer is teach you everything you need to know about nutrition, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, while at the same time explaining away the bogus myths about miracle weight loss and exercise programs.

4. The equipment - If you choose to have your personal trainer come to your home, you are encouraged to get your own fitness equipment to keep at home. If you do not want to spend the money, or don't have room for it at home, a BarefootFitness personal trainer will bring everything to you that you will need during the exercise sessions. This is especially helpful for people in the beginning who don't want to buy fitness equipment until they are able to see the benefit of it first hand.  The other option which most people choose is to have the trainer work with them at a local health club that has all the needed equipment to achieve their fitness goals.  Please note "STRENTGH TRAINING" that requires large amounts of weights will require that clients train with their personal trianer at a local gym.

5. Full-time access to your personal trainer - As you start to get involved in a more healthy lifestyle, you will come up with questions along the way, or need professional advice on various situations. As a professional in the industry, your personal trainer either has all of the answers that you could possibly need, or knows where to find them. You will have an email address and a telephone number to reach your personal trainer as often as you need to so that you can stay on track with your fitness and personal goals.

6. Encouragement/Guidance/Motivation - Let's face it, if you had the motivation and/or knowledge to work out on your own, you would be doing it already, and wouldn't be reading this website right now. People need help, and there is no shame in seeking a competent professional when that time comes. When your car is broken, you take it to a garage to get fixed. When you are sick, you go see the doctor. When you want to make positive health and fitness changes in your lifestyle that will literally last you forever, you see a fitness professional! It's that professional's job to make sure you receive timely encouragement, instruction, and motivation to keep you on track.

7. And finally, you get a one-on-one confidant- to journey with you from where you are now, to where you want to be. A personal trainer should get to KNOW YOU - that's the "personal" part of the job description. How can a trainer help you attain your goals if he/she doesn't know about the motivating and de-motivating factors in your life? How can sessions be fun and exciting if your trainer doesn't stay in tune with your personality, or if they have no clue about you as a person? You are considering hiring a professional to walk with you on a journey that might last awhile, depending on your goals and your needs. Take advantage of having a skilled and PERSONAL companion on the way!

Often asked questions:

1. Can I train with another person?

 

Ans:  If you and your spouse/significant other or friend would like to have a personal trainer work with both of you at the same time Barefoot Fitness offers an incredible discount for each of you as long as you continue to train together. 

2. What if I just want to talk to a Personal Trainer about getting started, but don't know if I actually need to purchase a package of personal training sessions?**

Ans:  As many people aren't sure in the beginning about the many details that are involved in changing to a healthier lifestyle, Barefoot Fitness offers a "FREE" consultation service to help you get started. This is a great opportunity for a person or group of people to spend some time with a personal trainer to talk about and learn the basics of exercise, nutrition, and other aspects of the fitness lifestyle before deciding whether or not to purchase a package of personal training sessions.  This "FREE" consultation is not a high pressure sales job, but just an opportunity to meet your personal trainer, and decide if hiring a personal trainer is right for you.  Having a "FREE" fitness consultation allows you to make an informed decision about how to proceed with your health and fitness goals.

 

3. Why Should I utilize Barefoot Fitness Personal Training?

 

Ans:  This is a very reasonable question to ask, and there are many ways that Barefoot Fitness Personal Training far outweighs the service that you will get by just going to a health club on your own. In addition to the items listed above, the following services further show the value of working with a personal trainer who doesn't work for a gym:

  • Unlimited Correspondence - When you train with a Barefoot Fitness Personal Trainer, you are both welcome and encouraged to contact our your trainer as many times as needed to keep you on track with your fitness goals. Try getting that type of time and attention from most gym trainers, and you will quickly see the value in working with a person that cares about YOUR needs.

 

  • Nutritional Counseling - There are as many facets to a nutrition program as there are training principles that you should stick to during your goal attainment. You need a trainer who is both knowledgeable about your nutritional needs, as well as available to work with you throughout your training program to keep you on track.

 

  • Group Personal Training Discount - You may or may not be able to engage in Group Personal Training in most gyms. However, even if you are able to do so, you will NOT get a discount for it.The Partner Program Personal Training gives you a  DISCOUNT off of your training program if you workout with a partner....
