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!
