Should You Get A Personal Trainer? | My Real Thoughts on Getting A Personal Trainer

A big question I’ve been hearing since the start of the new year is “should I get personal trainer?” or “do I really need a personal trainer?” Personally, with the way fitness industry has been changing lately, I have some strong opinions about it. There are many fitness influencers and coaches out there just trying to make money from online coaching or personal training, but they are forgetting the real goal of being a coach or trainer... TO HELP PEOPLE!. In this video I go over my true thoughts on if personal trainers are worth it and if getting a personal trainer actually works in this day and age.

Have you ever had a personal trainer? And are there any helpful fitness people that you enjoy watching specifically?

Unless you need a spotter, you can just watch youtube videos and play it repeatedly and you’ll probably know more.

Before I even consider health coaching - I only signed up for your videos for obvious reasons! HOWEVER, besides that, I’m impressed with the quality of the videos and information. I tried a personal trainer and I never showed up. I love to eat and have no clue about healthy options.

I completely agree with you on this video! How does one become an online health coach

Honestly, as a relatively new personal trainer/health coach, I've doubted my knowledge and ability and have struggled to get a job at a gym, so it blows my mind there are trainers like that out there. At this point, I'm considering just starting my own online business as everything you said is so spot on.
One thing I'd also like to add is that, as a health coach, we're also able to act as "case managers" for our clients to help them find resources for their mental health, food assistance, helping them find the right doc, etc. which really makes a big impact and why I love health coaching. It goes far beyond just fitness and nutrition like you're saying. Anyway, love the content, def gonna check out more from you from now on.

Personal Training helped me kick start my weight loss journey... however, at uni I soon put the weight back on, and then some. I would ask my PT to design workouts for me, I got so desperate for help I even paid him... He gave me a very basic, all round workout, despite our decisions on what would suit me best.
When I came home from uni I was not at all well (found out I had Coeliac Disease) and he was very rude when I said I couldn’t train. Like I was wasting his time. In the end I realised he didn’t truly care about my well being but my money.

Still trying to find a PT that is looking out for the whole person and not to line their pockets.

PT’s and the $$$ I committed got me off the couch. Now I workout at home.

I am a personal trainer. I have a pot belly. But I am also very fit. I work out 5 days a week. I eat very healthy. No matter what I do or how healthy I eat, I can't get rid of the belly. I even had coolsculpting done. This is from having a child. My point is, don't judge a book by its cover because you never know why someone has that particular issue.

Thanks for your approach of training. God bless u sir.

This couldn't be more wrong. You are comparing all personal trainers to some bad ones. EVERY profession has bad apples. But a good personal trainer is also a life coach, they help with nutrition, sleep, stress management. Your video saying you're done with personal trainers because you've seen a couple bad ones is like me saying I'm done with muffins because i had one bad one....🤷🏾‍♂️

I think this is interesting. I just got a personal trainer and work out 3x a week. I have a dietitian to help with nutrition which is covered by my insurance. So with that combo I think it’s great. Dietitians are covered by most insurances so the nutritional value from a personal trainer is obsolete. My personal trainer is very engaged and very supportive. He helps me with form and push me hard. I’ve lost 3lbs in the last week and I think it was the right choice of me

I feel you need to be fit at least to be a personal trainer, atleast be in Shape

[rainelowery]

I know healthy looks different on everyone but I strongly agree that if someone is training me I want them to be someone who is asking you to do things they can and have done also, someone who models what they say and look the part too. I don’t trust someone who is in worse shape than me and is just there for the paycheques and don’t care about people’s health and fitness.

[decentdeeds]

What about age? Is it gud or bad to have a personal trainer who is for example 17 years younger than you?

[darlacook]

it. This is too Expensive to have these issues.

[dwreck]

Well I just signed up for a personal trainer I start with him Monday this is the first time doing this. I’m trying to bulk up in muscles. I’ve been skinny my whole life and I wanna change that now. So any positive feedback I would greatly appreciate it

[desertrose]

I have had 3 personal trainers and frankly neither of them were good. And yes all of them need to check their phones all the time.

[eureka]

hey what do you think if we do a collab video

[damonmcdonald]

Online training is a cash grab. Personal training should be “in person”.
