When should you get a personal trainer?
Here are 10 reasons why you may want to start with one of our Physical Therapist / Personal Trainers:
You Have a Specific Illness, Injury, or Condition
If you find yourself avoiding certain exercises because of pain or skipping the gym because your ‘bad’ knee or ‘bad’ hip hurts – then we’re the right trainers for you. We specialize in helping people with complex injuries recover and grow stronger.
You Aren’t Seeing Results
Getting help from an expert will dramitacally change the speed and effectiveness of your results. Whether you want to gain muscle mass or improve your confidence. We will show you results faster and help you understand your results – beyond the scale!
You’re Bored With Your Workouts
Getting used to the same treadmill and dumbbell routine? We love creating programs with movements our clients have never done before. It’s fun for you and for us. We’ll get you out of the same old routine and into one that has you try new things.
You Want to Be Challenged
Each person prefers a different level of difficulty in exercising. We love creating programs to push you out of your comfort zone and giving you new experiences. Try one of our custom programs to re-learn the thrill of physical growth and break a serious sweat.
You Don’t Know Where to Start
Everyone starts somewhere! Starting an exercise, strength or weight loss program can be intimidating, so we make sure you’re comfortable with every program, technique and method.
You Want To Train For An Event (such as a local 5K, Iron Man or Physique Competition)
Interested in running in a local race? We are too! We often run local 5Ks and we’d love to train you to join us for a local event! Or if you’re looking beyond local get in touch with our advanced athletic trainers so we can develop a plan specifically for your competitive event.
You Need Motivation & Someone To Help Keep You On Track
Everyone hits walls on motivation and staying on track. If you find yourself yo-yo-dieting or losing the motivation to go to the gym for serveral months, a trainer would be great for you. We’ll help you see results, stay motivated and help nudge you when you aren’t feeling it.
You Want to Learn How to Exercise on Your Own
Trainers don’t have to be a lifelong commitment. Maybe you want to learn the fundamentals of exercise, health and nutrition and then take that knowledge back to your gym. We’ll give you the tools to build a better program specifically for you.
You Want To Train For a Specific Sport
We are experts in movements at Physique, but we are also current and former athletes. We are passionate about building your body for peak performance. If you’re interested in training for an upcoming sports season, get in touch with our team.
You’re Embarking On a Long Outdoor Event
If you’re getting ready to hike, for example, the Pacific Coast Trail, preparation is key. As outdoor lovers ourselves, we’ll help you get set up with all the physical fitness needs for an endurance event like this.
