The Importance Of A Personalized Approach To Fitness

A Personal Trainer can help to identify the best exercises and frequency to support people to reach realistic and achievable goals. Without this, people can not only waste time and money but also lose motivation. Here is what you can get with a personalised approach to fitness

According to research, almost half (46%) of those joining a gym have no specific goal in mind and, of those that do, nearly three quarters (74%) don’t set a deadline for achieving their goals. Sportsmed looks to guide these people to achieve their fitness goals

You can waste time in the gym, or you can use it wisely. Every person’s body is different and therefore will respond to exercise in slightly different ways, and it will depend on their goals. A Personal Trainer can help to identify the best exercises and frequency to support people to reach realistic and achievable goals. Without this, people can not only waste time and money but also lose motivation. People can get more value from their investment by getting a personalised evaluation and workout plan, providing structure, support, and help in setting goals.

We have a well-equipped state of the art gym to help fitness enthusiasts

Many people who start to join a gym refer that they feel overwhelmed by the different facilities and do not know how to use the several types of equipment. For that reason, an introduction should be offered to all new members. Thus, too often, gym users feel clueless about how they should be working out, and often are too embarrassed to ask for help. This lack of direction may result in following someone else’s workout because that person seems to know what they were doing or looks good physically.

Wellbeing is so individual; it just makes sense that everyone needs a plan that is built around them and their needs. Copying someone else’s workout in the gym is not only likely to prove ineffective, as it hasn’t been tailored to you, but it could also result in injury.

Understanding your workout

People should have a basic knowledge of the key measures that can be used to personalize a more effective workout plan, such as knowing their resting heart rate, blood pressure, aerobic fitness between others.

Other indicators like previous or existing injuries, joint mobility, body fat percentage can be used to plan a bespoke fitness program based on a person’s goals and /or to track progress. Progress should be measured, and workouts reviewed periodically.
