That said, taking some time out of your week to focus on your physical health can be a lifesaver, especially amidst all the parties, cookies, frantic shopping, travel and eggnog that often accompanies the holidays. If you want to get a jumpstart on your New Year\u2019s Resolutions, or if you\u2019re more interested in setting up a fitness regimen that makes big, dramatic resolutions less necessary, you might want to consider hiring a personal trainer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Weekly sessions with a personal trainer have been shown to&nbsp;<strong>greatly increase the participant\u2019s fitness and activity levels<\/strong>, according to a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.acefitness.org\/certifiednewsarticle\/2136\/personal-training-and-fitness-coaching-do-they\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study cited by Ace Fitness<\/a>, with&nbsp;<strong>73% of participants moving up at least one stage<\/strong>, and&nbsp;<strong>13% moving up two stages&nbsp;<\/strong>of change in their activity levels<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>According to two&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/10862549\">studies<\/a>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vitals.lifehacker.com\/the-real-benefits-to-hiring-a-personal-trainer-1729693042\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cited by Lifehacker<\/a>, male participants who were lifting weights as a form of strength training were&nbsp;<strong>able to see better results when supervised by a personal trainer<\/strong>&nbsp;than when lifting weights on their own<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Only 20% of Americans have a gym membership,&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ptpioneer.com\/personal-trainer-stats\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">according to the Personal Trainer Pioneer website<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal trainers are a great resource for people new to working out, who want to develop their confidence and knowledge with various aspects of working out, and people who are injury-prone or concerned about safety. While there are many potential benefits of hiring a personal trainer, some people might benefit from their assistance more than others. If you\u2019re thinking of taking your winter workout routine up a notch, consider whether any of the following reasons to hire a personal trainer apply to you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_87_1 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\"><p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<\/div><nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/health-wellness\/do-i-need-a-personal-trainer-and-what-can-they-do-for-me\/#you-have-specific-goals-in-mind-but-your-motivation-is-lacking\" >You have specific goals in mind, but your motivation is lacking.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/health-wellness\/do-i-need-a-personal-trainer-and-what-can-they-do-for-me\/#youve-been-doing-the-same-routine-for-years\" >You\u2019ve been doing the same routine for years.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/health-wellness\/do-i-need-a-personal-trainer-and-what-can-they-do-for-me\/#youre-worried-about-injuries\" >You\u2019re worried about injuries.<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.booksy.com\/us\/health-wellness\/do-i-need-a-personal-trainer-and-what-can-they-do-for-me\/#youre-not-getting-the-results-you-want-from-your-current-routine\" >You\u2019re not getting the results you want from your current routine.<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"you-have-specific-goals-in-mind-but-your-motivation-is-lacking\"><\/span><strong>You have specific goals in mind, but your motivation is lacking.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe you\u2019ve dreamed of one day completing marathon, or even just a 5K, but you keep putting it off. Maybe you want to lift a specific weight, or you\u2019re looking to improve your performance on the court. Maybe you just want to get in better shape, and the cold winter months make staying inside with a book or a movie a lot more appealing than dragging yourself to the gym.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal trainers can be a huge tool to help you set goals and stick to them. By committing to a regular training session, you already have the accountability to get yourself to the gym. What\u2019s more, when a trainer is watching you and guiding you through the workouts, it\u2019s a lot harder to settle for five crunches instead of twenty. The discipline you develop in your training sessions is a lot easier to replicate the rest of the week, when you begin to adapt to a more rigorous regimen and notice that your body is capable of keeping up.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124115\/woman-doing-exercise-2011377.jpg\" alt=\"woman stretching\" class=\"wp-image-47792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124115\/woman-doing-exercise-2011377.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124115\/woman-doing-exercise-2011377-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find me Personal training services<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"youve-been-doing-the-same-routine-for-years\"><\/span><strong>You\u2019ve been doing the same routine for years.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A personal trainer is a great tool if you\u2019re looking for more variety in your workout routine. Switching up your workout can improve results by working new muscle groups and improving flexibility. According to personal trainer Cynthia Sass&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/fitness-exercise\/features\/5-unexpected-benefits-of-a-personal-trainer#1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">in an interview with WebMd<\/a>, personal trainers can also help clients slow down exercises, changing the muscle response of activities they\u2019ve done for years. This can help build strength and improve form. A personal trainer will have different workouts planned each session, introducing you to new machines and movements that can help you improve your overall fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"youre-worried-about-injuries\"><\/span><strong>You\u2019re worried about injuries.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal trainers are a great tool for improving safety and preventing injuries. You may have a workout routine that feels satisfying and keeps you in shape, but if you\u2019ve noticed a few kinks and pains that are exacerbated by your workout, the guidance of a personal trainer can be a huge help. Personal trainers can show you lower-impact variations of the exercises you\u2019re used to, allowing you to work the same muscle groups while reducing the chances of injury.&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/fitness-exercise\/features\/5-unexpected-benefits-of-a-personal-trainer#2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">According to WebMd<\/a>, this emphasis on correct form, as well as proper warmups and cooldowns, can help reduce pain in addition to preventing injuries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"398\" src=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124154\/man-and-woman-holding-battle-ropes-1552242.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47797\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124154\/man-and-woman-holding-battle-ropes-1552242.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bks-blog-prd-wp-new-blog.storage.googleapis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/06124154\/man-and-woman-holding-battle-ropes-1552242-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"youre-not-getting-the-results-you-want-from-your-current-routine\"><\/span><strong>You\u2019re not getting the results you want from your current routine.<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re frustrated with your current fitness level, and you\u2019ve found that you have difficulty sticking to a regimen or improving beyond a certain point of physical fitness, a personal trainer is a great option. Trainers provide accountability and motivation, as well as a personalized workout plan. They can tailor their plan to help you achieve specific goals, whether that\u2019s a certain area of fitness or flexibility you want to improve or a certain accomplishment you\u2019re working towards. By keeping you motivated and encouraged, and personalizing your workouts with your specific needs and abilities in mind, they can help elevate your current routine for better results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Checkout personal training services near you!<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/18229_chicago\">Chicago<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/134655_los-angeles\">Los Angeles<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/11_new-york-metropolis\">New York<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/134763_orlando\">Orlando<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/134730_oakland\">Oakland<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/135315_san-francisco-bay-area\">San Francisco<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\/15761_tampa\">Tampa<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-fe48e5de wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/booksy.com\/en-us\/s\/personal-trainer\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Find me personal training services<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the midst of a hectic holiday season, hitting the gym and improving your fitness may&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":47787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[189],"class_list":["post-47786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health-wellness"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do I Need a Personal Trainer, and What Can They Do For Me? - Booksy.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Committing to a personal trainer can be a big decision!
