I Need To Be Motivated At The Gym

by Neighborhood Trainers Finding a trainer is a personal choice

The alarm goes off. It is a gym day so it is earlier than yesterday. It is still dark outside, and worse it sounds like it is raining. What do you do? Are you one of the lucky ones who throws off the bed covers and leaps up to greet the day? Or are you one of the human ones? One who snuggles back down and promises themselves just 10 more minutes.

Motivation can be difficult

Getting the motivation to go to the gym and stay motivated while working out can be difficult. In the early days you see some results and while you do, it is easier. Your time at the gym isn’t so tough because your goal seems achievable. Then as we all do, you plateau.

This is when it is hard to keep going. Your motivation is low. Didn’t someone famous once say it was a sign of madness to keep doing the same thing and expect a different result? One thing you could do if you reach this point is consider Chappaqua personal trainers.

How a personal trainer can help

One of the problems for most of us going to the gym is the repetitive aspect of it. You go and do what you do and perhaps you talk to the same people too. You probably do it at the same time of day as well. The repetition gets to us.

A personal trainer can help break the monotony.

Understanding your goals

The first thing a personal trainer will do is discuss what you want to achieve. Is it weight loss that you’re trying to achieve, or are you beginning training for a marathon?

A personal trainer will get a grasp of your goals and then work out a plan to achieve them with you.

They know things you don’t

Imagine you were planning to do a triathlon but you only knew how to do the running bit. A personal trainer will help you learn to use your arms in the swim to leave as much power as you can in your legs for the ride and the run.

Their knowledge will be essential for your success and they will know how to encourage you to reach levels of fitness you never expected to have.

Your own personal cheering section

Does the idea of someone cheering for you make you feel better? Someone who believes in you? It is your trainer.
