Personal training: a good idea?

There are many reasons to personal trainer to hire:

• Do you have pain and chronic injuries that get in the way of your training? With the combination of a personal trainer, physiotherapist or rehabilitation expert you will receive quick answers and advice.
• Want to run a marathon for the first time? Just hire a personal trainer and you’ll get expert advice on how to get across the finish line injury-free.
• Is it really not possible to exercise in addition to losing weight? With the right guidance from a personal trainer you will be fine!

Cost?
Investing in your health and fitness is an absolute must if you want to enjoy a long life and a good quality of life. But let’s be realistic: hiring a trainer to train two or three times a week might not fit your budget.

Any good trainer that is really worth it will cost you a minimum of 50 euros per hour and top trainers will charge between 60-80 euros per hour or more. For two training sessions per week, that is at least 400 euros per month.

You can’t expect a major transformation in just a month. It quickly takes a few months to reach your goal and after that it is a continuous process of maintenance. So we quickly talk about thousands of euros per year.

Success assured
If you can’t afford to hire a good personal trainer or coach on a regular basis, you may want to hire someone occasionally. It makes a huge difference when you confide in someone and where you can go for information, inspiration and moral support.

If you can afford it, don’t hesitate any longer and hire a good personal trainer. You can train yourself for years without getting a real result. Having a trainer put together a professional training schedule for you makes a huge difference.

You are also accountable for your fitness goals. This gives you the feeling that you are no longer alone. With a good, smart trainer and with enough effort, you are practically assured of success!
