Personal Training
This is my pitch for personal training. I know, I know. Many, many folks on social media do this. So what could I possibly offer that separates me from the pack?
First and foremost, I do not have and will not make templates or generic programs. While this concept may sound noice, it can actually prove detrimental. Why? Because these programs are very general, most authors will write programs that address their likes, strengths, weaknesses, etc. So, as an example, let’s say a $100 12-week program is split between chest/triceps, legs, back/biceps, then legs again. The first day has 2 shoulder exercises, front and lateral raises. No direct posterior/rear delt work, not even on back day. This is due to the author considering they themselves have developed enough shoulder musculature to add them in as an afterthought. But, you, the customer, is not a 10+ year bodybuilder with pumpkins for shoulders. This is a huge issue with pre-made programs.
Second, many of these programs are lazy cash-grabs. Some authors will simply sell programs that last 12 weeks, usually, with the same exercises expected for the entirety of the macrocycle. Most gym-goers, including meatheads and enthusiasts, can’t stand monotonous training, let alone green-horns. But because they are shredded, the uninformed newbie is fooled into thinking this program is how this jacked person got to their physique. Some variety is expected just as much as some repetition of the same exercises.
Third, outrageous genuine training pricing. If you have informed yourself, or have been burned by cookie-cutter programs, let us assume you decide to hire an actual trainer virtually, especially during the COVID-19 situation. Many online coaches aren’t certified or lack the proper education. Not all of course. If prompted, will they provide their certification or degree? Sometimes they are champions or long-time veterans but, in many cases, one knows enough to teach oneself but not others. Will they expect someone who, for example, has a BMI over 30 or has zero athletic experience begin at the level where they began? These natural phenoms don’t always know how to coach true neophytes.
If you’ve read this far, thank you. As for my own pitch, I offer genuinely personalized training, customized to fit the equipment you have at your disposal, athletic/fitness experience, and goals. I also will work via whatever apps work best for you in order to better assist, coach, motivate and educate. I will always explain why I have you doing a certain exercise, what muscles its working, how it helps you reach your goals, and what alternatives exist in case that area/machine/weight is ever taken.
So shoot me an email @ [email protected] for more information so we can get started right away! I will provide a customized sample workout before we commit to a program every time. Don’t let seasonal, political and quarantine depression prevent you from achieving the healthiest version of yourself.
