There are a large percentage of people that purchase gym memberships with all the intentions in the world of losing that gut, dropping a dress size, or getting off of the high blood pressure medicine. Many people lack the knowledge and experience to make this goal a reality. After about 90 days most people continue paying for a membership that they won’t use again until they get the guilt bug. All too often people start a gym membership and stop, never really achieving any permanent transformation. Personal training is about accountability, motivation, and guidance. A healthy life is about the choices we make for example, how and where we choose to spend our money.
A common perception is that personal training is too expensive. Is this true or just a misconception? Say you really like that artery clogging fast food, the weekly trip with the kids to the ice cream parlor, or maybe the occasional midnight snack; this could be adding excessive weight gain causing your heart to work harder, raising your cholesterol level, or be the start of diabetes. Perhaps you’re a smoker and you smoke a couple of packs a day which increases the possibility of heart disease and lung cancer and involves a daily expense.
Treatment for diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, etc, all cost money. When you consider the cost of hospital stays, doctor’s visits, and prescription drugs based upon unhealthy lifestyle choices, the medical cost greatly exceeds the cost of a professional personal trainer? If you change your perspective on having a personal trainer to guide and help lead you to a healthier life the benefits will greatly outweigh the expense financially, physically and emotionally.
