Personal Trainer VS At-Home Workouts

Any form of exercise is great! You are already ahead of 77% of the population if you partake in the appropriate amount of aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise**.

Online, at-home workout programs have helped get people healthy and moving! However, you may want to consider hiring a personal trainer, even if it's for a short period.

Here are a few advantages to hiring a personal trainer vs following at-home workout programs.

1) FORM: Personal trainers can help you with form, they can watch how your perform exercises and correct anything that might lead to injury.

2) ASSESSMENT: They can asses your movement to see if you have muscular imbalances or compensations.

3) GOALS: They can help you set realistic goals and adjust your fitness program to meet these specific and unique goals.

4) ACCOUNTABILITY: They can push you and hold you accountable to meet your goals and periodically evaluate your progress.

5) PLANS: They offer personalized plans according to your goals, movement compensations/imbalances, athletic events, and injuries

6) EDUCATION: They can teach you how to workout and educate you on why you are performing the exercises prescribed.

**According to a 2018 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study only 22.9% of U.S. adults from 18 to 64 met the 2008 guidelines for both aerobic and muscle-strengthening exercise between 2010 and 2015.
