Personal Training

It can be hard to figure out your own fitness training, especially if you’re new to working out. A personal trainer takes the guesswork out of things, helping you plan and stay on track. Here’s how a personal trainer can help you reach your fitness goals.

• Accountability & Support: They help keep you accountable and offer positive encouragement and support.
• Goal Progression: A trainer can help you identify goals, map out a plan, and track and measure progress.
• Education: They will educate you on proper form and other aspects of health and fitness.
• Variety: Things stay fresh and fun with the customized workout plans a trainer can create. 

A personal trainer will help you set realistic and attainable goals, form good habits, keep you accountable, and encourage you to find joy in exercise.

Most of us know we need to exercise more, but don't know where to start, what to do, or how much/how often to do it. The benefits depend on your particular needs and goals. Personal trainers assess their clients and make a customized, progressive exercise plan. For experienced exercisers, personal trainers can assist clients in breaking through plateaus or boredom by selecting exercises that will continue to challenge the body in new ways.

At the first session, any pre-existing injuries should be discussed with the personal trainer so he or she can modify an exercise routine to best address that issue. If the injury or condition is something that would jeopardize your safety while exercising, a medical clearance may be requested from your physician. In any case you and your trainer will address these concerns. 

Fill out a Personal Training Request form at your local YMCA of Wayne County Branch. The staff will pass on the request to the appropriate personal trainer, who will call you to schedule your first appointment. Personal training fees must be paid prior to the first appointment.
