Personal trainers are not for everyone, but a trainer provides certain benefits that you don't get when working out on your own. Here are some of the main reasons regular, personal, training sessions may be right for you.

1. Motivation

One of the main reasons people benefit from a personal trainer is that they lose motivation to stick with a consistent exercise program.

2. Individualised Program

If you have any health conditions, injuries or training goals (running a marathon, for example) a trainer will work with you and your health care provider to plan a safe efficient program that considers these needs and enables you to reach your health and fitness goals.

3. Efficiency

Personal Trainers help you to focus on results and stop you from wasting your time doing inefficient workouts.

4. Break Through Plateaus

Ok, you are already in pretty decent shape, but you've been there for years. If you are stuck in the same routine and want to break out of a rut and begin to make progress again, a personal trainer is the perfect solution.

5. Lose Weight

There's a simple explanation as to why the number one reason people hire personal trainers is to lose weight and get into shape - it works.
