What Is Personal Training?

North Point Personal Training - we're different!

This is difficult to explain because personal training can be so many different things depending on the client - that's what makes it personal! A client can choose to workout with their trainer 5x/week if they like, 2x/week, 1x/week, once every two weeks or even once every month. At the very least, a client should visit their trainer once every 6 weeks to make a few changes to their program to make sure they're always progressing and experiencing results. Too many people stay on the same program for an extended period of time and wonder why they're no longer experiencing changes in their fitness level. It’s critical to ongoing progress to regularly update one's fitness regime.

A client can decide whether they'd like to focus on cardio-conditioning, muscle-conditioning, flexibility, nutrition, or a combination of all of these. They can decide to workout with their trainer within the studio, at home, or outdoors. They can decide they want to learn to run, cycle, or maybe go for a hike. We really do strive to make our clients' sessions as individualized as possible.

Personal Training has become a very popular service with many people experiencing results, therefore, demonstrating its value. When someone signs up with a personal trainer, they can expect regular education, support and guidance. Their trainer will make them accountable - clients will always have someone looking over their shoulder. Trainers provide safety, variety, efficiency, and effectiveness.

A client's first session with a personal trainer is critical to helping them set up a foundation for success. Seven out of ten people start an exercise program, but then drop out within 2-3 months. This high drop out rate is often due to the fact that the individual has not spent any time establishing the right program for them based on their history, goals, individual needs, and lifestyle. Our North Point Personal Trainers spend a good portion of the first session talking with their new client to determine which type of program is going to help them stay motivated so they are consistent enough to progress, experience results, and succeed. We have established a 4–step process for motivation that we teach all of our clients to ensure they stick to the program.

We have helped so many different clients over the years from beginners, elderly individuals, people experiencing back, neck, knee, and shoulder problems. Tennis players, golfers, competitive basketball athletes, wheelchair athletes, triathletes, runners, cyclists, pre/post natal, obese clients, diabetic individuals, osteoporotic individuals, and many more. We are completely confident that regardless of someone's special considerations, we will be able to help them achieve a higher level of health and fitness.
