Why a Personal Trainer might be the best investment you can make for your goals.
Clients are 3× more likely to achieve their fitness goals with a personal trainer than when training alone – (Zipdo.co, 2024)
If that stat isn’t enough, let’s talk about why you might seriously need a personal trainer.
The health and fitness industry today is saturated with information. Social media has become most people’s main source of fitness advice but it’s a minefield. Influencers and celebrity trainers, now onto their 10th brand collab, are pushing their latest “must have”fat burner or training method. What’s right? What’s wrong? Who do you believe? And more importantly what’s actually relevant to you and your goals?
That’s where your trainer comes in.
We’re here to save you the time, energy, and frustration of sifting through conflicting advice. Think of us as part detective, part doctor identifying the real issue, and guiding you to a solution that works for your life.
Nearly 70% of clients feel more motivated when working under the guidance of a personal trainer – (Zipdo.co, 2024) Who stays motivated 24/7? I definitely don’t. We’re all human and if you’re relying solely on motivation to stay consistent, you’re setting yourself up to fail. That’s where accountability matters.
Personal trainers aren’t just here to count reps — we’re here to check in with you, hold you to your commitments, and remind you why you started. We empathise with the mental and emotional energy it takes to stay on track.
In my own experience, I’ve coached both a client preparing for a bodybuilding show and another to running her first marathon. Two completely different goals, but both required long term consistency, structure, and belief. The higher the highs, the lower the lows and when the goal feels far away or unreachable, that’s when coaching matters the most. When you think you can’t, it’s my job to help you realise you can.
“A cheerleader sees your strengths and celebrates your best self. A coach sees your potential and helps you become a better version of yourself.” — Adam Grant
Being the best version of yourself and achieving your goals requires learning new habits or unlearning bad ones.
“Median habit formation time is 59–66 days, though some habits may take anywhere from 4 to 335 days to fully stick.” (University of South Australia, 2024)
This is exactly why change doesn’t happen overnight and why having a personal trainer helps bridge that gap between motivation and consistency. It's not about willpower it’s about structure, support, and sticking with it long enough for it to become second nature. I’ve seen firsthand how easy it is to fall off track when you’re trying to do it all alone. But I’ve also seen what happens when someone has the right support and a coach who understands, guides, and believes in them when they can’t.
So the final question is:
If you could put a price on your fitness goal, how much would it be worth to you?
