What Your Trainer Really Thinks


If you’re looking for a personal trainer Eagle Rock has some amazing ones waiting for you at our personalized exercise studio.  But maybe you’re wondering how trainers really feel about some things you’ve considered doing during workouts.  If you’re hesitating, read on–we bet you won’t be hesitant by the time you’ve heard our true confessions.

Be Curious

Have you ever wondered why a trainer is asking you to stick out your elbow, exhale at a certain stage of the movement, or do more or fewer reps than you did the last time?  If so, don’t keep your curiosity to yourself.  Most trainers are passionate about exercise and physiology to a fault.  We love this stuff, and we love it when you ask questions.  If you’re the kind of person who does better when they understand the reason they’re being asked to do something, don’t feel like you have to censor yourself during your workout.

Be Up-front

We get that you don’t want to be pushy, and we also understand that not everybody is clear in their mind about what they want to achieve, but it’s important that you be open and honest with us as we’re working with you to help you set goals.  If you really want to look great in your wedding dress, tell us, even if you’re afraid that will make you look more shallow than saying you want to get fit for the sake of your health.  (We get it.  We like to look good, too.)  If you want to put on extra muscle, we’ll probably design a different program for you than we will if you’re just looking to lean out.  To make sure that we’re on the same page, it’s good to set aside time to track progress, set goals, and make sure that we’re providing exactly the expertise and guidance you want.
