How expensive is personal training? Before you think this is a buy my shit post I am FULL, I have no space to take on anyone new right now unless it is Between 11 & 2pm but I am not actively seeking any new clients right now. It depends on who you see, what result you want and how fast you want that result. Does it cost more than an exercise class or a gym membership? Yes. Does it cost more than many people spend each month on eating out, buying things they dont need? Probably not. The cost of NOT hiring a personal trainer is actually higher in the long run if you get the right one. The gym memberships, the detoxes, the shakes, pills, clubs, sins, points, healthy foods Weight loss bread, years of generic fun classes etc New clothes because the old ones are Tight The cost of fuel because youre lethargic so dont walk to the shops or your friends just around the corner. These are just a few financial costs people trying to lose weight have over the years this adds up to tens of thousands over a life time and believe me people do diet for a life time. If you honestly added up everything youve spent not achieving your goals and you might stop spending money on things that dont work. But the financial cost is irrelevant because if you truly believed that a solution would give you the result you REALLY wanted you would pay what ever it cost but because you dont believe in yourself enough the investment seems more important. Self Belief is the limiting factor many times, not the financial cost. Btw a good trainer will offer you a money back guarantee based on the result you want, I do. (I have Never given a refund on this basis EVER) So what is the true cost of Going it alone Or Taking The Quick Fix, again and again. Time for one, how many years are you willing to spend being unhappy with the things you hate that the people who can help you could give to you in a relatively short period of time? I hear it all the time. I hate myself, I hate this, I hate that. Ill do anything to lose this weight Ill do anything to feel better about myself I want to feel like I am attractive to my partner I am sick of being the Fat Friend Thats fine, I can help you with that, we can see a real difference in 3 months and it will cost £xxx Oh, I cant really afford it BUT, they still spend money eating out, buying new clothes, things they dont actually need BUT. . . They use these things to sedate themselves from the pain they feel from being over weight, from hating themselves so they use these things as a distraction. STOP! Seriously STOP. It hurts me to think about the amount of people I see who come to me asking for help, desperate for support and guidance on the best way for them to get help. You see I have spoken with HUNDREDS of people who hate themselves, HUNDREDS. People who then dont value themselves enough to DO something about the things they are so Desperate to change. Honestly I know that cost is an issue for some people but I also know that the majority of people who do inquire about personal training CAN afford it But. . . They are scared of losing the THINGS They use to sedate themselves MORE than they believe in themselves to achieve what they DO truly desire. The GOAL, the RESULT that WILL make you feel good about yourself is often within reach but you are often too scared, lacking in self belief after years of beating yourself up that you justify not taking action with things like Cost, Time, Not Right Now, Next Month, HMmmm Im just not sure. Once you start to believe in yourself, start to move towards your goal. With the right person leading you there you have no choice but to succeed and not only achieve your goals but SMASH them into another level. I wrote this from my heart and it took a bloody long time so I know its about health and fitness and people only like and share the motivational stuff, try sharing something REAL, RELEVANT and something that could actually get someone to believe in themselves. Many of my clients dont believe in themselves before they work with me. But they had enough belief to get started and for them that IS Enough. My belief carries people further than they thought possible and a great coach will have that ability. Theres a lot of bad ones out there but there are a few that care more about you than you care about yourself.
