No Stroll In The Park

April 20th, 2009

This may sound cliche but it works everytime I share it.

“If you think personal training is a stroll in the park, think again”. This is my favourite phrase of late. Perhaps I should be immortalised for coining a new phrase?

Besides commitment from both client and trainer, personal training also demands a lot of determination from the client. It is definitely not an hour of chit-chat time where you pour out all your sob stories, latest problems or gossips to me.

Have you ever wondered why there are some people who work out at the gym for years and still remain scrawny or chubby? That’s because they spend too much time chatting up other people in the gym and neglect the workout.

Sorry, in my personal training sessions, you will never get this. Yes, we will have some small talk but basically that’s about it. My role is to push you to the limits and be responsible for your improvement session after session. I want to see you perspire as if you have never perspired in years. I want you to become stronger each session.

It’s amazing how there are some who look at the weight and even before they start to push or lift, start forming negative thoughts in their minds which go ‘no, no, no way I can lift that’.

Such self-defeating beliefs should be thrown out of the window. I’m here to help you push through the barriers. Let us work on a meaningful and beautiful partnership :)

Personal training is a stroll in the park? Please think again…
