I have always played sport from a young age, mostly for the social aspect, and as I’ve grown, i have continued with sport and exercise for the physical and mental benefits i gain from it. In 2015 i suffered serious damage to my right knee playing football, resulting in reconstructive surgery and an inability to partake in high intensity team sports following that surgery. Sport and exercise then became an independent hobby, driving me to find what exercise i enjoy to stay in shape and feel good mentally. I now attend the gym 4 times a week, focusing on weights as well as running 3 Pilates classes a week. I think regular exercise has a huge benefit my mental health as well as feeling good about myself. No-one else knows I’ve worked out, it’s like a secret, I know I have and it makes me feel great!
It’s all about finding a style of exercise that you enjoy. Every person is different and will enjoy a different type of exercise. Once you find that, the client will naturally engage more and give more energy to their work out. On another level, building rapport with your client is essential, they will work hard for you if you get to know them and their goals. Personal training is just that, personal. So find what makes your client tick and work with them in mind.
