Personal Training and You
 Personal Trainers are not just for
the rich and famous. You can feel glamorous as an actor or rock
star right here in Madison. Capital Fitness offers professional
training services that meet everyone''s
personal fitness goals.
Whether you are a novice in the gym or a life long exerciser, meeting
with a Personal Trainer will benefit you. You can sign up for one
session, 15 sessions or for the rest of your life, if you like. You
can get on a program to work on alone or create a new habit of showing
up, getting a workout and moving on with your day without those thoughts
of, "What am I going to do in the gym?" or "Maybe
I''ll just go home after work today and hit it tomorrow."
The American Council on Exercise has done the job of summing up the
benefits of hiring a personal trainer:
Motivation. Personal trainers wear many hats, serving not only as
coach, but also as an educator, confidant, role model and a major
source of motivation and encouragement.
Consistency. Do you find it difficult to stick to your program?
Scheduling regular appointments with a personal trainer helps eliminate
any excuses you may come up with for not exercising.
Safety. Are you unsure about how to use the chest-press machine at
the gym or how to perform walking lunges without hurting your knees?
A personal trainer will show you how to exercise safely (including
which exercises to avoid), and instruct you on the proper and safe
use of exercise equipment.
Individualized instruction. An exercise program that works for one
person may not work for another. A personal trainer will develop
the most effective program for you based on your fitness evaluation
results and personal goals.
Effective workouts. Today's hectic lifestyles mean you don't have
time to waste on ineffective exercise routines. Personal trainers
help maximize your time by providing workouts designed to meet your
goals quickly and efficiently.
Supervision. Personal attention during exercise is the primary function
of personal trainers. Need someone to spot you while you do pull-ups?
Looking for feedback on your running form? That's what your personal
trainer is for: to observe, assist and, if necessary, correct as
needed.
Sports-specific training. Many amateur and professional athletes
work with a personal trainer during the off-season to prepare themselves
for in-season competition. Whether you want to shave some strokes
off your golf score or beat your brother-in-law at tennis, a personal
trainer can tailor your program to your sport of choice.
Injury rehabilitation. Injuries and accidents can prevent you from
participating in your favorite activities. An experienced personal
trainer, however, can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending
exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future
injuries.
Special-needs training. Research confirms that individuals with health
challenges such as diabetes, asthma, osteoporosis or heart disease
benefit greatly from regular physical activity. These conditions,
however, can make exercising safely a challenge. Many personal trainers
are experienced in designing programs that address the special needs
of these and other conditions.
Ego boost. It's a fact - feeling good makes you look good, and vice
versa. Not only can personal trainers help you achieve your health
and fitness goals, they provide you with positive feedback on your
performance and bolster your confidence to take on new challenges.
Capital Fitness members who have worked with a personal trainer
have found many of these reasons to be true.
Sue Kirton, 49, a Madison business owner, said that working with
a personal trainer changed her training routines and abilities in
ways she didn''t think possible.
"Personal training has changed my life every way," Sue
said. "I''m a runner and I thought that I was in good
shape. Within two months I had cut a minute off my mile. I now have
amazing muscles that I show off all of the time! I get lots of compliments!"
