How to approach Personal Training in Chicago.
When setting a time pattern for achieving your goals, don't look towards fast results in short amounts of time. Set
yourself more so to achieving the long term goal of a healthy and physically active lifestyle.
Your success in achieving your goals is set not only by how often you meet with your personal trainer, but on how
dedicated you are in following the routines on your own time that your personal trainer has set for you. Remember that
ultimately, the responsibility lies within yourself and your consistency. Here are a few approaches you may want to
inquire about when working with a Personal Trainer in Chicago:
In Home / Out Door Training: In these tough economic times, it becomes difficult to justify the cost of a health club
membership as well a pay the personal training rate enforced by the gyms. Throw out the monthly membership fees!
For the same or even less training rate, allow me or one of my colleagues to come to your home, condo fitness center,
or even meet outdoors for personal fitness boot camp training. In fact, you can save more money by creating a small
private group of friends or family, to work with a personal trainer in Chicago, and split the fee among all the participants
for a great outdoor workout at a local park, or your own back yard.
Personal Group Fitness Training Chicago: Have a friend or two share the session you spend with a trainer in the
gym as a 2 on 1, or 3 on 1 training session. If you have similar goals, then you can split the cost of a personal trainer
to save you money, and still benefit from a specific exercise program, as well as enjoy the comradory of your friends.
Differences in Weekly Frequency...
Progressive Training: Dedicate yourself to meet with your trainer 3 to 5 times a week from 1 to 3 months. You'll get
the most attention to your needs and results by maintaining a regular level of consistency. This can be the best
approach for those who may not have the motivation to exercise at a proper level of consistency or intensity on their
own.
Moderate Training: Meet with your personal trainer 1 to 2 times a week, If you have it within yourself to follow a
program made to your specific needs on your own time. This approach depends on your own dedication to your goals.
Satellite Training: Meet with a trainer twice a week for two weeks to set your routine for the next month. After which,
you'll meet with your trainer once a month or once every two weeks to re-assess your progress, and to create new
exercise routines in order to avoid plateaus. This approach takes the greatest level of dedication and responsibility
upon yourself.
