Why Hire a Personal Trainer?
Let me answer your question with a question. Why do we need Accountants? Dentists? Financial Advisors? Attorneys?
It’s simple. All of us need 5 things:
- 1Help
- 2Expertise
- 3Guidance
- 4Avoid Costly Mistakes
- 5Save Time and Money!
Now, of course, I’m biased when it comes to personal trainers because I say we are one of the best investments you’ll ever make when it’s comes to health, wellness, and finally fitting into those jeans! Not only that, hiring an expert saves you TIME! We will provide what you need based on your health history, goals, and current fitness levels.
I have spent years studying, learning, and applying my knowledge to get my clients the best results possible and taking out the guesswork for them.
What is personal training?
Personal training consists of coaching from a experienced and/or certified personal fitness trainer… this trainer teaches you, motivates you, and gets you to work hard consistently while following a detailed fitness and nutrition plan which the trainer develops for you based on you and your goals.
Personal training is the most effective method of achieving your health, fitness, and/or weight loss goals as it utilizes the most effective exercise and nutrition strategies while at the same time it keeps you continuously making progress.
How will I benefit from working with a personal trainer?
You WILL benefit in so many different ways…
And more benefits:
Health benefits include: stronger/more efficient heart, lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, helps stabilize blood sugar, decreases likelihood of many diseases/maladies, slows the aging process, increases energy & mental sharpness, fights depression, strengthens bone density, increases circulation, creates better balance & functional strength, & improves the quality of YOUR LIFE!
I could go on for days!
Why should I choose Lifestyles Fitness Personal Training?
There are several reasons…

- 3Our only focus is on helping you achieve your goals… that’s it… that’s what we do and we are the best at it… just check out some of our client success stories.
What kind of results can I expect?
It honestly depends primarily on how bad you want to achieve your goals and how hard you are willing to work. Our personal training programs will allow you to get the most out of your fitness and nutrition.
Other important factors are age, gender, attitude, and what you learn from us and how much you apply it to your lifestyle after you leave our hands. The clients that have been most successful are those that apply these 3 major principles: Positive Attitude, Consistency, and Specific Goals.
On average, most clients lose approximately 1/2 – 1 pound of body fat (not scale weight) per week and often will lose 5-15 pounds in a 10 -12 week period. (Everybody is different)
Don’t take my word for it though… be sure to also check out our success stories page to hear how others have benefited from our programs.
How do I know which program is right for me?
It all depends… first, you need to know what your goals are… then look at the different programs we offer and see if you see one that’s a good match. Each client is unique and we will customize a program to meet YOUR goals and needs. Check out the differentpersonal training programs now
If after looking at the different programs you still aren’t sure, don’t worry, we can help you figure it out. Just email us or call (480) 628-5868
How often should I meet with a personal trainer?
This still depends upon your goals, how quickly you want to achieve them, your schedule and time available to exercise, and your budget… but when considering the cost, be sure to remember that this is your health and there is nothing on earth that is more important… because without it you have nothing.
On average, most clients do best when they meet with a personal trainer 3-4 times per week… less than that many people will slack off and not get nearly as much out of it. Here are a few things to keep in mind when determining how often you’ll meet with your trainer…
- 1How fast do you want to achieve your goal and see results?
The more frequently you meet with your trainer the faster you’ll see results and achieve your goals and there are several reasons for this… consistency, accountability, motivation, guidance, you’ll work much harder with your trainer than on your own, etc.
- 2How much experience with exercise do you have and how much do you really know?
While many people have exercised before, many for years… but do you really know it all? It’s not likely… we spend years and years studying and learning to know what we know and our primary focus is on helping and teaching you. Think about it… if you don’t know how to fix your computer… Are you going to try to figure it out yourself or have someone help you? Why leave your fitness results to chance? Most people just spin their wheels trying to figure it out and end up wasting time and getting frustrated. Our Personal Trainers use the MOST Effective exercise strategies to get your results FAST!
Many of our clients have openly expressed to me that they have joined gyms in the past and started going for a month or so then never returned. Why? #1 reason was that they didn’t have to go if they didn’t want to even though they know they should. Our surveys indicated the exact opposite response… That our current/past clients actually ENJOY coming because they achieve their desired results, love the variety of training, appreciate personalized instruction and the private studio, and to top it off have FUN!
Are all of your personal trainers certified? Insured?
Yes, all of our personal trainers have a combination of experience and/or certifications, and/or degrees, and we carry a comprehensive insurance policy. We will match you with the best trainer that fits your needs.
What areas do you service?

Isn’t personal training expensive?
It really isn’t when you put it in perspective. First of all, it’s interesting what all of us spend our money on. I invite you to take a look at your budget and I guarantee you will find something that is either frivolous or wasteful. Such being the case, why in the world would you skimp on your own health & well-being?
Doctors, Dentists, Accountants, Attorneys, Financial Advisors, etc. are all very expensive but when it makes sense to use them it saves us time, money, and we pay them for their expertise.
Personal Training is exactly in the same category and without one’s health you have nothing. What always amazes me is that people will spend tens of thousands of dollars on cars, gadgets, Plasma TV’s, eating out, extravagant vacations, partying, cable TV, expensive tickets to concerts & sporting events, etc., etc. and then actually hesitate when it comes to investing in their own health and improving the quality of their daily life and long term health.
