Personal fitness training encompasses several fields. A good personal fitness trainer should have a profound understanding of exercise form, biochemistry, endocrinology, human physiology, dietetics including supplementation, and psychology. For it is the confluence of these, that enables a good personal fitness trainer to get a person into shape. Do not confuse personal training with coaching. Personal fitness training is about obtaining a desirable physique, coaching is about making someone proficient in a particular discipline, whether it, be running, swimming, dancing etc.
The most important thing to realize is that the human body has genetic limitations, and whether a person chooses to go the natural route, or the artificially enhanced route ie. Using, thermogenics, anabolic steroids, and or growth hormone, their personal fitness trainer should have a profound understanding of these concepts. I take no moral judgment on the use of synthetic ergogenic compounds. Most personal fitness trainers would have you believe, that you may achieve a certain level without the use of drugs like anabolic steroids and growth hormone. But this is simply not, the case, you have to clearly lay out what you desire from your physique, and accept certain trades, that may have to be made. Most people will be able to achieve an above average physique, drug free, but the body does have endocrinological limitations when it comes to an extreme physique. I can show you how to achieve these goals, both ways, responsibly. Psychology plays an important role, and this is overlooked by most personal fitness trainers.
Often people cannot envision having the physique of their dreams, and often their seeking out a personal fitness trainer is to mitigate the damage they’ve already done, with fad diets, and their overindulgence of cardiovascular exercise. They don’t want to deteriorate any further. These psychological profiles need to be addressed. Supplementation is critical if clients want a great physique but want to go the natural route, people find it difficult to take in the protein necessary, without protein supplementation. Not to mention the ingestion of key substrates, like the amino acid glutamine, and creatine. If one is on a high protein, low carbohydrate diet, or a ketogenic diet, then protein supplements would help with this as most of these diets are still not sufficient in terms of protein intake, and are too low in total calories, which results in muscle tissue wasting. So unless your personal fitness trainer can deliver this information, he is then merely a coach. At our private personal fitness training studio in Morningside, Sandton, we can help you achieve your physical goals.
