Do you want a personal trainer or a routine?

[NA2 Fitness]

Hello everyone,

I have worked as a sports consultant for a number of years now. Having achieved national titles in my own sport I decided it was something that I would be pretty good at and could relate to potential clients pretty well with.

Recently I have been working with those who are not athletes but are serious about getting in shape. I have found although some are quite interested in the personal training type system (i.e. one to one sessions) quite a few are interested in having routines written up and then going on their own with a review every 4-6 weeks.

I was wondering if this is something other people have been experiencing?

Is this not what gyms already do?

Gyms do do this (most of them!) but they do outsource on occasions as well. So maybe you could contact some local gyms.

I have seen a rise in Boot Camp/Military style training with personal trainers who put a range of packages together e.g. Bridal Bootcamp etc. Its a fun concept and different from the standard personal training, and plus its usually outdoors and all weathers!

My gym provides both services (i.e one on one personal training sessions, or a routine/nutrition schedule drawn up with periodic reviews) provided by self employed personal trainers, and both are popular. The option of not having one on one sessions X times a week seems to be particularly popular with young people and those who haven't been to a gym much before, as it provides them with the guidance they need without the hefty price tag that can be attached to personal training one on one sessions on a regular basis.
