When I became a member of Phoenix Fitness West Hamilton, I hired a Hamilton Personal Trainer to teach me how melinda-sealyto properly use gym equipment, acquire new programs to use on my own and hopefully reach my goals faster than I would alone.

“Is it what you expected?”  Yes and more, Now I feel very comfortable using the free weights and other equipment on my own.

“Are you happy with the results?’  Very Happy!!!!!  I don’t think, no, I now know, I wouldn’t have improved nearly as much without a Hamilton Personal Trainer.

“What would you tell someone who is sitting on the fence?”  Get off and get on with it !!!!!  Having a Personal Trainer is a great way to jump start your fitness program.  Why ease into it??   I lost fat, gained lean muscle and got a stronger upper body, not to mention I learned a lot of different workouts.

Eddie was a great Hamilton Personal Trainer for me.  He had new ideas each and every workout.  I learned from him how to do exercises safely as well as how much harder I can push myself than I ever thought.  He’s a great teacher and  Personal Trainer (with a sense of humor).  I will work with him again in the future when I need an extra little butt kicking !!!!

  1. Why should I use a Personal Trainer?

    Some people are happy to follow their own fitness program in their own time and place; for those who lack the time, motivation, knowledge experience or the energy to train effectively on their own, a Personal Trainer can be the answer. The support, advice and encouragement comes with safe exercise technique to help you avoid injuries an avoid wasting time
  2. When do I need a Personal Trainer?When you are overweight, when you are underweight, when you are unfit, when you want to get more fit, when you have just had a baby, when you are in training, when you are bored with training, when the kids have left home, when the jeans don’t fit, when you are too busy to keep fit, when you are going skiing, when Christmas has happened, when summer is about to happen, when aerobics has become boring, when you can’t avoid the mirror, when you always avoid the scales, when you want to!
  3. How often should I train?
    Three times each week should be sufficient for you to start feeling and seeing results. Although, like anything, you will get more out of it if you put more in. Whether you work out with your Trainer every time is up to you, and how motivated you are, how often you can afford to train, what your schedule is like every week.
  4. Where should I train?There is no ‘should’ – you can achieve results working out in a gym, in the park, or at home. It is more a matter of availability, knowledge, variety, intensity and of convenience for you, particularly if you have special rehabilitative needs, which may require special equipment.to topto top
  5. Will my Trainer put me on a diet? Stop me smoking/make me stop drinking?
    Most Personal Trainers are fully aware that in order to change an unhealthy lifestyle you have to work within it. You will find that many Personal Trainers can give you nutritional and lifestyle advice – whether you take it is up to you. We are only with you a few hours a week, but the more fit you become, the better you will treat your body as a natural consequence.
  6. What’s the typical cost of a personal trainer?
    Unfortunately there is no typical cost, although the range is between $70 and $70 per hour dependent on your location, time for training and their experience and client list. If you spend $500 a year on gym fees and use the facility once or twice, with no results as a consequence, that is expensive.Although prices range across the country, and will be influenced by the length of each session, skills required, gym fees which may be payable, travel costs and any other number of contributing factors, most Personal Trainers will set a rate which is affordable and effective according to the situation each client is in. And you will be guaranteed results, progress and development.
  7. What sort of people have a Personal Trainer?
    Housewives, stockbrokers, rock stars, company directors, nannies, coffee-shop managers, bankers, doctors, dressmakers, accountants, firemen, receptionists, PR executives, hoteliers, waiters, newsagents, DJs, journalists, producers, secretaries, actors, sportsmen and women, electricians, anyone who is serious about making the most of their workout times!
  8. What sort of people are Personal Trainers?
    Energetic, committed, motivating, enthusiastic, bright, sympathetic, dedicated, understanding, busy, interested, professional, healthy, intelligent, flexible, knowledgeable, approachable, confidential, trustworthy, friendly, ordinary people….
  9. Can I set the time I work out?
    You are the client and so should be able to train when you want. However, do remember that trainers will have existing clients and so your first choice may not be available so it’s best to be flexible. If your trainer consistently arrives late or starts cancelling at the last minute you should question whether they are right for you. If you’re changing your training time, always give at least 24 hours notice – otherwise you’ll be charged.
  10. Where does a Personal Trainer train clients?
    This will depend on where you’ve agreed your sessions will be. They could be in the fitness club, in the studio or in the field outside the studio.
  11. What happens during a Personal Training session?
    A personal training session will normally last for one hour. This will follow along the lines of a brief warm-up followed by your main training program where you will focus on your goals using cardiovascular, strength or flexibility exercises. Finally there will be a cool down or relaxation period. Any program may vary from one session to the next according to your needs and progress.
  12. Does a Personal Trainer ask questions about your lifestyle?
    The nature of personal training is such that it incorporates your needs, goals and preferences. The trainer will need to ask some initial questions during the consultation, which probe the demands that are placed on you from your job or lifestyle. Typically the first session will include questions about :

    • Basic personal details
    • Medical background
    • Fitness background
    • Lifestyle factors (e.g. smoking or drinking)
    • Nutritional habits (you may be asked to keep a diary)
    • Personal goals and objectives in relation to fitness

    So as you can see a trainer looks at more than just the fitness or exercise component of your life. Any professional trainer should be able to provide information and advice about nutrition, stress management, motivational techniques and then be able to refer you on to others where the need may arise (Chiropractics or Massage say.)

  13. Does a Personal Trainer require a doctor’s certificateDepending on your recent fitness and exercise programmes (or lack of) they may ask you for a certificate if they believe that medical conditions and/or past injuries will affect your participation in a training session. If you are under the care of a doctor for any reason or if you are over 40, and starting exercise for the first time, you will be asked to see your doctor to obtain their clearance first.
