Top 5 Benefits of Personal Training
Personal TrainingReceiving personal training at the gym offers more benefits than simply getting into shape. With the public becoming more health conscious, along with an increased desire to sculpt the perfect body – personal trainers have never been in such demand! But what are the top benefits of having a personal trainer?
MOTIVATION
It is tough to stick to a workout routine. Many people lose motivation early on and stop going to the gym entirely. A personal trainer encourages you to work your hardest. When you hit a plateau, a trainer helps you jump over it and climb higher. By sticking to a routine and having a set schedule of going to the gym, you will see greater results.
DECREASED RISKS
Exercising brings its fair share of risks. People often get hurt using gym equipment incorrectly or trying to lift too much too fast. Luckily, working with a personal trainer reduces those risks substantially. A trainer shows you to proper way to carry out certain exercises. By preventing injuries, you will not have to spend days or weeks on the couch recovering while all your progress subsides.
EFFICIENCY
A professional personal trainer is able to make the most of your workout time, which increases the efficiency of your exercise program. This is especially beneficial when you have a limited amount of time to exercise. For example, if you have to cut your 1-hour training session short one day, your trainer can complete a routine with you that burns the same number of calories and provides the same physical benefits in half the time.
CONFIDENCE
The gym can be intimidating. Working with a trainer allows you to become confident with how to perform exercises, use machines and navigate the facility. After a few sessions, you will feel ready to tackle the weight room on your own. Even better, an ego boost during exercise can promote stronger self-confidence and self-efficacy, which can help you stick with your exercise program over the long term.
FUN
Believe it or not, exercise can be enjoyable. A savvy personal trainer can make exercise both effective and fun. Group or buddy training can be a great way to increase enjoyment, make exercise social and attain the services of a trainer for a cheaper rate. And simply working with a trainer who you like and respect can be enough to provide you with more gratification from your workouts.

After 10 years of being a member and having been going to other gyms since I was 16 I can honestly say St Michaels for me just feels the perfect balance.
The instructors are not only very experienced and approachable in what they teach they are also, very importantly, just so human. They make everyone feel so welcome and included .. that vibe is so important. Every member matters.
Being a ‘member’ of St Michaels Health Club is more than the word suggests. You will find a community of like-minded people who just want to try their best to be consistent in their endeavours to keep as fit and healthy as they can. Fellow triers and the incredible team behind us at the club keep me motivated endlessly. The gym equipment and layout allows you to go your own way however I will say guidance is on hand easily.
Always you will be inspired and supported from both the team at the club and members alike. It’s friendly, I don’t feel intimidated and I’m getting results!
I’ve been a member of St Michaels for over 2 years and absolutely love it. Mainly doing classes, I invested in a PT session and now have a bespoke gym programme which I really enjoy. The range of classes is phenomenal and I do everything from spin to strength & conditioning to body combat, fascia release, body balance and yoga. The fact that body balance and yoga are held outside during the summer months is an extra bonus; yoga on Gylly beach is just sublime! I really like the fact that I am challenged in the classes and the standard of training is the best that I have encountered.
I’ve made lots of friends as everyone is so friendly. Changing areas are fab and the ability to have a post class shower is the icing on the cake!
As a longstanding member of St Michaels, I continue to choose to train and relax here due to the club's friendly and knowledgeable staff, both at the health club reception and those who take fitness classes. The proximity of the facilities to Gyllyngvase beach is a huge plus, as I swim and train in the sea as much as I can. Outdoor classes are a great idea and I find running and exercising near the coast uplifting. For me, the wellness membership offers everything I need to balance treating myself to time in the spa, staying motivated to become stronger and fitter with Lauren's personal training, plus gym sessions and classes and regular use of the sauna and steam rooms to wind down and catch up with friends. The club is an important part of my life.
