“I’ve had other personal trainers, but they haven’t lasted long. My coach at Fitness Lab understands exactly how to motivate me.”
Motivation is a big part of why people choose to work with a personal trainer. At Fitness Lab, we understand that, just like there’s no one-size-fits-all training program, there’s also no one-size-fits-all way of motivating someone – something that Richard appreciates.
Richard: “My coach has made a huge effort to understand my psychology and how to motivate me. It’s mostly about the things outside the gym – lifestyle choices, what I eat, or the mental attitude I adopt. It feels like much more than personal training – it really appeals to me.”
Richard explains he felt like he’d carried more body weight than he wanted to for too long. Weight loss isn’t as simple as most people believe – so we helped him take an effective approach.
Richard: “My coach doesn’t just walk me through a routine, it feels like he works with me on lots of different levels. He’s very positive – and he’s helped me visualise the weight loss and the positive lifestyle stuff that goes with it.
His positive feedback gives me such a strong impetus to keep moving forward. It’s a very encouraging way to approach training.”
Wherever you look in Fitness Lab or whomever you talk to, you’ll quickly understand that we value consistency far more than fad diets or workout trends. Richard explains how important this underlying philosophy has been when making changes to his health.
Richard: “I initially decided on Fitness Lab because it was over the road from where I live! Since then, my sessions have become a really helpful habit – my body-clock’s adjusted so I’m awake, up, and can be at the gym in less than 10 minutes.
The routine and consistency has been such an important part of making a change to my health.”
Richard works out twice a week with Fitness Lab – and we’re always just a message away if he needs any advice or input between sessions.
