What Motivates Personal Trainers?

 NOVEMBER 9, 2016

Obviously, I can only write on behalf of myself, every person and every trainer out there will probably be different. So I chose to make this post as a thank you and to share some of my own insights about health and fitness.

This morning I was asked;

 “How do you push yourself, what is it that make you keep going?”

It is often that I am being asked those kind of questions and today it was by one of my clients.

My respond was, simple and quick:

YOU, you are my inspiration and motivation!

You mean, latterly me, or…?

I meant and still  do, yes, you and every single one of my clients and previous ones as well.

You see, every-time I train, and I always do my best to bring the best I have in my workouts, I also have that voice in my head (not as often as it used to be, but here and there still shows up) telling me; “it’s OK, we already did 12 reps, lets just stop.” when I know my goal was, 18 reps, every-time I have that voice, telling me; “you workout yesterday, just don’t train today”, every-time I hear that voice, I have a vision of one of my client’s sessions with me.

Seeing how during the sessions, I can really feel and see how they wish to give up for a moments, and just cause either I’m in-front of them, or just cause on that specific moment I was able to say something to help them keep going and they do,  that kind of vision get me keep going.

My clients are constant inspiration for me of how hard it is to do what they/we do, and for them it’s much more then for us, professionals in the industry, since we chose to make it our life, (at list I hope that every single trainer out there did).

The only difference that maybe some (like me for example) have over others is that we enjoy the pain, the sweat, the challenge and make it more fun and enjoyable for us, when others might be stuck in their mind of all the why they hate it and how hard it is and how they wish to be anywhere ells but in that moment. Either way, those ones for me are just as inspiring as the others, cause despite the antagonism they might hold, they still do it, they still invest in what they know is good for them. and for me, that’s an inspiration.

So thank you all for being a great inspiration.

No Pain No Gain

  We all heard the term: “No Pain No Gain”, I use it quite often with myself, sometimes even with my trainees. However, I am not sure people actually understand the meaning of it. We tend to confuse between pain of stupidity to pain of wisdom, between the physical pain of hard work to the pain of a fracture or a nerve. The pain of a fracture might be to signal us that we are on the wrong path. A pain of a nerve could try to say that maybe we are pushing too much, a pain of stupidity could be when you think you should jump higher than you ever practice for or before, or when you just go for a marathon run when you never run for 10 km in a row. All those versions of pain could not be and should not be part of that statement. Believe me when I say, that it is more painful to push through mentally when a thing seems statics then physically when you can feel the wrong pain. It is easier to say to yourself “if I don’t feel the physical pain I probably don’t push hard enough”, then to kee...

A Path to True Wellness and Balance

 In the pursuit of a healthy life, we strive for balance, aim to maintain our health, and seek happiness within ourselves and our daily lives. While achieving this may seem straightforward, many of us face regular challenges in doing so. We often hide behind our screens, offering advice and sharing personal stories in an attempt to guide others. Yet, when we delve deeper, we find that issues such as obesity, depression, lack of joy, stress, and anxiety persist. So, what’s the key? I believe that self-reflection—practiced often, even daily—can lead us toward our desired goals. The first step is to define your destination: what does wellness truly mean to you? According to the Google Dictionary: Well: in a good or satisfactory way. Ness: denoting a state or condition. However, defining wellness alone isn’t enough to help you reach your aspirations. It requires your personal experiences, objectives, and passions to truly shape it. Begin by asking yourself: What does "well" me...
