What You Need To Know Before You Try To DIY Strength Training

Are personal trainers a waste of $$$?

My answer: Maybe. And also maybe not.

Depending on where you're coming from, it could either be the best investment you ever make or the most expensive/unnecessary way to do fitness. Truly. But yanno what's worse than spending an astronomical of money on fitness related products and services? Spending a small amount of money on fitness related things that don't actually help you get where you wanna go. Over and over again.

Here's the most important thing I want you to know:

If you’ve ever signed up for some kind of DIY fitness offer (meaning one that doesn’t include coaching) and never actually used it, you’re not lazy or unmotivated, and there’s nothing wrong with you. What you probably needed was a different kind of support.

What kind of support do you actually need when it comes to your fitness though? 

On this episode we talk about: 

  • Why I sometimes actively discourage people from signing up for my DIY strength training program. 
  • How decide if you'd do best with 1:1 personal training, a group program, or you're ready to start lifting on your own.
  • The things your personal trainer should be teaching you so that they're not just training you to be dependent on them forever.
  • How to stop wasting time and money on fitness services that aren’t serving you and get yourself in a program that makes a meaningful difference in your life.
