1st personal trainer session tomorrow

any advice? i'm meeting my trainer tomorrow at LA Fitness in Lake Grove. I'm a little nervous. I've worked out before but never with a trainer

Re: 1st personal trainer session tomorrow

Good luck! Be honest with your trainer...I remember the first few sessions pushing myself way too hard and then seriously hurting for days. Tell your trainer your real fitness level so he or she can provide the best workouts for you.

Having a trainer is super motivating! I need to go back to mine!

Re: 1st personal trainer session tomorrow

By best advice would be to remember that YOU are in charge, and that you hired this person to help you. Whether the workout is too hard or too easy make sure you speak up.

I've seen a lot of terrible trainers who are not educated and I hate when their clients don't say anything and just go along with workouts that aren't working for them because they don't want to hurt someone's feelings. Don't be afraid to ask for clearer instructions, why you're doing a certain exercise and about the trainers background. It should be hard - but it should also be FUN - don't forget that!!

Also make sure you are hydrated enough - drink lots of water tonight and tomorrow, you'll feel so much better if you're properly hydrated.

Good luck and let us know how it goes! And don't be nervous, it's a positive thing you're doing!!

Re: 1st personal trainer session tomorrow

Thank you. You're right. I will def speak up and let them know my actual fitness level. I'll let u know how it goes tonight. I really hope I click with my trainer. I wanted a female because I think I'll feel more comfortable.

Re: 1st personal trainer session tomorrow

I went last night for my training session. My trainer is female which I really liked. She is really sweet and I think she will push me to lose weight. She first weigh and measured me. She will do that once a month to monitor my progress. The 30 mins. flew by. We did a lot of arm weights. I'm happy I decide to do it. I'm going back wed. I like that fact that she shows me how to use all the machines because I only do the classes at the gym, not weights or stuff. Fingers crossed that this will work out.

Re: 1st personal trainer session tomorrow

day 2 with the trainer. it felt really good. i did a spin class before the session. i was really tired. i'm gonna do my cardio after the training session from now on. i'm starting to like my trainer. she is really sweet and pushes me to work harder.
