I was nervous whilst walking into my first personal training session, but I quickly realised that everyone doing personal training is there for their own reasons. For some, it’s about building confidence in how they look, while for others, it’s about improving their mental well being. For me, it was both.
It’s common to feel nervous about starting personal training or even just going to the gym. Many people feel self conscious, worrying about being judged by others. However, it’s important to remember that most people at the gym are there to work on their own goals.
My personal trainer was incredibly supportive and put me at ease from the start. They encouraged me to share which exercises I enjoyed and which I didn’t, making me feel comfortable in shaping my workout. We decided on a circuit training approach, focusing on exercises I like so that each session feels motivating rather than a chore.
Although I could do these exercises on my own, having a trainer there to push me made a real difference. That extra encouragement helped me achieve more than I would have done alone, without, it I doubt I would have completed half the workout!
This first experience has left me feeling better about my fitness journey. With the support and motivation from my trainer, I know I’ll be able to challenge myself and see real results, both physically and mentally.
