What Do Personal Trainers Want for You Long Term?
As a personal trainers, do we want you to pay for personal training sessions for the rest of your life and be entirely dependent on 1-to-1 sessions?
No. No, we do not.
At The Strength Studio Nottingham, we prioritize what’s best for you, not just what’s best for us.
Encouraging Independence in the Gym
If we feel that you’re confident enough to go to the gym and complete a prescribed program on your own, then we will suggest you do just that. Under our guidance, you’ll be following a safe and efficient program without needing to pay for 1-to-1 sessions.
When 1-to-1 Personal Training Is Beneficial
That being said, there are situations where 1-to-1 personal training can be incredibly valuable. For example:
- If You’re New to the Gym: Especially if you’ve never done any resistance training before.
- If You’re Nervous About the Gym Environment: Feeling anxious in an open gym setting can hold you back from reaching your fitness goals.
- If You’re Recovering from an Injury: Personalized training can help you rehabilitate safely and effectively.
In these cases, 1-to-1 sessions can help you:
- Familiarize Yourself with Resistance Training: Instead of heading straight for the treadmill.
- Get Comfortable in a Gym Environment: Overcome nervousness or anxiety and build confidence in your workouts.
- Rehabilitate a Previous Injury: Improve your functionality in everyday life by safely performing the right exercises.
A No-Nonsense Approach to Personal Training
We market ourselves as a no-nonsense company. This philosophy carries over from our personal training to our gym, which is designed to be accessible to everyday people who may not feel comfortable signing up for a 12-month contract at a commercial gym with little or no support.
When you’re ready to pursue your health and fitness goals independently—whether at The Strength Studio or elsewhere (we don’t mind where you go!)—you can trust us to support you in that decision.
Our Ultimate Goal: Your Independence
Personal training with us is about LEARNING—not about becoming entirely dependent on us. The ultimate goal is for you to gain the confidence and knowledge to maintain a healthy and, most importantly, happy lifestyle on your own. We provide a place where you can continue what you’ve learned and achieve that goal.
Enjoying 1-to-1 Sessions? We’ve Got You Covered!
If you enjoy regular 1-to-1 sessions, find them challenging, and they contribute to your overall happiness, we will always make time for you in our schedule.
