Why One on One Works!
Written by Angelo Songco | Owner of A24 Fit
Compared to your traditional gym experience, there are numerous benefits to one on one personal training. However, the two biggest hurdles that can talk gym- goers out of personal training are the cost and the general mindset that you don’t need the help. The cost of a gym membership may be less expensive than personal training because you have the freedom to come and go as you please and you can do any exercise you want, any way you want and at your own pace. But what is the cost if you don’t see results or potentially get injured because you’re doing an exercise without the correct form?

Many people give up on the gym because it’s too hard, they don’t have time, they’re not seeing results, or (my personal favorite) they just don’t know where to start. When you start to weigh the pros and cons of personal training, you’ll start to see where the benefits are of one on one training especially if you’re new to the gym game and are looking for results faster!
It’s okay to open yourself up to the vulnerability of change and ask for help. With challenge comes change. If you truly want to lose the weight or get stronger, you will do what it takes. Whether that is adjusting your nutrition or finding consistency in the gym with a set plan and hard work. For example, say you wanted a new car but can’t afford it. What are you going to do? Do you sit back on your heels and wish or do the work and save money so you can buy a new car? The choice is yours. One on one training gives you the opportunity to do the work, set and achieve fitness goals, motivate you, and challenge you to be the best version of yourself.
As a trainer, I strive to give my clients inspiration, motivation, and reassurance that you can do this! It’s important to not just challenge your body but also challenge your growth mindset as well. The question you have to ask yourself, are you willing to be challenged and accept it? What are you going to do when the last couple of reps are heavy and tough?
The easiest thing to do in training or in life is to quit. It’s easy to curl five pounds and do ten pound reps. But are you willing to reach for the change by upping it to fifteen pounds. One on one training can show you that you can be fit, you can be stronger, but it comes with hard work and dedication.
I pride myself on showing my clients how strong they are and they walk out of my gym knowing they got a little better not only physically but mentally as well. My goal as a trainer is to walk out of every session knowing you gave it everything you had that day and that you know I am here to support you.
Life is crazy and there are days where you may not be 100%. It’s understandable. I ask my clients to give me 100% of whatever they have that day and we’ll fight through the struggles together and you’ll leave stronger than you came in. I am here for your journey and beyond. Let’s get to work!!
