What Personal Training means to ME
By Gerry Blais
if someone were to ask......
What does Personal training mean to you? That question has many answers to many people. By “definition”, Personal training would be described as an establishment of an assigned or attained client’s fitness goals and its determined direction to hit goal. That’s obviously significant and justified but to me it’s too "mechanical”. Without getting negative about the subject, as there are alot of bad apples out there, it’s best we focus on some positive things.
What personal training means to ME is defined in one word....”Relationship”.
I feel it is compared to a marriage unity of Trust, faith and loyalty. To engage....to commit to conquer many goals, working through good and bad. To be there to “listen and help the other through challenging times. To enthusiastically join the other during those amazing moments of accomplishment and show great pride in their journey. It’s a bond and a sacrifice to share.
When I get a new client (victim), I tell them I now consider them family and will be there for them 24 hours a day. If they need me, I will be there, regardless of anything. From here on, and beyond(they are stuck with me)I will give my very utmost and will NEVER quit on them.
There is obviously more involved pertaining to workouts and Nutrition as they are the fundamentals of reaching a determined goal but to me...Personal training is “physiological”. The very foundation of it all is Love. A love for the ones you are responsible for and great Love for what you do.
Now that’s fulfillment!
