A Personal Trainer is Your Best Investment in a Down Economy!

Times are tough right now for everyone, myself included. We all have to make smart choices with our money today and be sure to get the essentials taken care of before we consider anything else. We don’t eat out as much as we used to, we rent movies instead of going to the theater, and we cut down our trips to Rituals (maybe). It seems to me that a lot of people consider working with a personal trainer a “Luxury” and not something that is money wisely spent in this economy. I would like to argue that it quite the opposite. An investment in your health, is always money well spent. Consider this, you’ve been eager to get back in shape and you know the only way to do it right and stick with it, is with the guidance of a Personal Trainer. Your poor eating habits, stamina, and general fitness are starting to affect your work and you feel like if it gets worse, you might miss time from work or lose your job entirely. How much would it cost you and your family if you lost a weeks pay or more because of health reasons that could be taken care of with a sound exercise and nutrition plan from a Certified Personal Trainer? How much money could you save on Doctor’s visit copays, prescriptions, etc. if you were in great shape? How much better would your overall quality of life be if you were in great shape? Working with a Certified Personal Trainer doesn’t have to drain your bank account. There’s more options than just one on one training. You can cut the cost of training by doing Semi Private personal training with a small group of 4-6 people with similar goals. How about an online training program designed by a Certified Personal Trainer?

I’m sure if you think about it, you can find some things that you are spending money on that would not benefit you as much as your health. Do you stop at the donut shop every morning for breakfast and coffee? How about those weekly manicures? Maybe you’re paying a monthly fee at a large chain gym that you went to maybe twice a week when you first signed up, but haven’t been for months now and you just keep paying them. Cutting out one or more things like this, will cover the cost of a Personal Training program. The bottom line is that your health is not a “Luxury” expense, it is the most important investment you can make in you and your family’s life. There are many different affordable options available from personal trainers today, so do some research to find what programs would work for you.
