My virtual personal trainer Jessica with Jessica Mahowa Fitness has been a huge part of my fitness journey and helps me substantially with each of the reasons listed below. Visit the Resources page of my website to learn more about her services and how she can take the guesswork out of creating an effective and sustainable workout routine for you.
Let’s dive in, and I am so happy you are here to be educated, inspired, and connect with other “bold mamas”!
- Personalized Guidance: A fitness trainer can create a workout plan tailored specifically to your goals, schedule, and fitness level. This personalized approach ensures that your efforts are optimized for success, saving you time and energy. They can also help decide what type of fitness environment and equipment is best to meet your goals (ex. Gym or at-home).
When I started working with Jessica, she helped me set myself up for success by starting my fitness routines with equipment I already had access to. She made other purchase recommendations based on equipment that would provide the most value for the price points I was willing to invest in. Check out some of my favorite fitness equipment recommendations to help you get started on your fitness journey with a personal trainer.
- Time Efficiency: Busy mamas often have limited time for exercise. A personal trainer can design efficient workouts and tips that fit seamlessly into your busy schedule, maximizing the benefits you receive in the time you have available.
It is so convenient being told what fitness routine to complete, instead of having to guess on your own and wasting valuable time. When I was first interested in weight training, I went and started looking up different weight training guides in various search engines, but I was so overwhelmed. I am so glad I found Jessica before I began experimenting in fitness routines without her support and knowledge.
- Accountability and Motivation: A personal trainer serves as a source of accountability and motivation. Knowing you have scheduled sessions with a trainer can help you stay committed to your fitness goals, and their encouragement can push you to achieve more than you might on your own.
I would not have completed 140+ weight training workouts over the course of a year without the help of a personal trainer keeping me accountable, checking in on my progress, and providing consistent positive comments and feedback. The financial investment is also a huge motivating factor, because I want to get the most out of my money spent.
- Proper Form and Injury Prevention: Proper form is crucial for effective and safe workouts. A trainer can teach you the correct techniques to prevent injuries and ensure you get the most out of your exercises. Sending videos of your form or having a trainer watch you is so important to make sure you are doing the exercises correctly.
This is especially important for busy mamas who may have limited time for recovery after they give birth. Most of us want to start feeling like “ourselves” again right after we have a baby, but it is so important to follow the correct recovery steps.
Jessica provided me with safe exercises and valuable knowledge that was critical for me to recover my pelvic floor and core. I am now stronger than I was pre-baby, because I followed her advice and didn’t rush the recovery process.
- Goal Achievement: Whether your goal is weight loss, muscle gain, increased energy, or better overall health, a fitness trainer can help you set realistic goals and develop a step-by-step plan to achieve them. Their expertise ensures you stay on track and see progress. Check out the Digital Downloads page of my website for additional helpful resources.
I have completed multiple goals with Jessica‘s assistance. My first goal when I started working with her was to get back into my same size clothing I was pre-baby. I accomplished this goal in a few months. After, I was determined to run a 5k under 30 minutes, and also accomplished this goal with her guidance in less than a year postpartum. Currently, I am working on building my strength as my daughter grows and staying consistent in my fitness routine.
In addition to these 5 reasons why you should hire a personal trainer to help you with your fitness journey, here are a few bonus reasons:
- They may help you accommodate to life changes, busy schedules, and continue help make progress despite other potential challenges.
- They may also make your fitness journey more fun and provide a large amount of variety. I am never bored in my fitness routine thanks to Jessica’s extensive knowledge.
- They may help significantly reduce anxiety, stress, and overwhelm when it comes to your fitness routine and journey. Also, in result of consistent exercise and incorporating a fitness routine into your life, your mental health can be drastically improved.
