We’ve been working very hard on finishing up the website, and eventually I had to write some content that dealt with the results that can be achieved through personal training, or being prescribed a workout plan / nutrition plan. When it comes down to it, I had to admit that I can’t guarantee anyone results.
The truth is, any trainer that “guarantees” success is doing something wrong.
How can you say that!?
Here’s what I ended up writing, and it is definitely true: “Understand that results are not guaranteed– All goals achieved are the product of four things: A solid plan, a committed trainee, dedication, and self control. I am only providing you with the first item– You have to bring the rest.”
You must have a solid plan in place based around tried and true principles, which is what I’m here for. On top of that, you have to be committed to your goals– Make S.M.A.R.T. goals (Specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, timely) and commit to them. You must be dedicated to your success. More than anything, though, you must have self control.
Can you say I’m wrong? As a trainer, I’m not the one cooking your meals. As a trainer, I’m not the one whose goals are on the line. As a trainer, I’m not there to remind you about your calories and macros. As a trainer, I can’t guarantee you’ll do everything I recommend.
Can you be my “Personal Nanny”?
When it comes down to it, I’m your personal trainer. I’m in charge of creating a solid plan, and taking all of the guess work out of your training and nutrition. If you come to the table committed, dedicated, and willing to exert self control, we can achieve anything together.
