Craig Boyd
Director of Trainers, Precision Athletics Inc.
Craig delivered a comprehensive and enjoyable overview of Precision Athletics' various services (Personal Training, Group Fitness Classes, Nutrition Coaching, Corporate Fitness, Fitness Facility Management) and the many ways people can benefit from them. He also discussed a recent Globe & Mail article in which writer Alex Hutchinson addresses the question "Will I get a better workout with a personal trainer?"
The short answer is "yes", and although Craig finds the article generally "on the money", he feels its overall conclusion that personal trainers merely encourage people to push themselves harder and/or lift heavier weights sells Precision's services a bit short.
Craig suggests three key areas in which personal trainers can help their clients achieve optimal results:
1) Accountability - a good trainer will hold you accountable in your session to meet the performance standard you've set in previous workouts as well as motivate you to work out on your own and adopt healthy nutritional choices.
2) Knowledge - A good personal trainer will be able to offer you a more challenging selection of exercises than you might come up with on your own. He'll specifically choose modifications and loading patterns that are in line with your particular goals.
3) Motivation - A good coach can and will motivate you to do your best during the session. Additionally, she'll help you stay motivated by regularly assessing your fitness, setting goals based on those measurements and then re-assessing. To see an example of Precision's testing, check out the Client Experience Blog.
Still unsure if Precision's offerings are right for you? Contact Craig to arrange a free half-hour session with a highly qualified personal trainer or try out a week of group fitness classes, also free! You've got nothing to lose, except maybe a little body fat ... if that's your goal. :-)
