Perhaps the most common misconception about hiring personal trainers to improve your health and getting you into Brand Viagra shape is that only the beginners or those who are in very bad shape need to hire personal trainers. Hey, everybody knows how to exercise, isn’t it? Good, then tell me why are most people unsuccessful at getting the body shape they desire and why so many people suffer from gym injuries like backaches, neck pains and stiff shoulders (just to name a few typical gym injuries) without even realizing that their injuries are caused by wrong exercises and incorrect forms?

Going into a gym and figuring out what exercise to do and how to do them can be very intimidating for many people. When you wade into a sea of barbell benches, fanciful exercise and cardio machines, racks and racks of free weights and bodybuilding equipment and at the same time surrounded by muscular hunks, do you really know what to do or how to use the equipment safely and correctly and making the best use out of them? So think about it, hiring a personal trainer need not be in the exclusive domain of beginners or who people who are in bad body shapes.

The professional trainer will emphasize the most efficient workouts that align with your goals and objectives. They will guide you through the most effective exercises that work for you because everyone’s body responds to different stimuli, so you need not go through trial and errors wasting plenty of time and sometimes even sustaining exercise related injuries unknowingly.

I am sure you have seen people reading magazines while on the stationery bike or on the treadmills, haven’t you? Although any exercise is better than no exercise at all, but honestly, do you really think these people can achieve their goals of say, losing weight or getting a sexy well toned body this way?

If this is not pointed out to you, would you know that they are wasting their time and money on gym memberships or are you one of them?

A good trainer can keep you motivated through a structured and individually customized training program and educate you in the nutritional aspect of it to get you results. They will professionally show you how to get the most out of your workouts in the shortest time to meet your objectives safely.

Another myth or misconception is that only the rich and famous can afford to hire personal trainers. This may be true several decades ago but with so many people wanting to get fit and is more educated into improving one’s health and with gyms sprouting up everywhere, this is no longer the case.

There are more and more certification bodies, colleges and institutions training people in sports sciences that there are now many qualified personal trainers in the market charging fees like as if you have just seen your doctor for a common cold. Things are getting very competitive for personal trainers unless they are in the league of celebrity trainers who can command fees that only the rich and famous can afford.

The next misconception and this is a very weird one is that people who become personal trainers are sadists, and they enjoy “torturing” their clients or victims, whichever way you see it, with extra hard workouts. I don’t know where in the notion this myth came about. Personal trainers are just your everyday folks who have a passion for keeping fit and teaching others how to do so for a living.

If you believe in that myth, can you say it in the same breath and with a good conscience that cancer surgeons are also sadists and are waiting to cut people up everyday and if their surgical knives don’t work, they gleefully watch their patients die? That is absurd, isn’t it?

I hope I have shed some light about the misconceptions surrounding fitness personal trainers and showed you the funny side of these myths.
