Getting a Personal Trainer (PT) was something that I considered for years. I uhm'ed and ah'ed back and forth trying to push myself to take the plunge. If I'm brutally honest, I didn't think it would be worth the money. But I'll be the first to admit when I'm wrong.
I was wrong.
What I didn't realise is that when you get a personal trainer you're not just paying someone to shout at you and make you do the work. You're investing in a fountain of knowledge.
My PT, Soeli, is a little bit like wonder woman. She can tell when my body is near it's limit, probably better than I do. When I want to give up, she knows I can push further. She knows exactly the right times when I need encouragement. She knows about nutrition that my body needs and what it doesn't. She knows about physiotherapy and how I can recover to benefit me the most.
It isn't just all 'Give me 10 Burpees' - although there is a little bit of that involved.
Now before I started my sessions I did have a little gym gear haul, as basically for the last 5 years this has been the motivation to get me to the gym. New shorts, well I have to go wear them. New leggings, well I guess I better go again.
It's part of the collaboration with gorgeous blogger babe Xenia Overdose where I could have added pretty much everything to my bag and checked out if only my bank account had allowed. Other favourite pieces from the range included this amazing mesh shirt, the level 1 sports bra and the Velvet sports jacket.
While I can't see a huge different in the numbers on the scales after my first 8 PT sessions I can feel the difference when I put my clothes on and in my physical fitness overall. It feels great to know that the hard work both me and Soeli have put in is paying off.
