Financial services or Mr. Olympia?
My clients are not body builders. My clients are normal every day business people who work long hours, usually behind a desk, almost assuredly on a computer, for long stretches. They are family people with kids, spouses and homes. Giant, bulging, venous muscles aren't of benefit to them. No one is going to see how ripped their thigh muscles are through an Armani business suit. Boulder-like shoulder muscles aren't going to benefit them when they're out on Sunday playing a round of golf. My clients need useful, functional fitness and through personal training and Gyrotonic, that is exactly what they'll get.

Everyone can curl a dumbbell. No need to hire a trainer to do that. But now that you've mastered that, what next? How does curling a dumbbell benefit your posture so your long hours in meetings and on the phone don't cause a toll on your back or neck?

Every day when I'm at the gym, I see people working out on their own who do essentially the same thing every time they come in. For the most part, if a person has been exercising for a long time without the guidance of an expert, they'll get into and stay in a routine of comfort. Because people in the financial field, lawyers, college professors etc. aren't experts in the fitness field, they don't understand they holes in their training routine that are keeping them from optimal health.

Using a personal trainer isn't just about having someone count your reps or keep track of the weight When I'm training a client, we're working through a systematic progression of training modes ensuring all of the functional systems of your body will be worked in a balanced manner. It isn't just about stronger or bigger muscles, there is also posture, balance, the stability of your joints, the strength of your core, your ability to generate power and one of my favorites, learning to breathe correctly. Not only will all of these things help you feel and perform at your best but it keeps your workout from getting stale and boring.
