Some time ago we wrote about two of our members, Emily and Lisella, who began their journey in the gym under the guidance of a personal trainer. In the previous post<\/a>, we covered how the girls’ workouts with the trainer went, but that was just the beginning of the process. After training together, MyFitness personal trainer Vird\u017einja Nargla<\/a> put together a plan for independent training for the girls. Let’s ask them how things are going with independent training and how the trainer evaluates the whole process?
\n\"\"<\/p>\n

How has the independent training period gone?<\/h2>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been going to the gym without a trainer for a month now, and you can say that I already feel quite at home.<\/strong>. The first 1-2 times I felt a little insecure. I was used to someone watching from the side and helping if necessary. This opinion quickly changed, and now I feel great,\u201d Lisella explains in more detail.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I feel a lot more confident in the gym, many of the machines are more familiar and you know what to look for when exercising.\u201d Emily<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emily adds: \u201cThe first time I trained on my own, I was a little lost. I had questions about the difficulties of this or that machine or where you can change the equipment. I was already used to Vird\u017einja helping to prepare everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What helped you stick with your workouts?<\/h2>\n

Based on the girls\u2019 goals, the trainer prepared a plan to guide independent training. \u201cBefore I sent Lisella and Emily to the gym with the plan, we discussed it together<\/strong> and went through a full round of Q&A. I also gave them some room to play with a plan in case any machines were occupied or they accidentally visited the gym during the busiest time of the day. That way you won\u2019t have to stand idle and you\u2019ll be able to avoid a situation where it\u2019s unclear what to do next,\u201d said trainer Vird\u017einja.<\/p>\n

\u201cI love that I can just open the plan and start working out at my own pace. From time to time, Emily and I can compare notes and joke, and motivate each other so that neither of us gives up. It\u2019s a great motivator when the trainer isn\u2019t around,\u201d Lisella shares.<\/p>\n

What did the process look like from the outside?<\/h2>\n

\u201cFrom time to time, girls still send me photos in our chat about how they train and what their emotions are. It’s great! This way I can constantly guide them and adjust the training load if necessary. Plus, this way they still stay connected and get quick answers to any questions they might have. The girls did a good job with their independent training!\u201d \u2013 trainer Vird\u017einja summed up.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the magic of strength training\u2013the consistent steps that will keep you fit and healthy ten or twenty years from now. The fact that energy levels and body image change along with this is another big plus. In addition to taking care of your well-being!\u201d \u2013 trainer Vird\u017einja<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to training, independence in the gym is just as important as joint training \u2013 this means that the clients can follow a given plan on their own and, if necessary, seek help to improve the nuances. Depending on the goals and success of the client, it is necessary to make changes to the training plan or methodology even during independent training. Ideally, the interval could be changed every month or two depending on the level of training as the body gets used to and adapts to the workout load. This is how we can ensure consistent development and success in training.<\/strong> This is also the basis for what should be given even more conscious attention in the future,\u201d added trainer Vird\u017einja.<\/p>\n
