Can I see good results without a personal trainer?

[Reemaa]

I’m starting to be more healthy, decided to go to the gym, build muscle and lose weight.
However, I don’t have enough money to hire a personal trainer. So i just watch videos on m YouTube and try to copy and learn how to do the exercises properly. But i am anxious that i may not doing them correctly or missing something, will i see good results and build great amount of muscle without personal trainer?

As long as you're watching videos on posture and form, I bet you can do okay without a trainer. Just don't want to hurt yourself.

Sure, you just need to stay focused.

You don't need a personal trainer on every your visit in the gym. Would be nice to have session with personal trainer every few months. So you start trainings and personal trainer set a routine for you and shows how safely do the repetitions on the machines. After 2 or 3 months you meet again and the personal trainer evaluates the progress and adjusts the routine to it.

AFAIK a lot of gyms hire such person. So you can ask in your.

You can also find a lot of routines in YouTube. But then ask the gym employee to show you the way of safe using the machines you will do your exercises on.

Yes absolutely. Getting fit is 100% personal motivation. Only fools pay for personal trainers. There are enough YouTube videos out there to show you how to do every exercise under the sun properly.

Personal trainers are for pussies. You’ll smash it, trust me.

Thank you 🩵🩵

You don’t need a personal trainer to get in shape, you just need a good routine that works the whole bod.

People who pay for a PT usually get better results than they would alone mainly because those people lack the motivation/discipline to do it by themselves, the PT just helps with motivation.

Of course.. People do it all the time.. Just find some good recipes online, or get a cookbook.. Get an app with workout plans and programs, maybe sometimes ask people at the gym if you are doing a certain thing right, and you'll be set.. Go light on everything so that you can get used to it and not hurt yourself..

I think it would be safer to get someone to guide you... and this, to prevent injuries

YouTube could be a great source though... if you find the right channel for it

but yes... bad posture and heavier weights, these can become very expensive when injured

Of course! I actually saw more improvements when I started training alone without a personal trainer. Just make sure you are consistent, maintain good form at all times, go slow to maximize range of motion and stick to a routine that you enjoy. Also, wear cute outfits to work out (it helps I swear lol)

[HawkPerception]

You absolutely can. You do not need a trainer. A trainer is just someone that helps to hold you accountable and knows how to get your results. But there's plenty of info on the internet to find good workout routines and diet plans for whatever your fitness goals are. As long as you hold yourself accountable, you should be able to get the results you desire.

Sigmund Freud said that the ONLY reason psychotherapy works, is because you have to pay.

If you can't work out at home, you will need to pay. lol

[pascal_climbs]

Yes, just look for a program that fits your needs (fit level, muscle growth, toned body, ...)

[abc3643]

Use a personal trainer at first to train yourself, then, after a bit, you can go on your own being your own personal trainer. This is what my wife does.

[Nice222]

Yes you certainly can. There is plenty of “how to videos” and advice online that can help you achieve your goals. Some people need a little more external motivation to meet their goals. But if you are the self driven type. You can do it on your own. Good luck.

[Ironic_Method]

You really don't need a trainer. Many machines at the gym are almost foolproof and generally have a QR code you can scan to see a video of it. Eat healthy and gym 2-3x a week and anyone will be in good shape.

If you go to a gym ask for help getting starting and then work on your own. All the gyms I've been at have staff that are willing to assist and answer questions without having to pay extra.

Get a PT for about six months. Having someone make sure you are using good form while performing the movement correctly is invaluable and could save you a trip to the hospital.

YOU CAN DEFINITELY SEE RESULTS WITHOUT PERSONAL TRAINERS

[OddBeMe]

Seems like everything free online. I did do a trainer and he had me do mat work like 90% of the time. Funny that millions of dollars of equipment and I was doing burpees in the corner.

[KittygosMeoWW]

You can but you will have to keep your muscles confused and not stick to one simple routine.

[Twalli]

You can, but I think you can have a few meetings with one just to come up with a workout plan.

[Luckycharms12]

Ya easy most people don't have one
