Personal trainers in Manchester: find your fitness instructor!

According to the Active Lives Adult Survey Report, released on March 22, 2018 by Sport England, 25.7% of adults aged 16 and older in England do less than 30 minutes of physical activity a week.

However, about 6 in 10 adults are getting the appropriate health benefits from exercising for at least 150 minutes a week. Among these, the most common activities practiced (at least twice in the last month) were walking for leisure and/or travel (67% and 52%, respectively) and fitness activities (48%).

So there you have it, current trends that come out in favour of the personal training sector, since, in order to exercise well, it’s always better to be coached.

First of all, to avoid getting hurt, by properly stretching to limit the impact of sore muscles and, on the other hand, to constantly advance your physical level (i.e. continuing to motivate yourself after each sports session).

You live in Manchester and its surrounding region and you’re part of the 26% of the population that needs to boost their weekly activity level in order to get or stay in shape?

It’s true that, on top of getting you in shape, exercising allows you to improve your physical condition, show off a flat stomach and rock-hard abs and glutes and, cherry on the cake, be more self-confident.

Superprof sees a quick fix to serve your well-being: at-home personal training. Having a fitness coach come directly to your home makes it possible for you to train like a high-level athlete.

Here’s all you need to know about personal training in the Greater Manchester area.

The qualities and benefits of having a personal trainer in Manchester

Having an online personal trainer offers multiple advantages. Notwithstanding the opportunities for development and the fast results, a custom-made programme will allow trainees to reach their goals even faster than at the gym.

The benefits of exercising in Manchester

There are many benefits to be gained from regular and repeated exercise.

It is now scientifically proven that physical exercise (e.g. power walking, hiking, ab exercises, muscle strengthening, etc.) can limit the onset of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Your personal trainer will make sure to target the exercises that are best suited for your situation.

Muscle relaxation, via flexing or long strides, for example, releases what we call happiness hormones.

These hormones are actually called endorphin and serotonin, which are secreted by the human body to replace burned calories by muscle mass.

That’s why they say that exercise can help you lose weight.

Physical exercise also stimulates your internal organs, reducing blood pressure and lowering your heart rate.

Additionally, physical exertion will favour the entry of glucose into muscle, reducing blood sugar levels and therefore limiting the onset risk of type 2 diabetes.

There is thus a strong correlation between exercise and health.

Besides helping to prevent chronic diseases, exercise can improve athletic performance and endurance.

Muscle toning helps sculpt your body and pushes you beyond your limits.

To sum up, exercising (such as running in Heaton park, lifting weights or attending a body pump class at the gym) or working out with your personal trainer at home are self-sustaining catalysts of positive vibes.

By taking care of yourself with your fitness coach’s personal training programme, you’ll remove stress, build muscle mass and boost your self-esteem.

There is obviously no need to take up body-building with your fitness coach, to imitate the typical movie cliché of the personal trainer displaying his muscles in all their glory.

Having a personal trainer is more about getting a little help from a professional to track your fitness activity for your own physical well-being.

In order to really feel better, however, you need to find a super coach…

The qualities we expect of a personal trainer

Personal trainers are multitaskers, who should be masters of their trade (obviously), but who should also be fluent in nutrition, psychology, and relaxation therapy.

On top of all that, they must have some notions in human anatomy, muscle groups, and biology.

The conditioning programme they build for their clients will be up to par only if the personal trainer meets all of the following requirements:

 

• Knowing how to motivate and cheer up clients 
• Being able to adapt to different personalities and situations 
• Being unfazed by clients’ mood swings 
• Being dynamic, cheerful, and having a sunny disposition 
• Not judging clients 
• Involving clients in the personalised follow-up 
• Knowing how to handle a readjustment of the initial training program if a client changes their mind (working on pecs instead of legs, switching to kickboxing when they had started with aerobics, to stationary bike when they had started with skipping rope, etc.) 
• Being a good teacher by being patient, presentable and punctual 
• Staying up to date of the latest scientific research (for diet and weight loss coaching)

If you choose to hire a fitness coach because you want to bulk up, for example, you will definitely appreciate it if your personal training lesson in Manchester taught you how best to lift weights and what movements to try to avoid hurting your joints.

What to do with you personal trainer in Manchester?

From Wigan to Oldham, online personal training will help you get back on track to getting in shape and will allow you to practice a solo routine for when your fitness instructor will no longer be there.

Toning exercises or yoga in the morning, stretching exercises before you head to bed in the evening, and some walking during the day will certainly increase your physical capabilities, without making you feel like you’re putting in a huge effort.

These and more will help you tone your muscles and repeat your fitness sessions daily.

But what is it that actually happens during these individual sessions?

It all depends on each person’s wants and needs, body type and situation. However, our sports coaches’ range of services often include the same elements that you may find at any fitness centre, namely:

 

• Cardio training 
• Zumba
• Stretching 
• Kickboxing and self defense 
• Pilates 
• CrossFit 
• Body-building and cardio-training 
• Exercises to strengthen the stomach area, pecs, biceps and triceps, etc.

The big advantage here is that you no longer have to attend those sweaty group classes at the gym.

When you do these classes at home, all you have to do is move from the living room to the bedroom, and from the bedroom into the living room! Plus, being in the comfort of your own home will make you feel more comfortable, making the workout more effective.

If you are overweight or obese, and your main objective is to lose weight, one of our 8 personal fitness coaches in the Greater Manchester area will know exactly how to create the best training and slimming programme for you.

Gentle gym, low intensity exercises to tighten your skin (get ready to say goodbye to combat sports), and nutritional advice will all be included in your weight loss programme.

If, instead, you’d like to become a professional coach yourself, why not? In that case, your  fitness instructor will whip up a more intensive training program for you.

If you’re expecting a baby, specialised coaching for pregnant women is also in full development.

Pregnancy uses up a lot of body energy and can make you feel exhausted.

In this case, your personal trainer can develop a personalised programme with plenty of breathing and muscular exercises to help you regain your physical form.

This is meant to prepare your body to facilitate the rest of your pregnancy and childbirth. And, if you were wondering how to lose the baby weight, look no further. Get on the Superprof Manchester platform and choose your personal trainer today!
