I
have seen a very interesting phenomenon whilst coaching clients. I
have had clients start with me who are almost identical in body
composition, physical ability and goals, and both agree to the same
frequency of personal training sessions. In the months that follow,
one client has dropped 10% bodyfat, inches from their waistline, and
has achieved a double bodyweight deadlift. The other hasn't changed
body composition or size at all, and still cannot perform a single
bodyweight deadlift. These are real clients, not just illustrative
examples.
Why
does one person achieve such outstanding results, and the other not?
Quite
simply...
Person
A applies themselves whole-heartedly during their sessions, ensures
they do the homework activities set for them outside of their PT
sessions, and they follow the nutritional advise without deviation.
Person
B never puts any effort into their sessions, never ventures outside of their comfort zone, never does any exercise apart from their PT sessions, and quite
obviously continues to eat and drink as they always have.
You
can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.
A
personal trainer is not a magician. They will design effective
programs for you, provide technical & motivational coaching, give
you nutritional advice, etc... but if you do not apply yourself or
follow the advice, no personal trainer in the world will ever be able
to help you.
