Health and Wellness Coaching vs. Personal Training

When looking to make changes in your well-being, you have many options. You might have found yourself at your annual physical with a less than stellar health report. Maybe you gained 15 lbs since last year, had an increase in blood pressure, or becoming pre-diabetic. Your primary care professional may tell you to lose weight and alter your diet, and give you a few resources but many times just leave it to you to figure things out. This all sounds easy in theory; eat less, move more and you should be good, right? Many try to tackle this journey solo and after a few strong weeks, find themselves failing and losing motivation.

If this is the case, you may need to re-evaluate your goals and be willing to seek professional assistance. We could all benefit from it. At MG Lifestyle Solutions, we tackle your goals in a holistic manner. Providing health and wellness coaching goes beyond sets and reps at the cable machine. Traditionally speaking, your globo-gym personal trainers might give you a spot, demonstrate technique with some gym equipment and count your reps and sets. To get optimal results, health and wellness coaches take things to the next level: setting specific goals, understanding individual needs, mental barriers, personal factors, and other life stress that can limit progress and change.

Before signing up for a gym this new year, evaluate what has worked in the past and what has not.. Is it time for something new? Do you need a little extra help this year? Do you need a health and wellness coach or just a personal trainer to spot and count your reps? Better yet, if you are not sure what you need, take advantage of our free consultation and we can help you determine your needs.

The new year is right around the corner, but there's no reason to wait. Act today!
