Let's all be completely honest with each other about how much we all hate going to the gym. The gym smells, there's always that one guy who looks and sounds like he's lifting a house, and then the people like me who have no idea what they're doing. Oh, this machine is for your abs? Really? Honestly, it's embarrassing to be somewhere that you feel completely out of place at. There are some helpful people at the gym but lets face it, more people are staring at you waiting for you to mess up so they can post it to Facebook. Not my thing.
When it was suggested to me that I should see a personal trainer to show me what the heck I'm supposed to be doing, I was very skeptical. I was pretty sure I was a hopeless case and didn't want to be laughed at.
That's when I started going to train with Cam. I have been training with him for 4-5 months and I love it. Well.. love is a strong word when I'm so sore that I can't even walk right the next day but you see my point. Cam is incredibly helpful when it comes to form. I would have broken my back by now if it weren't for his training. He is just as respectful as he is helpful. A giant guy like Cam can be super intimidating but he makes sure that you feel comfortable, welcome, and then kicks your ass. He even has a TV so that you can keep your kids occupied while you sweat.
Cam is a very skilled trainer. I mean, I was a helpless little person when I walked in there. If he can work with me then he can work with anyone. He continues to work with me and push me to limits that I had no idea I could go to. If that's not a great trainer then I have no idea what is. He uses exercises that I have never heard of to work muscles I didn't know I had. He's completely encouraging which is nice when you have been down on yourself for so long like I was.
Seriously, if you're even considering a personal trainer, give this guy a call. read more
