PERSONAL TRAINING MYTH 1: Personal Training is only for rich and not for common people

This is one of the most commonly heard personal training myths. This is because, when we think about the term personal training, we always picture a celebrity or famous person working out with a personal trainer in exclusive gyms. But in reality, personal training can be customised and tailored to suit people with different budgets and lifestyles. There are options such as buddy personal training and private group personal training programs which people can opt for. These options are cost-effective and at the same time, you get to receive what a person who has signed up for a 1-1 personal training program gets. 

At Athleaders, we understand that different clients come with different lifestyles and budgets. That is why we offer a buddy personal training program as well as a private group personal training program. In this program, you will get a dedicated personal trainer to train you. The personal trainer will assess each fitness level in the group and tailor a workout which is common for all members.

PERSONAL TRAINING MYTH 2: Personal Trainers are Just for Fitness Enthusiasts

Do only fitness enthusiasts need personal trainers? Do you think and feel this? Then you are wrong! Whatever your fitness level, you need a personal trainer. The reason is that a personal trainer will help you by providing proper guidance, and motivation and also makes you feel accountable. With a personal trainer’s guidance, the ability to reach your fitness goals is much faster. Whatever your fitness goals – weight loss, fat loss, strength etc, the help of a personal trainer greatly benefits.

At Athleaders, we offer the best certified fitness trainers in Singapore who will come to your preferred location (home, condo-gym, or outdoors) to help you with workouts. Also, our trainers will craft not just any generic workout plan that you get in random gyms. Our fitness trainers will analyse your individual body fitness levels and tailor a workout plan. Also, when you sign up for the Athleaders personal training program, you get a whole team working to achieve your fitness goals. You will have a dedicated personal trainer, a clinical dietitian who crafts a customised diet plan for you and a relationship manager to track your progress.

Read one of Athleaders client’s testimonials I’ve had a truly transformative experience with Athleaders over the past one month and the results were amazing as I managed to lose almost 5 kg in 1 month.

With the help of my [personal trainer], I’ve improved tremendously—from initially struggling with 10 squats to comfortably completing 15 reps in a set. My endurance and mobility have increased and my form has really come a long way since our first session.

[Athleaders nutritionist] has been equally impactful, creating a personalised IBS plan that has reduced my symptoms. Her portion guidance, daily meal reviews, and consistent motivation have been essential to my progress, helping me achieve healthy weight loss without restriction.

I’m grateful for the expertise and support of the Athleaders team. Their holistic approach is the key to the success of the programme. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a tailored, caring fitness experience.”

PERSONAL TRAINING MYTH 3: Personal Training is all about Weight loss

A common misconception is that you need a personal trainer only when your goal is to lose weight. Your fitness goal can be anything – fat loss, building strength, toning up etc, you can opt for a personal trainer. Weight loss is one of the common fitness goal, but personal trainers can help you improve your overall fitness levels. Physical health improvements aid in elevating your mental health as well.

At Athleaders, we have personal trainers specialising in a wide range of fitness – body recomposition, yoga, pilates, strength training, callisthenics etc. You name it and we will send personal trainers directly to your location.

PERSONAL TRAINING MYTH 4: Personal Trainers approach are One-Size-Fits-All

One of the reasons some people refrain from opting for a personal trainer is the fear of being pushed into generic workout patterns. Certified trainers like the ones that Athleaders have do not follow a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, personal trainers assess the client’s physical fitness levels, and their past health conditions, and tailor a personalised workout plan. Each client has different fitness levels and goals, so we understand how to deliver the one that best suits the respective individuals. 

PERSONAL TRAINING MYTH 5: Personal Trainers push you beyond limits

No personal trainers will ever push you to go off your limits. A personal trainer knows what you are capable of doing and to what extent your body can be challenged to do workouts. Keeping this in mind, personal trainers will challenge you with workouts. Generally what most personal trainers do is motivate and encourage you to improve your fitness goals safely and efficiently.

At Athleaders, we believe in delivering client-focused service. Our personal trainers motivate and make you feel accountable. Your safety and comfort are what Athleaders top priorities are!
