I'll Take That One!

Often clients, new and old, ask which trainer they will be training with, at what time, and when. Many times, clients get "used" to a trainer, and they are afraid or unwilling to try another trainer. Obviously, we want our clients to do what is best for them (even when we think we know what is best :) ), but we do encourage all clients to experience as many of the trainers as possible. Why? Here are a few good reasons:

1. The advantage to working with all of us at BSP is that you can always learn something new and exciting from various teaching styles. You may hear a new cue that will make a specific exercise "make sense". A different trainer may discover something new that you should be working on (i.e. exercises for kyphosis, plantar fasciitis).

2. Working with more trainers will allow more flexibility in scheduling appointments at BSP. Because we all work limited hours, scheduling with same trainer every time might become difficult.

3. Sometimes a specific trainer with a certain background can give you extra insight to achieve your goals. Megan has a great background in body alignment and body pains by working with her husband, who is a Chiropractor, and his business. Natalie has a background in aerobic fitness training and nutrition. Morgan has a background in dance and Lorri in triathlon preparation! What a diverse package!

4. Some clients enjoy a specific type of workout, whether it be challenging, less aggressive, or a hour of stretching. All trainers can meet your needs as long as you are upfront with the trainer, and tell them exactly what you want that day!

5. Let's be honest; you will work harder with a new trainer! Often clients (and trainers) get comfortable with one another. And yes, too much chit chat may take place. Therefore, we encourage everyone to leave their comfort zone and try to diversify!

6. If you are looking to switch to a different BSP trainer, it is best to continue working with your usual trainer, and with the new one to make sure that you will be satisfied with your decision.

In the end, we want all of our clients to be happy and excited to attend their Pilates session. Therefore, we encourage all of you to give us feedback-good and bad! We want to make sure we are doing our jobs, and becoming better trainers on a daily basis!
