The New Year is fast approaching meaning that it's time to get serious about your health and the targets you want to set for yourself.

Going it alone has its moments, but to really make an impact of your body and mind Personal Training is by far your best option. Think of it like learning a martial art or how to paint. It is possible to get to an experienced level by yourself using books, magazines and videos to teach you everything you need to know. But think of the time and energy that it would take and how much easier things would be if you had a teacher or a coach.

That is exactly what a Personal Training should be to you: A teacher and a Coach.

Here are our top 5 benefits to Personal Training you need to know:

1. Get where you want to be faster

Ask yourself if you really can wait one or two years before you're where you want to be in your own minds eye. That's realistically how long it could take if you don't have the support and encouragement of a Personal Trainer. However, with the help of a Personal Training you could reach your goals in as little as 3 months. 3 MONTHS!! Just think about what you could do with all that free time you would have made for yourself..

2. Learn new tips and tricks that will last you a lifetime

There is always something to learn in the gym. Some new exercise or small tweak here and there. But who's going to teach you all of them? As a Personal Trainer it's their job to learn the latest and most effective tricks and tips to make your workouts more efficient and fun. "Work smarter, not harder," as they say. What's more, any tricks that learn learn are yours to keep for the rest of your life whether you have a Personal Trainer or not. Remember: Knowledge is power!

3. Overcome obstacles

Working with a Personal Trainer isn't going to be easy. They'll have you working hard and pushing your body to its limits, but the changes you'll see as a reward from this will be fantastic. However that won't change the fact that you'll still have moments when you'll want to find an excuse for not attending your next session or monthly fitness test, because you know it's going to hurt. But your Personal Trainer isn't going to give up on you. Instead they'll provide the constant support and motivation that you need to not quit and to keep going. This will cement itself into your lifestyle, meaning that you'll be able to overcome any challenge put in front of you. Speaking of...

4. Strong mind

It's pointless having a strong body if you don't have a strong mind, and working with a Personal Trainer will test both. Not only will your body become an indestructible wrecking machine but your mind will also develop an inner strength that you might be surprised at. You'll then be able to tackle anything the gym - or life - throws at you!

5. Look good naked!

We had to put it in there because it's true. Working with a Personal Trainer will help you slim down and tone up. To put it quite simply: You'll look good naked and will most likely have men and women falling at your feet.

And all this in as little as 3 months (read point 1 again). Surely it's a no brainer.
