Life Time personal trainers have a wealth of health and fitness knowledge, but their expertise usually comes at a cost. Here are a few questions that you can ask a trainer for a total of zero dollars :) Just visit the trainer’s desk any time to get answers to burning questions. And for inspiration, try the ones below:
How in the world does that machine work?
We have all looked at a fitness machine before and thought “how do I even get into that contraption?” A trainer would gladly demonstrate the use of any machine for you.
What do you eat for breakfast?
Who better to get breakfast ideas from than someone who helps people build stronger, healthier bodies all day?! Ask them about an amazing protein smoothie or their favorite omelet recipe. You could end up replacing that boring granola bar breakfast you have on the way to work!
All my coworkers wear those trendy activity trackers. Do they just look cool or could one really do something for me?
Wearing an activity tracker certainly makes you look like you work out, but there are lots of benefits beyond appearance. Every Life Time club offers a wide variety of activity trackers to assist you in reaching fitness goals — from counting steps to heart rate training to tracking your exercises. Ask a trainer which activity tracker is best for your goals and healthy way of life.
What’s the deal with protein powder?
Fitness secret: your body needs protein to support a healthy metabolism and to build muscle. Life Time has an amazing line-up of health-supporting supplements, including protein powders, to assist you on your path to fitness success. Those smiling individuals behind the trainer’s desk can provide detailed information to consider around which supplements might be right for you.
My hips are tight. What can I do to fix this?
Stretching and foam-rolling is essential to keeping your body in tip top shape, especially if you sit or stand in the same position for much of the day. All Life Time trainers are nationally certified to provide proper stretching and strengthening movements for your body.
I know how much I weigh but everyone says it’s not about the number on the scale, so what should I pay attention to?
Your body fat percentage is a far better indicator of health than weight because muscle weighs more than fat. A Life Time fitness pro can help you find out your body composition in order to better understand how to take your health to the next level.
I have LT BUCK$ in my account. Can I use those for training?
For sure! A trainer would gladly find a time to meet with you for a session to utilize your LT BUCK$ before they expire. If you have particular fitness interests let your trainer know, so they can best prepare for your session. Warning: you may discover awesome new things on the fitness floor.
Does my form look good?
Maybe it’s the first time you’ve ever used a piece of equipment, or maybe your alignment just feels funky — either way, you just want to double-check your form. Ask a trainer for quick tips on how to better your form and you’ll approach the squat rack with mad confidence.
I just joined Life Time and have this thing called a Move It Session scheduled. What will I be doing?
Don’t fear, a trainer won’t make you do box jumps your first time on the fitness floor. This is a complimentary session for you to meet with a trainer to get more comfortable with the equipment, talk about health goals, and lay out a personalized plan to reach them.
Can I try out a trainer for free?
This is an article on free offerings after all, so the answer is yes! Workout Workshops are an excellent way to try out different trainers and formats of exercise. You could learn all about a new type of exercise to help you blast through that plateau and meet a new trainer!
