This blog post is more on a personal note, but nevertheless, something I’d like to share because I think it speaks volumes about what a Personal Trainer-Client relationship can be. So, if you’ve been dreading your workout sessions with your trainer at the gym… I’d like to enlighten you that there’s actually light at the end of the tunnel. Read on… :-) [click to continue...]

This list is something I’ve come up with, based on my own personal experience, and also observation of what my clients experience. I hope you take the time to read this - ‘cos you just might never be the same again after you do.

Just like how my pet Rottweiler, Troy, simply cannot be separated from his favourite toy…
He goes EVERYWHERE with it – even when I give him his bath or take him out!
So just like Troy, I too, have a few items that I almost cannot do without when I’m at the gym for my workout. Here they are, in no particular order:
Chewing Gum
My Ipod
My Harbinger washable leather workout gloves
And last but not least…
My Watch
Real Personal Trainers wear REAL watches ;), and not just Heart Rate monitors to ‘make up’ for their lack of exercise.
I also carry a bottle of water with me at ALL TIMES (not pictured here).
Don’t get me wrong – it’s not that I wouldn’t be able to carry on with my workout without the above, but I certainly would feel very different and ‘out of place’ if I were to forget any one of them.
Now it’s your turn - what are some of the things YOU just HAVE to bring along with you when you work out? A favourite towel? Your mobile phone? An MP3 player? Do share!
P.S. – And stay tuned for my write-up coming soon – “Things I can’t do without as a Personal Trainer” (would you believe it even includes an eyeliner pencil? Yes you read correctly!) Subscribe to my newsletter to be notified when its up!
