Choosing a personal training instructor was a decision I made after having an injury on my leg……funny enough the injury was not fitness related and not really serious – yet impacted on my training.  Should I want it I had a ready-made excuse to cut back on my regime.  The pain was quite intense and I’d been told to rest. It was weird though.  Being told to rest made me want to move about more.  The more my leg ached..the more I wanted it to get it fixed quickly and get back training. I wanted to build back its strength and not go backwards after all my hard work.
So I got myself a trainer – Dan Huntingdon to help me with this.  The moment I spoke to Dan I knew he got it straight away.  Training with him was hard and fun all at the same time.  He got me doing small things at first and seemed to get where I was at.  I found this really helpful – not only as I’d hurt my leg, but also because after training for a while I wanted  to get a view on how I was doing.  Dan’s matter of fact style really worked for me.  Not easy to take sometimes – but I gained a lot from him.  As my injury and the pain started to subside I knew that this was something that I wanted to continue with and I did.  Having a trainer run alongside you – makes you up your game for sure.  Having new ways of approaching your training and getting the results is pretty addictive.  Even if you only want to hire their help for certain times….maybe an upcoming marathon…or if you’ve got a little bored…or maybe an injury….I think it’s really worth it.  Dan Huntingdon you are a inspiration and really helped me get over something fast that could possibly have put me back to square one again.
