There are so many advantages to having a female Personal Trainer, whether your aim is to be fit, strong, ripped, toned, to lose weight or just to feel a healthy and more confident you.
We used to think that a woman's place in the gym was in the studio, wearing legwarmers, leotards and teaching aerobics. But that's rubbish! Now we're not only picking up the heavy weights but flooding our social media with a new wave of body positivity. Check out #strongnotskinny , #thisgirlcan and #girlsthatlift if you want to freshen up your instagram.
Stylist magazine reported that more and more women are embracing Strength training now, than ever before. We think it's amazing news.
If you're new to strength training, or any kind of training at all, it can be helpful to have somebody to show you the ropes. Your Personal Trainer should be there to make sure you're exercising safely, with correct technique, to design a plan with you, and to make sure you don't lose heart. Your PT is there to motivate you, to boost your confidence and to make you feel good.
Female fitness instructors - benefits for all.
If you're shopping for a PT, above all else, you'll need to find somebody who makes you feel comfortable. Maybe you need someone who strikes the right balance between pushing you to be your best, and knowing your limits. If you didn't know already, women instructors are just as qualified as men.
A great PT will also be a great listener. Your trainer should be able to put themselves in your shoes, knowing that all bodies are different and all minds are individual. Whoever you are, if you want something different from the "big muscles and no excuses" brand of fitness, you might benefit from having a female Personal Trainer.
Women training women
A women's relationship with their body and their fitness is always complicated. We want to be strong and we want to be something we think of as "feminine." As soon and the sun comes out we get told we need to have a 'bikini body.' It's hard to feel consistently confident when there are so many mixed messages about what women ought to be!
The good news is, you don't have to have all the answers. Chances are, you just need to work with someone sensitive, and who keeps you motivated. That's why you'll want a Personal Trainer who not only knows what you want, but knows how you feel.

Motherhood, Menopause, and the rest...
What's more, a woman's body will go through a multitude of changes as we move through life. If are or have been pregnant, if you're going through the menopause, If you're looking after your pelvic flaw, having hot flushes or if you're just having really bad period pain, having a PT who knows and understands can really help. Why waste your energy worrying when you could use it to train?!
