There is no denying that a personal trainer is essential to achieving your fitness goals, but finding someone that you can trust with your body can be a hassle.
So we’ve been on the lookout ourselves for a personal trainer that keeps it real and we’re happy to say we found the perfect one!
Gilbert “G” Barouki, internationally certified PT and founder of GBaroukiFitness, promises a one of a kind personal training experience as well as online coaching. Here’s why you should train with him:
Yes, that’s a necessary GIF of a dog stretching because you should be right now too! 1. G offers customized workouts that fit your exact needs Some people might be exercising differently because of a certain injury, others might be rebuilding their muscles or improving their mobility, so this is exactly where your experience with G can make a huge difference on your training program as he sets out a fitness routine complementing your physical needs.
2. He helps you set realistic and attainable goals Not only will G help you set realistic goals, but he will also estimate a time-frame in which they can be achieved. We’re tired of dealing with PTs who set impractical goals that don’t comply with a client’s full potential, but this is out of question with G. Because he understands that your mental state severely reflects on your performance, he ensures that you will always be healthy and happy when reaching your little goals one after the other.
3. He radiates motivation and his very own fitness journey is inspiring We all find it difficult to commit to our workout and tend to procrastinate and make promises that we probably won’t keep. But once you have a personal trainer with the upper hand, you will feel obligated to show up to your sessions (you are paying for them after all). But the only thing better than a PT who makes sure you don’t skip leg day, is a PT who inspires you to willingly get up and go to the gym with his very own fitness.
4. He emphasizes time-efficient training There is no time to waste when you’re accompanied with a trainer who will assign you with the right movements and gym machines. So, goodbye to time misspent wondering which machine does what and how to operate it in the first place. With G, the process is simple. Show up, kick ass, take pride in yourself, and leave.
5. He will make you FEEL good about yourself and your body It is not just about the number on the scale, it is about forming a healthier mindset. G believes that feeling good is just as (and slightly more) essential than looking good, so he does his best to help you build a healthy happy relationship with fitness.
6. He makes training look FUN If you happen to follow him on
Instagram, and you should, then you know that G exercises every chance he gets, with any equipment he can find. No gym? No problem. He always finds a way to make training a fun experience that you will most definitely enjoy and would want to repeat.
When he’s not jumping rope, he’s doing jumping squats and jacks in the middle of nowhere. Fun right?
7. He will always push you to your best and switch up your routine With constant alterations in your workouts and plans, exercise will never be monotonous again. Oh, and don’t be surprised if G spontaneously challenges you into a strenuous boot-camp! Remember the key to character building is to constantly push yourself.
P.S: No matter how hard you’re pushing your boundaries, G will always make sure that you’re following a safe training plan that is not too harsh on your muscles, joints or any past injuries you may have.
