Three Things the Best Personal Trainers have in Common

April 20, 2021

I’ve been in the personal training industry for 18 years, and I have met some pretty impressive personal trainers through different trade shows, industry conventions and virtual events. I’ve had the privilege of meeting personal trainers that have trained some pretty famous celebrities and Olympic athletes, and I’ve even met trainers that have been on reality tv shows.

When I reflect on what all these world-renowned personal trainers have in common, I’ve come up with three traits that, in my humble opinion, all the best trainers in the world share.

They have strong convictions:

The best trainers believe so strongly that nothing is more important than your physical activity and nutrition. They believe what you ate for breakfast or how much you sit on your couch today matters so much more than you are understanding. It’s more than just a “you should do this” type of mentality. It’s an “I would do anything to get you to understand how much this matters” type of passion.

They love to see other people succeed:

Although these highly respected trainers look amazing, they care about way more than their physique. These trainers care as much about the health and fitness levels of their clients as they do themselves. If a client reaches a goal or a milestone, they are just as happy as if they had reached it themselves. Not only with their clients, but with everyone they meet. It’s pretty cool to see people who have a gift of cheering on others in a way that is so sincere.

They are professionals at accountability:

The best personal trainers in the world are so great at not taking excuses from clients. Not in a way that is belittling or judgmental, but in the way their clients need. The clients pay good money for the best trainers because they need to know they will see results. They rely on these trainers to not take their excuses, and these trainers do a fantastic job at it. They keep their clients accountable to the behaviors that will get them results without making them feel discouraged. The accountability is more than getting the clients to do the right behaviors, it’s getting them motivated and wanting to do so.

At Axio Fitness, we genuinely believe we have the best personal trainers in the area. We all work together and strive to be the best we can for our clients. We will prove to you that we care about your goals, we will root you on to success, and hold you accountable in the ways you need.

Beat the Winter Blues

November 11, 2025

Exercise Fights Seasonal Depression: As the days get shorter and the weather gets colder, many people experience a drop in mood, often known as the "winter blues" or, more formally, Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) . A powerful, natural remedy to combat this is regular exercise . The Science Behind the Mood Boost Exercise is much more than just a physical workout; it’s a mental health booster. When you move, your body releases endorphins, natural mood elevators that can instantly alleviate feelings of sadness or anxiety. More importantly for SAD, physical activity helps regulate the production of serotonin and norepinephrine, neurotransmitters crucial for mood stability and happiness. Low levels of these chemicals are often linked to depression. Simple Ways to Get Started You don't need intense workouts. Even a brisk 30-minute walk—especially outside in the morning to maximize sunlight exposure—can make a significant difference. If the weather is truly prohibitive, try indoor options like dancing, yoga, or using home equipment. Consistency is key: make movement a non-negotiable part of your daily routine to stabilize your mood and increase energy, helping you feel more resilient against the seasonal dip. Boost Your Results with Professional Support If finding motivation is a struggle during the colder months, consider working with a personal trainer. This is an excellent way to maintain consistency, as a trainer provides much-needed accountability to keep you showing up. Furthermore, they can design workouts tailored specifically to your fitness goals and current abilities, ensuring you perform exercises properly and efficiently, maximizing the mood-boosting benefits of your routine. If you’re ready to fight the winter blues, Axio Fitness is ready to help. Call us today for more information or to get started.
