A good personal trainer will give you all the motivation you cannot muster yourself, says Pratika Yashaswi.
So, you’ve had it with yourself. You’ve skipped gym for the 800th time and the prospect of a 5am trek to yoga class has made you go back to sleep way too often. Exercising off your multiple fitness apps doesn’t really work either because Silent Mode. What you need is some tough love and something you can’t just turn off when you’re not feeling like it— what you need is a personal trainer.
But aren’t personal trainers more the stuff of celebrity Instagram videos than a lazy 20-something’s extravagance? Nope. Celebrity trainer Radhika Karle of Radhika’s Balanced Body (022 2613 8589) says that there has been a spike in the number of people signing up for personal trainers in the last five years—and the demographic is getting younger. “We’re seeing a huge surge of men and women in their early twenties and thirties seeking personal attention, becoming more aware of their bodies or being referred by their physiotherapists.”
Make-up artist Elton Fernandez loathes gyms, and knew he’d never get round to shaping up on his own, so he decided to hire a trainer. After going through a couple of less-than-satisfactory partnerships, he found his answer in Rakesh Borkar (0 98337 54625). “I can’t do anything without someone standing over my head,” Fernandez says. “I’m also a major whiner, but he knows exactly how to push me. He makes me feel like I need to do it.”
