Benefits of a Fitness Coach - part of the women's fitness video series by GeoBeats. I am Marissa Tiamfook with Coach Marissa Fitness. Having a fitness coach will help you, especially with motivation, and experience and knowledge, injury prevention. Lots of the things that, you know, a regular person may not know. Fitness coaches can develop a personal, individualized plan for you and make sure that you do not over-train, because that happens a lot with people, and that is how they get injured, if they do not progress at a very steady and smart way. You know, it is the difference between training smartly and training haphazardly. So having a fitness coach is really about developing a plan specifically for you. Coaches help with keeping people on track, and that is motivation. I mean, think about how many times you plan on getting out the door or going to the gym or going for that run, and then the day gets away from you, you do not actually do it. When you have a coach waiting for you, whom you are paying, you are going to be there, you are going to get those workouts in. So the benefit of having a fitness coach is about someone who is there to help you reach your goals quicker, plain and simple.
