Losing Weight With a Personal Trainer: What Is Realistic

A personal trainer helps you lose weight by making your training regular and progressive. That is one part of the result. What you eat, how you sleep and how much you move outside the sessions decide the rest. Nobody can honestly promise you a number by a date.

What does training contribute to weight loss?
A structured program supports fat loss by combining resistance training with conditioning and steady progression. In a coached session, someone watches your technique, sets the effort and changes the plan as you improve. The goal is to lose fat without losing strength.
How fast should I expect results?
Early progress varies from one person to the next. It depends on your current capacity, relevant limitations and recovery. A four-week transformation is not promised. What a coach can give you is a plan, a straight answer when you ask how it is going and a change of plan when your week falls apart.
How often should I train?
Start with how often you can realistically train and how long you can keep it up. A schedule you can keep for months matters more than a hard first month. Theo Marcopoulos plans the frequency with you around work, travel and family.

Does nutrition come with the coaching?
Written nutrition guidance and a supplement plan are included with the 5-, 12- and 24-session packages. The supplement plan covers how to take the supplements you have chosen. This is fitness coaching, not medical care. Discuss medication, clinical dietary needs or supplement suitability with an appropriately qualified professional.
When should I speak to a doctor first?
Seek healthcare guidance when appropriate before resuming exercise, in particular after a long break, an injury or a change in your health. Tell Theo about any relevant limitation so he can plan an appropriate starting point.
How does Theo work on body composition?
Strength and body composition are central to Theo’s private coaching in Miami Beach. Each 60-minute session is coached personally at your home, condo gym or hotel. Explore private training or see the rates.
