Personal Training FAQs and Myths Answered

Top 10 Personal Training FAQs Answered for Adults in East Brunswick

Have questions—or even doubts—about personal training?
You’re not alone. At ELITE Fitness Alliance, we specialize in coaching adults over 40 in East Brunswick who are ready to get stronger, move better, and feel more confident—without the confusion or intimidation of big gyms.

We’ve compiled the 10 most common questions and myths we hear—and the honest answers you deserve:

1. Do I need to be fit before I start training?

No. Most of our members are starting after years of inactivity, pain, or confusion. Our programs help you build a strong foundation and move forward with confidence, regardless of where you begin.

2. What makes ELITE Fitness Alliance different from a regular gym?

We offer private and semi-private coaching with:

• Tailored programs

• Expert instruction

• A community of like-minded adults
  This isn’t a “do-it-yourself” gym—it’s a fully guided experience. Learn more.

3. How do you personalize the workouts for me?

Every member starts with a Movement Assessment and Goal Session. Your plan considers your injuries, lifestyle, goals, and schedule. No cookie-cutter workouts—just what you need. Explore our programs.

4. Can I train if I have joint pain or a past injury?

Yes—and in many cases, we can help reduce that pain. We specialize in joint-safe strength training and mobility for common issues like back pain, bad knees, and tight shoulders.

5. Is nutrition included in the program?

Yes. We’ll help you build simple, sustainable habits—like getting enough protein, eating balanced meals, and avoiding fad diets. We also offer accountability for those who need structure.

6. How many days a week do I need to train?

Most of our clients see progress with 2–3 sessions per week, with routines we design for them. It’s not about training more—it’s about training smarter.

7. Myth: Personal training is only for young people.

Truth: We work with clients in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond.
Our programs are designed to support the changing needs of your body—improving strength, balance, energy, and confidence at any age.

8. Myth: Lifting weights will make me bulky.

Truth: Building bulky muscle is extremely difficult, especially for women. Our strength training is focused on lean muscle, better posture, faster metabolism, and joint support—not size.

9. Myth: Trainers will push me too hard or yell at me.

Truth: That’s not how we do things. At ELITE, we coach with empathy, education, and a focus on long-term progress. No yelling. No drill sergeant stuff. Just results that respect your body.
