What to Expect from an NDIS Registered Personal Trainer
Here’s what to expect from working with a personal trainer:
A Personalised Fitness Program
A personal trainer will create a personalised fitness program based on your specific goals, needs, and abilities, considering limitations or restrictions, if any.
One-on-One Attention
You’ll have one-on-one attention with your personal trainer, which helps you stay motivated and accountable throughout your fitness journey.
Expertise and Guidance
Your personal trainer is a certified professional with the knowledge and expertise to help you safely and effectively reach your fitness goals. They will provide you with the right guidance and support at every step.
Convenient Training Locations
Personal trainers typically offer training sessions at convenient locations, such as your home, office, or local gym. It makes it easy to fit exercise into your schedule.
Affordable
Personal training can be expensive, but with NDIS funding, it’s more affordable than ever. You can use your NDIS plan to cover the cost of personal training sessions, which means you can invest in your health without breaking the bank.
How to get started with an NDIS Registered Personal Trainer
Getting started with a personal trainer is easy. Contact a NDIS registered provider in your area to get an appointment.
Once you have scheduled an appointment, let your trainer know your session goals. Share any medical conditions that may need to be addressed during the session. After the session, let the trainer know if you have any questions or concerns about your progress. Your trainer will work with you through several sessions to help you reach your fitness goals.
What’s the difference between an Exercise Physiologist and a Personal Trainer?
An exercise physiologist is a health specialist with a degree in exercise science. At the same time, a Personal Trainer may or may not have formal qualifications in exercise and fitness. Exercise physiologists and personal trainers can help you reach your health and fitness goals. But an exercise physiologist can provide you with more specific advice and guidance based on your needs.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to health and fitness but working with a personal trainer can certainly help you reach any fitness goals you may have set out to achieve for yourself. A personal trainer can develop tailored exercises and create nutrition plans that are most convenient for you, your needs, schedule, and lifestyle. They can also provide support and motivation to help you stay on track.
If you have an NDIS plan, you may be eligible for funding to cover the cost of personal training services. If you have any questions about NDIS plan management, please contact us at 1800 63 63 77 or email us at info@ndsp.com.au.
