Not Sure If Personal Training Is for You?…
Here’s What to Expect at Functional Elements
Functional Elements Training & Nutrition – Creve Coeur, MO
If you've ever thought, “Maybe I should get a personal trainer… but I’m not sure it’s for me,” you're not alone.
At Functional Elements Training & Nutrition in Creve Coeur, MO, we talk to people all the time who are on the fence. They're curious, but unsure. Will it be awkward? Too intense? Too expensive? Will I be expected to already be in great shape? These are all common concerns that have been raised.
Here’s the good news: personal training is not just for elite athletes or fitness fanatics. It’s for anyone who wants expert guidance, a plan that works, and support to follow through—no matter where you're starting from. Most of our clients come to us for structured guidance and most of all accountability.
Common Misconceptions (That We Hear All the Time)
“I need to get in shape before I start personal training.”
Nope! Why would you be seeking help then? Helping people get in shape is our job. Whether you’re new to exercise, coming back after time off, or stuck in a rut, we’ll meet you where you are—and help you move forward.
“I don’t want someone yelling at me in the gym.”
Neither do we. Our coaching style is supportive, encouraging, and focused on smart, sustainable progress. No drill sergeant energy here.
“It’s too expensive for what you get.”
Personal training isn’t just about workouts—it’s about efficiency, safety, and accountability. You’ll save time, avoid injuries, and get better results, faster. That’s a pretty strong return on investment.
