“You should not exercise only for beauty, but also as a way to take care of health, because now there is a lot of sedentary lifestyle and obesity,” added coach Humberto Perdomo.

Whether to improve your health, lose excess pounds or strengthen your body, you must have your goals clear. This, with the purpose of looking for a coach that helps you meet those goals and so you can see the results more quickly.


The training of the coach is one of the most important factors, as his safety and physical integrity must always prevail.

The first thing that should be looked at in a personal trainer is his studies, since he must have at least a technical degree in functional and sports training, so that the practices he offers are not only effective, but safe.

Create routines based on your goals


After setting your goals, ask your coaching candidate to create a routine to achieve them and explain why you include certain exercises in your program.

Plans offered by the trainers


The sedentary people that until now begin in the world of the sport must condition their body little by little to be more and more resistant. For this reason, a plan of 12 personalized classes is offered, with a cost of $ 350,000, so that they train three times a week and go up the level, according to their evolution.


For those who have a better physical condition and want to have a more intense training, it is advisable to buy 20 personalized classes, to train five times a week. With this training, people will work on strengthening their body. This plan is priced at $ 450,000.

This includes an assessment and a diet that is in accordance with your goals, either to burn fat or tone muscles. This type of exercise programs have a monthly payment of $ 500,000.


Gym or coach?


Coaches agree that only people who already have enough experience, a good physical condition, know what routine suits them and how to do it properly, can go alone to a gym.
