I get a lot of questions about the level of physical fitness that is required to become a fighter pilot.

While making sure that you’ll make it through training is important, I really can’t stress enough that you will have to be fit, and remain fit to be a great fighter pilot.

For anyone that enters a serious, goal-oriented fitness program there are often a number of stumbling blocks that are encountered that make reaching those fitness goals more difficult. One option to getting the most out of your workout is by working out with a personal trainer.

While this may sound like an expensive workout option there are a number of things a trainer can give you to help you reach your fitness goals, even if it is just for a few sessions.

Motivation: Now if becoming a fighter pilot is not enough motivation then I really don’t know what is, but a trainer can help you jump start your motivation by giving you the incentive to get started!

Learn Proper Technique: An important part of getting maximum results in any fitness program is to use the proper techniques, especially for weight training.

If you are new to exercise, or are not sure what types of routines you should be doing then even a few sessions with a trainer can give you the knowledge you need to get the most out of your workout.

Create a Program that will Work for You: When you enter into a serious fitness regime having a program that is suited to your particular needs, body type, fitness level and goals will help you get the best out of your workout.

If you have any injuries or haven’t worked out in a while they can help tailor a program to your particular needs.

While a personal trainer may seem like an unnecessary expense if you don’t know where to begin with your workout routine, or have hit a place where you are no longer seeing any results it may be the best way to kick start your workout!
