A local personal trainer is a health professional who focuses on supporting people’s health through exercise. Whether you have type 1 diabetes and need to manage blood glucose levels, want to lose weight or are recovering from a sports injury, a local personal trainer can be a valuable member of your healthcare team. A local personal trainer can also work with your local registered dietitian or local nutritionist to create a nutritional plan that works for you. That may include fueling your body with carbohydrates, understanding the glycemic index and exercise, reducing calories or incorporating sports nutrition into your fitness plan.
