Among many things, working with a personal trainer can help you to reach your goals, stay motivated, and provide you with accountability. Whether you are looking to lose weight, improve fitness, or use exercise as a way to improve your lifestyle, a personal trainer can be a great resource on your journey. We at NIFS believe that we house some of the best [personal trainers](https://www.nifs.org/personal-training) around, and many of our training clients feel the same. Read about what Bob Banta has to say about his training experiences with [Kris Simpson](https://www.nifs.org/fitness-center-0/nifs-bloggers), ACSM-CPT, here at NIFS. **Why did you decide to start personal training?** I lacked personal engagement in past efforts to get fit. Working with a personal trainer overcame that personal engagement resistance. Plus, compensating a personal trainer motivates you not to waste your time or your investment. **Something you have enjoyed:** The whole education side to learning about fitness. Kris is a great fitness educator! **Something you have learned or something that surprised you:** Over the years, once I had integrated exercise into my schedule, when I missed an exercise session, I didn’t feel right. Your body after some time begins to expect the benefits of exercise and when you don’t meet that expectation your body lets you know you are missing something. **Favorite workout from one of the training sessions?** The landmine exercise (weights on barbell that you move side-to-side with). The motion of this exercise uses lots of muscles at the same time. **What accomplishments have you achieved during your training?** I have lost over 120 pounds since I started working out with Kris several years ago*. This summer I visited [Crater Lake](http://www.nationalparks.org/explore-parks/crater-lake-national-park) in Oregon. It is an Alpine lake in the Cascade mountain range that formed in a volcanic caldera. I had to hike up at about 7,500 feet above sea level from the lake’s edge to the top of the caldera rim at a pretty steep ascent. My training with Kris enabled me to do the 1.2-mile vertical hike up through all the switchbacks in under 30 minutes. I passed a lot of people who underestimated how strenuous the climb is at elevation. **Tips you have learned along the way from your trainer?** Correct form matters when exercising. Exercising isn’t a quantity activity; exercising is a quality activity. **How do you stay motivated?** Regular exercise drives up your energy levels. The quality and quantity of my professional work has improved as I have gotten healthier. Bottom line: Regular exercise helps keep you happy. So staying happy is a big motivator. **Any other thoughts you wish to share:** Just want to say working with Kris as a personal trainer was, for me, a critical success factor in turning away from being unhealthy and adopting a healthier life where exercise is one of the main contributors to staying healthy. Thanks, Kris! *Weight loss claims and/or individual results vary and are not guaranteed. **Looking to lose weight, get stronger or just feel better?
