Training FAQ

1. Maximize your time. Your time is precious! In-home training eliminates the commute to/from a facility.
Each session is pre-planned and action-packed to make the most of your time.

2. Privacy. The atmosphere at traditional health clubs can sometimes be overwhelming and uncomfortable. I understand this concern, so client privacy and confidentiality is respected at all times.

3. No intimidation. Fitness facilities can often be intimidating especially for new people. There are machines, cardio equipment, cable machines, free weights, and fit people everywhere. Nobody wants to feel inferior because they don’t know how to adjust the equipment or how to do the exercises properly. Feeling out of place and worrying about what others are thinking can affect both your frame of mind and the quality of your workout. As we work together, I will help to educate you about your muscles and various exercises in your comfort element. As your program progresses you will feel more confidant, positive, and comfortable with exercise!

4. You have a gym membership, but you never go. Sometimes the hardest part about establishing an exercise routine is actually getting to the gym. In-home personal training eliminates your excuses about why you missed a workout.

5. You have the equipment – you just aren’t sure what to do with it! You might be one of the many who use your in-home universal gym to hang drying laundry. I will show you how to use all of your existing exercise equipment and I will work to empower you to have the confidence and determination to continue with
your program on your own.

How well do you think a sports team would perform without a coach? Having a personal trainer is like having your own personal coach to motivate you to develop good habits around fitness and nutrition. Many people need guidance and clear direction when developing these habits, so that they will become a regular part of their life. Most people have a life team comprised of doctors, financial advisers,
home assistants and more. A personal trainer would be a valued member of that life team, ensuring you keep your physical health and well being in tune.

Other reasons to hire a personal trainer:

1. Motivation. Your sessions are pre-planned and I am ready and eager to get you moving. During our time together, I will help you to remain focused, stay on track, and successfully complete your workout.

2. Accountability. I want you to succeed. With so much time and energy invested in your success, I will expect you to put forth a good effort and to perform to the best of your ability. I understand if you’re not feeling 100% each time we work out together, but I still want you to try your very best.

3. Safety. Trying to do too much too soon can cause injuries and timely setbacks. By creating a
safe and effective individualized program, I will direct your progression and observe each exercise closely to ensure proper biomechanical principles are being followed, thus minimizing the risk of injury.

4. Learn proper exercise technique. I will work with you to educate you about your body and its response to exercise. This is important because it will allow you to recognize (and avoid) movements that are more likely to cause injury, and you will learn how to incorporate a successful exercise program into your daily routine.

5. Maximize your rate of progression. All too often, people arrive at the gym with no plan in mind and randomly decide what exercises to perform. This is both ineffective and waste of time. I will closely monitor your development, select the proper exercises and make adjustments to your program to maximize your rate of progression.

Unfortunately, not all personal trainers are created equal. I hold myself to an extremely high standard when it comes to my education, quality of training, and customer service.

When you compare the cost of personal training to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, it really is not that expensive. When you are fit and healthy, medical bills drop, sick days are reduced, you are less stressed, and you are more energetic and productive. It’s a scientifically proven fact, that regular exercise slows down the aging process allowing you to look and feel younger as well as live a longer, happier life!

I will work on a schedule that fits your lifestyle. For the best results, I recommend a commitment of 2-3 times per week. However, if that doesn’t fit into your budget or schedule, you will still see benefits from a training program that includes fewer sessions. Some exercise is better than no exercise at all!!

I will provide you with a plan to follow on your “off ” days from training with me. I will also help to educate you on how to keep yourself fit. This can include giving you tips on how to reduce stress or to eat better.

If you are consistent with your workouts and follow a healthy eating plan, you would typically start seeing noticeable physical changes in about 3 weeks.

At our initial meeting, we will discuss your current lifestyle demands and your ultimate fitness goals. We will also talk about setting some short and long- term goals. Together, we will design a realistic schedule – one that fits both your physical activity needs and your personal availability. Your goal is my goal. Together we can do it!

Your safety is paramount and will not be compromised! A fitness assessment provides me with the information that I need in order to design a safe, effective training program for you. This also allows you to see how far you’ve progressed when you start to get more fit and healthy. If there are any major health concerns, you may also be asked for written clearance from your physician.

No. Clients can make use of their own personal fitness equipment if they like. However, additional equipment is provided free of charge.

Yes. Proper nutrition is a key factor in seeing results and I will provide general nutritional guidance and information about food choices and caloric intake.

All of my equipment is 100% portable and I will be happy to meet with you at a location that best suits your needs. Depending on your fitness level and training program, you could exercise with a stability ball, bosu, resistance bands, medicine ball, TRX, skipping rope, or free weights.

24 hours notice is required to cancel or re-schedule a session. Failure to give notice will result in forfeit of the payment and session.
