Do I need equipment?

No equipment, no problem. We bring everything necessary for a safe and effective workout.

We also believe the simplest forms of equipment (bands, dumbbells, exercise balls, etc.) are the most effective. You have to work to balance and stabilize these tools giving you overall conditioning.

Why hire a personal trainer?

How well do you think a sports team would perform without a coach? A trainer serves as your coach to educate and help motivate you to develop positive fitness and nutrition habits. Most people need guidance and clear direction when developing these habits so that they will become a regular part of life. In addition to education and motivation, many people need someone to hold them accountable. Your trainer tracks your progress and continually refines your program. As issues arise your trainer develops solutions to keep you on track.

Who hires a personal trainer?

Anyone. We train a wide variety of people for many different reasons. Our youngest client is 9, conditioning his body to overcome a birth defect. Our oldest client is an 83 year old who wants to improve his energy levels. In between we have clients that are everything from executives to stay at home parents. We even have clients with special physical needs. More specifically, personal trainers are for anyone who does not have time to go to the gym or does not feel comfortable in the gym.

Is in-home training expensive?

First, when you compare the cost to the benefits of a healthy lifestyle, it is not that expensive. When you are fit and healthy, medical bills can drop, sick days are reduced, and you are more energetic and productive. Those things translate directly to positively impact your financial bottom line.

Second, a good trainer should want you to “graduate” from personal training and transition into working out on your own. That means they have successfully instilled healthy lifestyle habits that you can now practice for the rest of your life.

Finally, personal training is a personal service. The number of times you meet with a trainer depends on your skill level and your motivation. Some clients work with a trainer three times a week, because they are not motivated to workout by themselves. Others see a trainer twice a month to get fresh ideas on changing up their routine.

How many sessions per week are necessary?

Two to three is generally a good number. Having said that, keep in mind personal training is a personal service based on your unique needs. The number of visits will depend on your motivation and your fitness level. Regardless of how many times you meet with us during the week, we advocate cardio training on the days in-between. Remember, the body is at its best when moving. If you do some sort of exercise five days per week, you will get the most effective results.

How long until I see results?

Exercise has a cumulative effect. If you are consistent with workouts and eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, we typically see noticeable physical changes in as little as 4 weeks.
