What takes place in my first training?

I have each client fill out a health history questionnaire / activity history, so that I am aware of any limiting conditions and can create a safe and effective routine (in some cases a doctor’s release is required to start an exercise program).

Fitness testing provides a starting point for your program, as well as a way to measure progress toward your goals. Following the workout, I give each client a meal diary to fill out for 3-4 days. This will help in ensuring that your nutritional intake will support your efforts in the gym or your home.

Why should I exercise regularly? What are the benefits?

That's an easy one:

Lower your resting heart rate and blood pressure.

Increase lean muscle mass and lose body fat.

mprove flexibility, posture, balance and coordination.

Reduce and relieve stress and symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Increase endurance, energy and strength.

Increase bone density.

Improve physical appearance and self-esteem.

Improve athletic performance.

Helps Type II diabetes, back pain, arthritis, osteoporosis, high cholesterol, etc.

Help prevent injury.

Increase metabolic rate.

Improved general health!

Why use a trainer? What are your qualities as a trainer?

Having a trainer takes the guesswork out of exercise and diet and ensures that you will reach your goals safely and effectively in the shortest possible time. Constant monitoring and adjusting of your program, as well as providing supervision and motivation, leads to attaining your goals much more quickly.

Having said that, a good trainer does not:

Arrive late for sessions.

Show up unprepared.

Cancel sessions at the last minute.

Fail to keep good records and measure progress.

I pride myself on giving my clients superior service and support, and my constant undivided attention. My experience and a real passion to help others realize their potential, will give my clients measurable results!

How do I stay in shape?

My personal program consists of 5-6 days with strength training, cardio and agility work, and almost every day of 1-2 hours boxing training. I recommend that all my clients try an exercise-boxing class. I incorporate elements of both in my clients sessions.
