Every person is unique. We all have certain genetic predispositions, health history and different personalities. Every training program starts with an in depth 1-hour initial interview with a prospective client. During this interview we discuss client’s previous exercise experiences, specific goals and any health concerns. A client has a chance to ask any questions regarding me, my education, and my experience or training methods. There is no charge for the initial interview. If a client decides they want to proceed with training they are given an informational folder containing, among other things, a thorough health/medical history questionnaire. They can take the folder home and fully familiarize themselves with the content as well as have a chance to answer the required questions. During the first training session, which usually takes about 90 minutes, we go over the questionnaire and discuss specific goals in more detail as well as different ways to accomplish them. This session also includes a fitness assessment.

Based on my findings from the assessment and the information received from a client I design a detailed program that includes both short and long term goals.  I share my rationale for the program design with a client and they are given a chance to ask questions and give me their input.

Your full program will start on the second session. I will teach you how to plan proper cardiovascular workouts that will challenge your heart but not lead to overtraining.

The strength training workouts will first focus on correcting muscular imbalances and working on muscle stabilization necessary to progress to muscular endurance as well as strength training.

Balance and flexibility are also important components and they will be addressed according to clients’ needs.

At the beginning of our training relationship I do a general nutrition assessment but clients are encouraged to incorporate nutrition sessions into their program to ensure results.

Your goals and progress will be re-assessed periodically and your constant feedback and input will be crucial to the success of your program.
