One-On-One Personal Training

Personal Training begins with a complimentary consultation/fitness evaluation:

• A detailed medical, orthopedic, exercise, nutrition, and lifestyle history
• Kinetic Chain Analysis (using the Overhead Squat)
• Goal Setting
• Assessments appropriate for your fitness goals

From this information, I will design a customized program for you that may include elements such as cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility training, as well as nutritional and lifestyle recommendations. The number of days a client should train depends upon a host of factors, including motivation level, ambition of goals, fitness background, schedule flexibility, and so forth. Generally, I suggest we train more frequently (at least initially) to make sure you are completing enough exercise, with proper form, structured progressions, and sufficient intensity to satisfy your goals. Furthermore, if we train frequently, you will be more inclined to make healthy nutritional and lifestyle choices, which will optimize your success and lead to enhanced motivation to continue on your own! Once this is achieved, we can re-evaluate and decrease how often you train.
