2. What takes place in my first training session with a personal trainer?

I like for your first training session to consist of fitness testing (flexibility test, lower body/upper body endurance, abdominal strength) bodyfat testing, measurements, and a brief workout if time permits.

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).

3. Why should I use a personal trainer?

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

I pride myself on giving my clients excellent service and support, and constant undivided attention. I attend many continuing education seminars, classes, and conferences each year in order to stay on top of the latest research in training methods.
