Personal Training

In today’s world there is more information than ever on fitness and wellness, however determining what is legitimate and discovering what works best for you, as an individual, can be overwhelming.

As an Exercise Physiologist, it is my job to keep up to date on wellness issues in order to give you a safe, effective, appropriate program that yields great results.

We will provide a program for you designed around your goals and time frame.

A general fitness program is not as effective as a personalized program. Your routine needs to be modified to meet your specific needs. Personal attention will ensure that you are always using proper exercise techniques and progressing at a level that is right for you.

Personal training usually includes strength, cardiovascular and flexibility training. However, the focus may be only on one particular aspect of training, depending on your goals.

Strength Training

Strength training can be performed through traditional strength training, functional training (exercises that mimic activities of daily living), post-rehabilitation, sport specific training or a combination of different methods. Goals of strength training may include:

  • Improve quality of life by making activities of daily living less of a task
  • Increase/maintain bone density
  • Decrease your risk of falling
  • Improve balance and coordination
  • Improve your sports performance (golf, soccer, etc)
  • Decrease muscular pain
  • Improve posture
  • Boost metabolism

Cardiovascular Training

Cardiovascular training may include any of the following goals:

  • Strengthen your most important muscle (the heart)
  • Improve circulation
  • Decrease blood pressure or cholesterol
  • Boost metabolism for weight loss or weight maintenance
  • Increase endurance and/or speed

Flexibility Training

Flexibility training is often the most neglected form of training but is a very important mode of exercise, especially for the aging population. Here are some benefits of flexibility training:

  • Reduced back pain and general muscle pain
  • Decrease injury risk
  • Increased mobility and joint range of motion
  • Reduced stress

One-on-one training

Individual sessions can be made on a regular, periodic or one-time basis.

Why one-on-one sessions?

  • To get better results
  • For a personalized routine to use at home or elsewhere
  • Accountability to get you into a routine
  • To exercise in a private, non-intimidating atmosphere
  • To transition safely from a clinical or rehabilitation setting
  • To enhance your results from group Pilates
