What is personal training?
Personal training consists of one on one coaching from a certified personal fitness
trainer. The trainer teaches you, motivates you, and gets you to work hard
consistently while following a detailed fitness and nutrition plan which the trainer
develops for you based on you and your goals.
Personal training is the most effective method of achieving your health, fitness,
and/or weight loss goals as it utilizes the most effective exercise and nutrition
strategies while at the same time it keeps you continuously making progress.
How will I benefit from working with a personal trainer?
You WILL benefit in so many different ways... here's just a short list:
What kind of results can I expect?
My personal training programs will allow you to get the most out of your fitness and
nutrition. Important factors to consider are genetics, age, gender, attitude, what
you learn and how much you apply it to your lifestyle when your trainer is not around.
The clients that have been most successful are those that apply these 3 major
principles: Positive Attitude, Consistency, and Specific Goals.
On average, most clients lose approximately 1-2 pounds of body fat per week and
often will lose 10-20 pounds in a 12 week period. This is not scale weight because as
you are losing fat, you are also building muscle – muscle weighs more than fat!
Have you ever watched The Biggest Loser? A wonderful, inspiring show, but not
gonna happen in the real world unless you have a medical staff on-hand, 24-hour
supervision by a team of experts, and endless hours devoted to exercising.
Are you certified? Insured?
Yes!
and the credentials some flash require only a quick online course or a fee. There are
hundreds and hundreds of certification mills out there ready to give anyone a
"certification" just by simply taking an at-home, online test after 2 weeks of
studying.
My certifications require a college degree, controlled testing environments and 6-12
months of studying 700+ paged textbooks.
How often should I meet with a personal trainer?
This depends upon your goals, how quickly you want to achieve them, your schedule
and time available to exercise, and your budget. But when considering the cost, be
sure to remember that this is your health and there is nothing on earth that is more
important - without it you have nothing.
On average, most clients do best when they meet with a personal trainer 2-3 times
per week. Any less than that and people find it all too easy to slack off and not get
nearly as much out of it. Here are a few things to keep in mind when determining how
often to meet with a trainer...
1. How fast do you want to achieve your goal and see results?
The more frequently you meet with your trainer, the faster you'll see results and
achieve your goals and there are several reasons for this - consistency,
accountability, motivation, guidance - you'll work much harder with your trainer than
on your own, etc.
2. How much experience with exercise do you have and how much do you
really know?
So maybe you’ve exercised for years…but do you really know it all? It's not likely.
I’ve devoted years of studying and learning to know what I know and my primary
focus is on helping and teaching you. Think about it - if you don't know taxes, are you
going to try to figure it out yourself or have someone help you? Why leave your
fitness results to chance?
Many of my clients have openly expressed to me that they have joined gyms in the
past and started going for a month or so then never returned. Why? #1 reason was
that they didn’t have to go if they didn’t want to, even though they know they should.
My clients actually ENJOY training because they achieve their desired results, love
the variety of training, appreciate personalized instruction and the privacy, and to
top it off have FUN!
Do I need to have equipment if I am going to be working with
a trainer in my home?
It does help if you have a universal station, free weights, and/or some cardio
equipment. However, I do transport some portable items to your house that is
included in the in-home rate; Tubing, bands, step, dumbbells, balance discs, ladders,
rings, hurdles, cones, medicine balls, stability balls, just to name a few! Don't feel
discouraged if you do not have any fitness equipment. I can still design a results-
oriented program for you!
Why should I choose V.I.People & Pets for Personal Training?
I offer a comprehensive personal training program. I don't push people through
workouts like most personal trainers. I develop a customized strength, flexibility,
cardio, and nutrition plan for you based on you, your goals, your time available to
exercise, your current fitness level, etc. My most common client-base in the past
has been weight management, but this does not mean I only specialize in weight-loss
alone. I have worked with many different populations. My specialty is being a
chameleon - I can adapt to your style. That's what I was trained and certified to
do! My goal is to help you achieve your goals.
Why is personal training so expensive?
Very common question. First of all, its interesting what all of us spend our money on.
I invite you to take a look at your budget and I guarantee you will find something
that is either frivolous or wasteful. Such being the case, why would you skimp on your
own health & well-being? Doctors, Dentists, Accountants, Attorneys, Financial
Advisors, etc. are all very expensive but when it makes sense to use them it saves
us valuable time and money...and we pay them for their expertise! Personal training is
in exactly the same category and without one's health, you have nothing.
Let's face it, sometimes, "you get what you pay for in this world".
