What is Personal Training?

This is difficult to explain because Personal Training can be so many different things depending on the client – that’s what makes it personal!  A client can choose to train with their trainer 5x/week if they like, 2x/week, 1x/week, once every two weeks or even once every month.  At the very least, a client should visit their trainer once every 6 weeks to make a few changes to their program to make sure they’re always progressing and experiencing results – too many people stay on the same program for an extended period of time and wonder why they’re no longer experiencing changes in their fitness level.  Critical to ongoing progress is regular updates to someone’s fitness regime.

 A client can decide whether they’d like to focus on cardio-conditioning, muscle-conditioning, flexibility, nutrition or a combination of all of these.  They could decide they want to learn to run, inline skate or maybe go for a hike.  We really do strive to make our clients’ sessions as individualized as possible. 

 Personal Training has become a very popular service with many people experiencing results, therefore, demonstrating its value.  When someone signs up with a trainer, they can expect regular education, support and guidance.  Their trainer will make them accountable – clients will always have someone looking over their shoulder.  Trainers provide safety, variety and efficiency and effectiveness.  

 A client’s first session with a trainer is critical to helping them set up a foundation for success.  Seven out of ten people start an exercise program but then within 2-3 months they have dropped out.  This high drop-out rate is often due to the fact that the individual has not spent any time establishing the right program for them based on their history, goals, individual needs and lifestyle.  Our Team of Personal Trainers spend a good portion of the first session talking with their new client to determine which type of program is going to help them stay motivated so they are consistent enough to progress, experience results and succeed. 

We have helped so many different clients over the years from beginners, elderly individuals, people experiencing back, neck, knee and shoulder problems, mountain climbers, competitive skiers and boarders, competitive basketball athletes, wheelchair athletes, triathletes, runners, cyclists, pre/post natal, obese clients, diabetic individuals, osteoporotic individuals and many more.  We are completely confident that regardless of someone’s special considerations, we will be able to help them achieve a higher level of health and fitness.
