HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Session prices can vary based on the type of session and how many people. Contact me to find out more!
WHERE CAN WE TRAIN?
Wherever you are! I can train with you at your home, a local park or an apartment/condo gym that you have access to. I will bring all the equipment. Please note that if you belong to a gym, most will not allow outside trainers to work with you in their facility.
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?
30 or 60 minutes. We can determine which option is best for you and your goals when we talk.
DO I NEED TO BRING ANYTHING TO OUR SESSIONS?
Just you, a bottle of water and a towel. Feel free to bring your own mat, but I have those too. I'll bring everything else you need!
I'VE NEVER WORKED WITH A TRAINER BEFORE. WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT?
A lot of fun, hard work and most importantly, results. I prefer to meet with you first to talk more about your goals, medical history and dig deeper into what you like/dislike about fitness. This also gives you an opportunity to get to know me and my style. Then I'll ask you to perform a couple movements to help me see how your body moves. I'll take this info and customize a plan for our first workout together, where we shatter your limits.
HOW OLD DO I HAVE TO BE TO TRAIN?
I work with people of all ages, from teenagers to those in their 80's. If your'e under 18 years of age, I will need written consent from a parent or legal guardian.
I'M A GUY WHO WANTS TO GAIN MUSCLE MASS. DON'T I NEED A GUY TRAINER TO HELP ME DO THAT?
Don't be fooled...just because I'm a female doesn't mean I don't know what it takes to get bigger. I have a lot of knowledge in what it takes to help you bulk up and get cut. I use a few different techniques, programs and splits to help you get to where you want to be. If bulking up is your goal, we'll typically need access to a gym with a bench and heavier dumbbells to make this happen more quickly.
I'M A FEMALE AND AM CONCERNED THAT LIFTING WEIGHTS WILL MAKE ME BULK UP. IS THAT TRUE?
Don't believe this myth. It takes an extreme amount of dedication, several hours of lifting weights and meticulous nutrition to bulk up. The type of strength training I implement will tone you up, increase your metabolism and help strength your bones. It will not bulk you up! Unless, of course, that's your goal.
WHAT TYPE OF CLIENTS DO YOU WORK WITH?
Pretty much any and everyone, as long as you're committed. I've trained teenagers, people in their 80's, and everyone in between. Professional athletes, women who want to gain back their confidence, guys who want to bulk up, brides who want to look fab on their big day, people who wanna turn heads with their cut figure, seniors who want to work on their balance, people recovering from an injury...the list goes on and on.
WHAT'S YOUR TRAINING STYLE?
The easiest answer is that my style is flexible and motivating. I'm not the old school military-style trainer with a whistle and bullhorn in your face. I'm encouraging and will push you thru discomfort but not to the point of injury. I watch you like a hawk to ensure your form is safe and effective. I make positive energy the focal point of our workouts but also don't mind if you flip me off or call me names during our workouts. Just know that I push you for a reason. That's why you hire me.
WHAT'S THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO LOSE WEIGHT & TONE UP?
Three essentials: cardio, strength training and nutrition. You can't just do one and expect results quickly. I mix cardio and strength training into all of my workouts. And cardio doesn't have to be boring runs on the treadmill. You can easily do a HIIT workout and call it a day!
HOW MANY TIMES A WEEK SHOULD I WORKOUT?
That depends on your goal. I'll help you determine the exact plan once we meet, but generally you should aim for strength training a minimum of twice per week, along with cardio (including HIIT).
HOW BIG OF A ROLE DOES NUTRITION REALLY PLAY IN WHAT MY BODY LOOKS LIKE?
Most fitness and nutritionist specialists say that nutrition is 80-90% responsible for what your body looks like. So if you bust your butt in our workouts and aren't seeing results, it's most likely due to poor eating. So you have to get that in check. If you don't, all that sweat and effort you use in our workouts will be a waste.
SO THEN WHAT SHOULD I EAT? ALL THE NUTRITION PROGRAMS OUT THERE ARE SO CONFUSING.
Keep it simple: lean protein, lots of veggies and fruit, whole grains, aim for dairy-free products such as almond milk and greek yogurt, and limit processed foods and alcohol. Think of these things as items you CAN have as opposed to what you CAN'T. If you wanna throw in a treat here and there, do it. (ie one cookie once a day or one treat meal once a week). Just know that whatever you put into your body determines what it looks like and how you feel. How bad do you want what you want? I promise you that eating better makes you feel better.
