Personal Trainer Overview

My fitness training is based on a lot of different methods. Depending upon the client, they can determine what method would work best. It could be a functional fitness style, or sometimes it could be a rehabilitative style that might work best. That should be determined after the fitness assessment. Discuss with the client what you found, and explain the course of action to be taken. That is how I usually work.

Training Philosophy

Every client is different! Injury prevention is number 1, and it very well should be for all trainers. I work on posture, balance, flexibility, cardiovascular conditioning, stabilization, functional training as well. It does matter what you are trying to achieve, if it matters to you, it matters to me! I have been a Fitness trainer for over 16 years, and I believe if you keep your clients healthy, they will take care of you also.
