1. Motivation
Personal trainers serve many purposes including coach, educator, confidant, role model and they provide a major source of motivation and encouragement.
2. Consistency
Do you find it difficult to stick to your program? Scheduling regular appointments with a personal trainer helps eliminate any excuses you may come up with for not exercising.
3. Safety
I always make sure to show my clients how to exercise safely (including which exercises to avoid), and instruct you on the proper and safe use of exercise equipment.
4. Individualized instruction
An exercise program that works for one person may not work for another. I develop the most effective program for you based on your fitness evaluation results and personal goals. If my clients would perfer group sessions I am happy to do them as well
5. Effective workouts
Today's hectic lifestyles mean you don't have time to waste on ineffective exercise routines. I will help maximize your time by providing workouts designed to meet your goals quickly and efficiently.
6. Supervision
Need someone to spot you while you do pull-ups? Looking for feedback on your running form? That's what I am there for: to observe, assist, educate and, if necessary, correct as needed.
7. Sports-specific training
Whether you want to shave some strokes off your golf score or beat your brother-in-law at tennis, I can tailor your program to your sport of choice to help you excel in your sport of choice.
8. Injury rehabilitation
I can make the road to recovery a smooth one by recommending exercises that emphasize overall muscular balance to prevent future injuries.
9. Special-needs training
Research confirms that individuals with health challenges such as diabetes, asthma, parkinsons, osteoporosis or heart disease benefit greatly from regular physical activity. These conditions, however, can make exercising safely a challenge. I am experienced in designing programs that address the special needs of these and other conditions.
10. Ego boost
It's a fact--feeling good makes you look good, and vice versa. Not only can I help you achieve your health and fitness goals; I will provide you with positive feedback when appropriate that will bolster your confidence to take on new challenges.
