Why should a personal trainer come to me?

Having a personal trainer come to you primarily accomplishes two things: success in your goals and making your life easier.

Think of all the time that is spent on traveling to the gym alone. For some people it’s 10 minutes. Others it’s 25, and if you don’t go at the right time and hit that Jacksonville traffic, you can easily add an extra 20 minutes to your trip. Round trip that’s 20-30 minutes minimum in your busy day that you took out to get to a location!

The number one excuse I hear from people who say they can’t get in shape or workout is “I don’t have time”. If you’re traveling to a gym, of course you don’t!

Having a professional, certified Personal Trainer come to you increases your chances of sticking with an exercise program a hundred fold.

How do you deliver your service?

Through the use of minimal equipment, we are helping the busy people of Jacksonville, FL lose weight, reduce stress, and feel better. Whether you’re a busy professional, a stay-at-home mom, or even a college student on a budget, we’ve got a plan that works for you.

In addition to private 1-on-1 personal training, we also offer semi-private and group fitness classes in Jacksonville, FL. We have male and female trainers as well if there is a preference.

All of our programs utilize cardio and weight training protocols to help you burn the most calories while gaining strength to feel your best!

Will I still get the results I want if I'm not using machines?

Just because you’re not going to your local gym and working out there, doesn’t mean you’re not going to get top-quality results. In fact, I would argue that you’ll get even better results with our minimal equipment approach than you would in a gym.

We don’t just focus on one aspect of fitness, such as weight loss or muscle building, or to put it generally, aesthetics. Instead, we focus on making your body reach those aesthetic goals you may have while increasing your performance and physical ability.

By attacking multiple goals in each session and each month, not only will you see tremendous results as our clients have but you will feel better and be stronger than you ever thought possible.

And because you can train wherever you want, you’ll have more time to do what you love most!

Is hiring a Personal Trainer right for me?

Personally, I believe everyone should have a trainer. Even trainers should have trainers! It is truly an investment in your health and well-being. There’s so many reasons to work with one:

– Exercise safety through proper form

– Accountability and Motivation

– Scientifically proven to produce better results than training on your own

– Personalized programs based around your fitness level

– Optimize your workout time

– Top athletes use trainers and so should you. It’s not enough to “know enough” to work out on your own. Personal Trainers drive you to reach your goals.

The most important reason I would advise hiring a trainer is safety and confidence in reaching your goals. We live in such a modernized world that everything is automatic and most of our jobs are very sedentary. Because of this, reports of low-back pain, neck pain, and the chance of pulling and straining weak muscles is very high for the deconditioned individual.

Postural imbalances can develop by having a sedentary lifestyle and greatly compromise proper form, which in turn greatly increases the risk of injury especially as the the weight used in resistance training also increases. Having my own lower back injury steered me to wanting to become a Personal Trainer and learn how to workout safely and reach my goals without damaging my body.

The secondary reason would be having the confidence of reaching your goals quicker by relying on proven techniques. Many Personal Trainers try to stay current with cutting edge research and are very familiar with what works and what doesn’t.

I have previous injuries/medical conditions. Will these workouts be safe for me?

Our programs are fully personalized. When we do consultations we take clients through 2 or 3 assessments that help us see where they’re at physically. The initial assessment is the backbone of any personalized training program. It’s what sets your workout routine apart from the generic “one-size-fits-all” programs you’ll find online, in fitness magazines, and from most commercial workout products.

One of the most critical yet least addressed aspects of training is that of posture and the reality of muscle imbalances in an individual. Muscle imbalances lead to the body producing incorrect and compromising movement patterns that could set you up for an injury. Because of this, the first assessment we take clients through is a postural assessment to see if there is any muscle imbalances that need to be addressed in the program. This is to ensure safety and reduce the potential of injury down the road.

In order to help our clients reach their goals, they need to know where they’re starting from so that progress can be tracked. This is more than just tracking weight from week to week. It’s crucial to know how much weight is fat and how much is muscle. Knowing each is important for both weight loss and muscle mass gain and to see progress month-to-month. All this information together sets the stage for completely customized program designs that are sure to deliver excellent results.

Why In-Home Training?

1. Accountability: Because we come to you and the appointment is pre-scheduled, it dramatically increases exercise adherence and reduces procrastination or “blowing off” your workout. There’s not too many excuses that can be made to get out of training when it’s set up like this which is why it’s so effective. Having trained clients in a gym as well as in-home, we can attest that we had far more cancellations and excuses come up for not being able to make it to the gym than we’ve ever had training clients in their homes.

2. Convenience: Have you ever gone to the gym at a peak time and couldn’t find a free treadmill? What about trying to get a bench on Mondays (a.k.a. international Chest Day)? Training at home instantly takes the hassle out of your workout experience by making sure you never have to fight for your equipment. Not to mention you don’t have to stress out about traffic, you save money by saving gas, time because you don’t have to travel, and when you’re done, you can shower and change in the comfort, privacy, and cleanliness of your own home. Imagine not having to wear sandals in the shower after your workout (and if you’re not wearing sandals in the gym shower, you will after you read this)

3. Comfort: Many people report feeling very uncomfortable in gyms and when working out around people who may be farther along than they are. Feelings of judgement, intimidation, and insecurity are all common feelings in these scenarios. But In-Home Personal Training is private and much more comfortable. You never have to worry about judgement, embarrassment, or be self-conscious and you get much higher quality attention and service from your trainer.
