Our approach to fitness has a foundation in safe training techniques, efficiency, your specific needs. We stay up to date on the latest information to insure that we are not practicing old and dangerous techniques that are still common in many gyms. Attending additional certifications, studying new exercise & physiology journals, practicing new techniques prior to training with them helps us to be better trainers & provide you with a level of comfort & safety when training with us. One size does not fit all, get a workout designed for you.
Below is taken from an article titled “How to Choose a Personal Trainer”
What to Look for In a Personal Trainer
* Education: A personal trainer should be certified through a reputable fitness organization (such as ACSM, ACE or NSCA). An exercise science or other related college degree isn't necessary, but the more education your trainer has, the better your workouts will be.
* CPR: your trainer should have an updated certification in CPR and/or first aid. (We also carry AED certifications)
* Experience: Make sure your trainer has several years of experience, especially in relation to your goals. For example, if you're a fighter, you want someone knowledgeable in that area.
* Specifics: If you have a specific medical problem, injury or condition (such as being pregnant, heart problems, diabetes, etc.) make sure your trainer has education in these areas and will work with your doctor.
* A good listener: A good trainer will listen closely to what you say and make sure he/she understands your goals.
* Attention: A good trainer will be focused only on you during your sessions.
* Tracking progress: A good trainer will regularly assess your progress and change things if necessary.
Personality is important too since you'll be working very closely with this person. Make sure you get along with your trainer and feel comfortable asking questions.
