Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What happens at the first personal training
session?
A. I do a fitness evaluation that includes testing
strength, flexibility, and endurance along with a complete medical history
and exercise profile of what you enjoy doing for exercise and what you don't
enjoy. It takes 1 hour.
Q. What happens next?
A. I develop your personal training program based
on what you want to accomplish and what you like and don't like to do.
During the next visit, I show you the program exercises. I have all my
clients fill out an exercise log and a food log. This helps us to work
out which foods are best for you what you should stay away from.
Q. Do I need to purchase all sorts of equipment?
A. No! I design personal training programs that
use items found in your home – from soup cans to couches. You can
purchase an inexpensive balance ball or elastics to work out with. Some
clients will buy hand weights.
Q. Do you help me with what I eat?
A. Yes. All my clients keep a food log. That way
we can monitor problem areas.
Q. How long do the one-on-one personal training
sessions last?
A. One hour.
Q. How often do we meet?
A. It depends on the person, but on average, I
meet with clients once a week.
Q. Do I need to work out 2-3 hours a day to see
results?
A. No! And you don't even have to do your personal
training regimen all at once. Do 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes
at night, take the weekends off – whatever it takes to fit fitness
into your life! I recommend to my clients to do strength training 2-3 times
a week and cardio 3-5 times a week.
Q. How do you measure progress?
A. The same way you do – lost inches! During
the first personal training session, I take your body measurements. Every
six weeks, we take measurements again to see your progress.
Q. Do I need to check with my doctor first?
A. It depends on your medical history. Certain
medical issues and ages require a doctor's approval.
Q. Are you trained to work with people with
specific injuries such as new knees or back problems?
A. I'm not a Physical Therapist. I am not trained
for specific injuries. I do work with people with injuries, though. I will
consult with their doctor to make sure that the program I'm proposing is
appropriate for the person.
