Q: What are some ways you'll keep me motivated?
Assessments are very important and will keep you motivated.  Body fat %, body measurements, flexibility and strength assessments will be part of every exercise program.   Seeing these changes in your body will help keep you motivated.  Also, educating you about a fitness lifestyle. Giving you the power to succeed on your own.  It’s true, knowledge is power.

Q: What results can I expect on your program?
Just like anything else, It’s what you put into it.  It depends on your goals, but most clients see 1-2 lbs loss in 1 week.  With a good exercise program you can expect a 3% body fat change can occur in a 6-week time frame.  The more fitness components you follow, the better chance you will succeed with your goals

Q: Why should I hire a personal trainer?
Personal trainers have an advanced knowledge of exercise programs that are specific to your goals.  Motivation, accountability and consistency are all important in any exercise program.  Combining an effective exercise and nutritional program together will help you achieve your results much faster.

Q: How often should I meet with a trainer?
On average, most clients do best when they meet with me 2 - 3 times per week. Less than that many people tend to lose interest.  Here are a few things to keep in mind when determining how often you'll meet with your trainer.

• How fast do you want to achieve your goal and see results?
• The more frequently you meet with your trainer the faster you'll see results and achieve your goals. There are several reasons for this including; consistency, accountability, education & motivation.
• Everyone needs help from time to time.
• Most clients I work with start out meeting me 2-3 times per week.  It depends on a few factors, available times, goals, and commitment.

Q: I don’t have exercise equipment, what do I need for you to train me in my home?
