Preparing For Winter and Spring Sports with Sports-Specific Personal Training

By matthew lein|2017-10-18T14:43:18+00:00October 18th, 2017|Sports Agility Training|Comments Off on Preparing For Winter and Spring Sports with Sports-Specific Personal Training

Now that fall sports are beginning to wrap up at local high schools, colleges, and universities throughout East Cobb, Marietta, and Roswell, practice for winter sports like boys' basketball, soccer, and wrestling is underway. Also, some spring sports tryouts are also signaling the start of practices for sports like golf, volleyball, swimming, baseball, lacrosse, tennis, and track and field. While students can get a lot of time in at practice and on their own, working on certain skills, they can raise the bar on strength, agility, balance, and endurance by undergoing sports-specific personal training with a personal trainer who has played those sports and is trained to bring out the best in others who play the same sport. Besides knowing exactly what these athletes need to improve their sports-specific abilities, these personal trainers are qualified to help them learn how to avoid injuries, create a nutrition plan that enhances and energizes, and offer advice on being prepared mentally and emotionally for the competitions ahead. Numerous high school and college athletes come to our personal training facility because they appreciate the value of working with personal trainers who played these sports while in school and even at the minor league level.

Why the Fall Season is a Good Time to Start Personal Training

By matthew lein|2017-10-05T16:12:33+00:00October 5th, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on Why the Fall Season is a Good Time to Start Personal Training

Now that fall is in full swing, it's a good time to start thinking about personal training. Here's why: Kids are in School Now that the kids have gone back to school, there may be a bit more free time on your schedule or at least periods where you don't have to be at home keeping an eye on them. This gives you the freedom to do something for yourself. Since there are no vacations on the horizon and you are settling into a new pattern, it makes sense to add personal training into the mix. The Weather is Cooling Off Sometimes, it's hard to feel motivated when it's hot and humid outside. However, as the weather changes in fall to something more inviting, you may feel more motivated to get going on exercise. This change in the weather can be just what you need to jump-start a personal training program that starts to build your stamina to work toward handling exercise in hotter weather in the future. Temptations are Coming Personal trainers can help you form new habits and improve self-discipline as the holidays approach. There is Halloween candy, carb loading at Thanksgiving, and lots of temptations during the December [...]

Fall Fitness Tips

By matthew lein|2017-09-28T14:27:50+00:00September 28th, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on Fall Fitness Tips

Now that the weather is changing, you may want to tweak your fitness routine. After all, the temperature may be a little chillier in the mornings while the days are getting shorter. This may mean you will have to change the time you workout or how long you have to fit in. As a personal trainer, I have some great tips for fall fitness that help you make some alterations to your fitness routine that may even help move beyond any plateaus you are experiencing in your results. Make the Most of the Weather This is the time to actually do more exercise outdoors. It's not as hot throughout the Atlanta area, so you can work in some other types of exercise, including cycling, hiking, and walking. There are plenty of trails in and around our area that make this a great time to take your exercise to new places. Even doing yard work to pick up all those leaves can add to your workout. Try Some New Exercises If you have been following a personal training program with us, be prepared to try out some new types of exercise. Each season, we like to change it up and throw [...]

Building Personal Training Programs For Specific Needs

By matthew lein|2017-09-19T13:22:58+00:00September 19th, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on Building Personal Training Programs For Specific Needs

Personal training programs should not be a one-size-fits-all approach. That's because everyone has different goals. It's not always about just dropping pounds. Some people want to get stronger while others may be undertaking some rehabilitation work. Then, there are others who are focused on training for a specific sport. Within those various reasons and objectives are also individuals who have different abilities, strengths and weaknesses, and temptations or struggles. All of those factors must also be considered for a personal training program. Generic Programs Designed For Failure Otherwise, if you just offer clients a generic personal training program, you are actually setting them up for failure. That's because much of that program doesn't address their goals and personal abilities. Then, when they don't see any progress, these clients become discouraged. A generic program cannot address the certain skills you need to play a sport like football or baseball. Just running on a treadmill or lifting weights is not going to make you a better athlete. Instead, you need someone to help you run certain drills designed to address the skills you need to excel at a particular sport just like you would do in your practices. Also, it's important to [...]

Why Personal Training is So Important to Your Workout

By matthew lein|2017-09-13T23:32:30+00:00September 13th, 2017|Uncategorized|Comments Off on Why Personal Training is So Important to Your Workout

It's great that you are working out regularly or even that you just signed up at the gym. However, there are many reasons why you should consider having a personal trainer as part of your workout. These are just some of the reasons why you should include personal training in your workout regimen: Personal trainers can educate you based on their own knowledge and experience. That helps you know the most effective exercises for your fitness goals. It also helps you reduce the chances of injury because they have educated you on how to use the equipment in the right way. They show you the correct posture and technique so you also get better results. Often, you cannot see what you are doing so think of them as another pair of eyes. Personal trainers can address your own unique requirements. This includes how to exercise without irritating an old injury or what to do after a surgery. Other unique requirements may be mobility, age, and level of ability. They know what is a realistic goal to set for yourself so that you lose the weight or gain strength in a safe way that will help you maintain those goals over [...]

September is Self-Improvement Month

By matthew lein|2017-09-03T17:27:00+00:00September 3rd, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on September is Self-Improvement Month

September is National Self-Improvement Month. There's no time like right now to start working on yourself and making an even better version of you. The month has just begun so you can make the most of this national event and think about how the ways you would like to improve yourself. Step 1: Make a List Think about all the things -- physical, emotional, mental, and social -- that you would like to do better at. After all, self-improvement is not just about your weight or activity level. It's everything that makes up you and creates a satisfying life. Maybe self-improvement means learning a new skill or increasing your income. Perhaps it is about doing more for others. Whatever you decide, writing it down will help hold you more accountable to actually achieving those improvements. Step 2: Make the Necessary Appointments Tied to Areas of Improvement Figure out if there is outside professional support that can help guide the strategies you need to implement in order to make the improvements on your list. That may include a physician to assess health and safety, a personal trainer to guide you through the fitness process, and a mentor to help suggest direction [...]

By matthew lein|2017-08-28T20:18:27+00:00August 28th, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on Special Offer: 3 Personal Training Sessions for Just $99!

We are so proud of each one of our clients and just how far they have come. They are the reason we are in business and why we continue to focus on value-oriented pricing to ensure that we can help the most people possible to reach their fitness goals. Achieving those goals is never easy, and they are even harder when we try to face them on our own. That's why personal training works. We've seen so many people struggle on their own but then thrive when they've started putting a personalized fitness program to work. We understand that many people may stay clear of personal training because they are concerned about the investment. That led us to periodically put together some extra special deals so that personal training was within reach. The current special is three training sessions for $99. This includes three one-hour sessions with a certified trainer. They work with you and listen to your personal goals, current physical and medical history, and fitness ability. An assessment and customized training program is created during that time. The three sessions also provide a good amount of time in which to see how effective working with a personal trainer [...]

How Small Changes Add Up to Big Results

By matthew lein|2018-12-27T23:42:29+00:00August 20th, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on How Small Changes Add Up to Big Results

Many clients come to our fitness facility and say they are overwhelmed with the goals they have in mind -- especially those that want to lose considerable weight. However, no fitness goal has to feel impossible. That's because, when it comes to getting in shape, even the smallest changes in our diet and lifestyle can start to immediately show up. In return, this pushes us to keep going to achieve even more. Before we know it, we reach our goals. While it's hard work, it's these lifestyle changes and new healthier habits that drive the change we seek. Here are some suggestions on starting small so you can work toward achieving those bigger goals without getting disappointed: Stop Eating Before You Feel Full Eating less is one of many small changes you can make. By taking smaller bites and chewing slowly, you are more likely to eat smaller portions. This is referred to as mindful eating and it helps ensure you don't overeat. “On a scale of one to 10, with one being you’re famished and 10 being you’re Thanksgiving full, stop eating when you’re at a five or six,” said Krieger. Using smaller plates can also help you make [...]

Never Too Old for Exercise or a Personal Trainer

By matthew lein|2017-08-06T21:40:44+00:00August 6th, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on Never Too Old for Exercise or a Personal Trainer

If you think you are too frail or have too many issues that prevent you from exercising because of your age, think again. Age is only a number. There are people out there that prove that every day and can do more than someone half their age in terms of endurance, strength, and flexibility. Researchers have studied older people who exercise and find this type of movement to be the best kind of medicine that helps keep their bodies in peak condition, helping to then ward off certain conditions that other older people who are sedentary have. Exercise is also a great way to stay social. Many older people begin to become isolated. However, those that come into our gym have made great friends and often spend a long time here, enjoying the company and atmosphere. They also become great mentors and role models for younger people at the gym, motivating them to keep going. After all, no one wants to be outdone by someone on an exercise that is decades older than them! While you may at first feel intimidated, thinking the gym is for the young, we're pretty sure that your young at heart personality makes you a [...]

Our fitness center prepares you for the upcoming football season at your local high school or university.

Personal Training Focuses on Individual Needs

By matthew lein|2017-07-27T15:20:52+00:00July 27th, 2017|Fitness|Comments Off on Personal Training Focuses on Individual Needs

One of the main reasons you should consider personal training is the ability to benefit from a focus on your individual needs. Every YouTube video workout or exercise program available on DVD is made for the masses. While these may offer some benefit for you, they are not customized to meet your own goals. For example, although you may be able to potentially lose weight from regular use of these videos, you will not be able to address other needs like toning, speed, strength, flexibility, endurance or sports-specific training. Not everyone is made the same or responds the same way to exercise. There are so many factors that come into it, including age, gender, current weight, and overall lifestyle not to mention previous injuries, surgeries, or life events. All contribute to where you are now and how you get to where you want to be with your fitness goals. Complimentary Session However, working with a personal trainer could include one or more of these individual goals as part of your custom personal training program. We start out with a free one-hour session in order to get to know you and what you are looking to achieve from working out. We [...]

Time to Get Ready for Fall High School and College Sports

By matthew lein|2017-07-16T19:31:08+00:00July 16th, 2017|Uncategorized|Comments Off on Time to Get Ready for Fall High School and College Sports

While you may still be in the midst of your summer vacation, the start of school is not that far away, which means fall sports tryouts for your high school or college team. This is the time where you want to be upping your game in terms of your strength, endurance, speed, balance, and flexibility -- some more than others, depending on the sport you are playing this fall. Typically, the fall school sports season includes cross-country running, football, and sometimes volleyball. That doesn't mean you can't also start working on your skills for upcoming sports like basketball in the winter and baseball in the spring. For football, for example, it's all about speed, agility, and strength. Maybe you are already taking a sports summer camp at one of the local high schools like Roswell High School. While they definitely teach you some of the skills you need for football, you also need to work on your own conditioning program. That's where we come in as personal trainers that specialize in sports training programs for football, baseball, and many other sports. We help train your cardiovascular and muscle system to operate at peak performance so you can win at tryouts [...]

The Benefits of a Personal Trainer

By matthew lein|2017-07-11T16:39:55+00:00July 11th, 2017|Personal Training|Comments Off on The Benefits of a Personal Trainer

Maybe you are still on the fence about whether or not to use a personal trainer for your fitness and health goals. Or, you might have heard that personal trainers offer sports training programs. To help you see why you should sign-up with our personal trainers, I've put together a list of benefits to convince you why it can help you: Educational Benefits We do more than just show you what to do. Any video can do that. Where personal trainers make the difference is that we educate you on how to exercise, what it does for you, and the other ways you can improve your health and well-being. That includes information throughout our personal training sessions that focus on nutrition, sleep, lifestyle choices, and work-life balance. The education also includes teaching our clients why certain exercises are more effective for certain goals than others. For example, if you want to build strength, doing just cardio is not going to allow you to accomplish that goal. Our education is also intended to make you self-sufficient and safe so you don't get injured. Proper Form for Maximum Results While there are mirrors everywhere in gyms it doesn't mean you know if [...]
