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 [...]

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 [...]

While we love that you signed up for personal training, we want you to know that you could do even more than meet with us once or more per week. Think of your life now as being geared completely around fitness. That means taking advantage of the homework assignments are personal trainers dole out. That’s right, you have homework. We will provide you with workouts you can do here and at home on your own time when you don’t have an appointment with us. These workout homework assignments are tailored to your personal objectives for fitness. In addition, you can find ways to work in cardio and movement each day regardless of whether you work in an office and sit all day. There are lots of ways to stay active on the job, including taking the stairs, parking farther away in the corporate parking lot or on your errands, doing quick exercises in your cubicle, and using your lunch and coffee breaks to do a quick walk. If you are looking for more variety for meeting your goals outside of our personal training sessions, you should also consider the various types of group classes we offer. It’s a positive and [...]

While we offer personal training for anyone who wants to get in shape, work on their strength, or add definition, we also provide sports-specific personal training for a wide range of sports, including baseball, football, basketball, lacrosse, swimming and more. You may wonder why you would add sports-specific personal training when you make it to every practice and the coach has you doing all types of exercises and plays. Although that is very necessary to helping you do well, many athletes have discovered that the additional training they get from this experience significantly enhances their overall performance. The individual sports-specific personal training programs we put together for you reflects what you will be doing in that sport. For example, if you are a soccer player or football player, we will incorporate a lot of sprinting, twisting, and running not to mention sidestepping. If you are a swimmer, then we would focus on endurance and a greater focus on back, shoulder, and arm muscles. Other sports may require exercises that generate explosive power while still others require greater flexibility and speed or a combination of skills. When looking for a personal trainer that offers sports-specific training, it’s important to find one [...]

Everyone has different needs but all end up with the same overall goal: get the body they want to have. For some that is losing body fat and inches while others want to strengthen and tone. Many also want to feel strong, energetic, and just healthy. That’s where personal training can really make a difference. It can accomplish all those goals for those who commit to working with a personal trainer. The benefits of a personal trainer are that they understand what it takes in terms of exercise and diet to achieve these goals. Anyone can go to the gym and use the equipment but they may not know the best exercises, weight, and repetitions to do that will work for them. Our personal training program starts with a consultative appointment where we learn more about you, your life, and your goals to understand what got you where you are now and what needs to change to get you to where you want to be. We take measurements as well so that we can use these as a benchmark for gauging improvements. From there, we plan a regimen of workouts to do with the trainer and on homework days that [...]

The holidays are one of the busiest times of year for most of us. We may be having extra guests from out of town plus finishing up our work projects before taking time off. Not to mention, there are more errands and tasks to handle than most other parts of the year. When it seems like we have too much going on, we start looking for places to cut back so we can cut through all the stress. One place we immediately seem to pick is the gym and our personal training sessions. This means that are putting ourselves on the back burner, too, so we can still make everyone else happy. In reality, putting off our personal training sessions until after the start of the year can actually add to stress levels, which then can lead to poor choices like dealing with stress through unhealthy food and drink or just overeating. In reality, the exercise sessions that our personal trainers would have put us through could have helped knocked down that stress and assist in dealing with any of the drama or other emotions that seem to pop up at the holiday time. And, you can’t really say you [...]

Whether it’s a sports injury or some other type of need to heal after surgery, you may want to jump right back into your workout regimen but you know you have to go careful so as to not risk re-injury. It also takes time to build up your strength and flexibility again, depending on how much rest you have given that injured area. That’s why it is especially important to work with a personal trainer after an injury because they know how you can slowly get back to your workout routine without hurting yourself again. For example, if you have broken a bone in your bottom half of your body, they can work with you on strength training on your upper body. Then, as you are healed and cleared by a medical practitioner, they can tell you just how many reps or weight can be used on those areas as you recover. While you might be raring to go, your personal trainer can rein you in because they understood when you can do more and start to push on those healing muscles or bones. For example, after a broken ankle, they can put you on low resistance training on a [...]
