Evaluation & Consultation
All clients receive an initial evaluation. This evaluation clarifies one's current state and identifies specific characteristics that may influence the design and implementation of a training program. All of this information, coupled with a discussion of goals and expectations, allows an exercise prescription to be determined. The subsequent consultation provides recommendations on how to most appropriately begin an exercise program or modify an existing one.
Program Design
As humans, we share many of the same qualities. However, we all possess specific traits and characteristics that make each of us a unique individual. This is one of the reasons for the desirability of individualization; especially when it comes to exercise. If adhered to, individualized training programs result in measurable improvements to one's health, fitness, and performance while respecting one's unique characteristics, needs and goals.
Personal Training
The value of one-on-one training is in the supervision and undivided attention that an expert coach provides. An expert coach can help troubleshoot any abnormal training response and determine the seriousness of the occasional discomfort that may be associated with exercise and training. Also, with thorough one-on-one coaching, one will become better educated on the principles behind good exercise habits, technique, and learn how and when to progress, regress or modify.
Online Coaching
Online coaching is the best option if distance doesn't permit in-person personal training or one is confident in training without direct supervision but would like an individualized training program to follow. After the online evaluation, I will design then explain the details of how to safely and effectively execute the program. Subsequent sessions can vary in format and purpose; from remotely supervised full training sessions to phone calls where we simply discuss the program and any potential progressions or modifications that need to be made. Online coaching utilizes any means necessary including phone calls, text messages, emails, and video demonstrations.
