Personal Training
Typically, I meet clients in their homes or condo exercise rooms - once or several times a week, or even just once a month - where I coach them through their programs. They also do their workouts one to three additional times on their own during the week.
My formula for success:
- Start with clear, simple and measurable goals.
- Practice an enjoyable exercise program that’s challenging without being overwhelming.
- Modify the program gradually. Too many changes create confusion while too few risk boredom.
- Document everything. It’s easy to forget your starting point and motivating to re-live the journey.
- Be sure the workout is both productive and fun!
How we’ll get started:
New clients complete my Client Information Form that tells me about your health, fitness history and goals and a PAR-Q (physical activity readiness questionnaire) that tells me whether you should check with your doctor before we start.
We’ll discuss your goals, and I’ll do some physical assessments to see what other areas need attention. I believe the following components should be included in most exercise programs:
- Overall strength: Strength improves your posture, creates an attractive physique and helps you avoid injuries.
- Core strength: A strong mid-section helps decrease back pain, improves sports performance and creates a trim torso.
- Flexibility: Flexible muscles help prevent injuries and improve your posture.
- Cardiovascular endurance: Activities like running, power walking and cycling burn calories, strengthen your cardio-respiratory system and boost your energy.
- Balance and coordination: Good balance and coordination help you catch yourself if you slip on ice or trip going up stairs.
Please contact me by email or telephone if you’d like to discuss your situation and see if personal training could be the right fit for you.

I look forward to speaking with you!
