We make exercise doable within your lifestyle.  Studies show that even 10 minutes a day can make a huge difference.  I’ll help you build a base using short bouts of exercise. My clients are often surprised at the results they get from small consistent efforts.
 
I create the program using what you have available.  At times I may suggest that you purchase certain items, but if you don’t want to, I work around it.  I’m very creative!

Yes, I offer personal training as part of my premier package.  Not on the premier package, you can purchase personal training separately. Anyone enrolled in any of our courses get a 20% discount on all personal training services. 

 
I can accommodate any eating plan.  Our registered-dietitian-created plans ensure that all recommendations and meal plans accommodate your special needs, requests and goals.
 
The answer is definitely no.  We believe that the only real way to be healthy and reach goals, whether that means losing or gaining weight or just eating to increase energy, is to eat real food that you enjoy.  I will help you figure out how to incorporate your favorite foods into a healthy eating plan.  I may tweak a recipe or two to make it healthier, but not any less tasty.  Also, I have a 10 percent cheat rule that my clients love.
 
I create anywhere, anytime, workouts.  So, if you want to know exactly what to do when you are at the gym, I will incorporate that into your plan complete with video tutorials on each recommended exercise.
 

No worries!  I’m here for you every step of the way and will help you get set up and comfortable.  Many of my clients are initially a little bit skeptical of an online program but learn how to navigate it very quickly and enjoy the flexibility it provides. 

You must get cleared by your physician, and I will work within the parameters set by your doctor.  I’m also happy to communicate with your physician at no extra charge.
 
No problem.  I’ll create an arm workout for you.  Whatever you need, I’ll make it happen. Also, if there are certain exercises that don’t work for you, we will find substitutions.  I’ve been personal training for over 20 years and there are thousands of exercises to choose from so I’ll find a workout for each client that is fun and effective.
 
Honestly, everyone is different.  The beauty of my program is that we will have an in-depth meeting and once I learn all about you we can set realistic goals.
