What if I'm too busy to exercise on a regular basis?

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.

Do I need exercise equipment?

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!

Can I do your program at the gym?

Yes! We have a mobile app. You tell me what equipment you have to work with and I create the program accordingly.

Do I have to sign a contract?

No contracts ever! No hidden fees ever!

Do you offer virtual personal training?

Absolutely! This is included in my premier package.

Do you offer personal training?

What if I follow a special diet like vegan, vegetarian, or ketogenic diet?

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.

Am I required to eat certain foods?

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.

What if I already belong to a gym?

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.

What if I'm not comfortable with apps, computers, and technology?

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.

What if I have medical issues?

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.

What if I just want to work arms?

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.

How much weight can I expect to lose in a month?

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.

Why is this program going to work when others haven’t?

My one-of-a-kind interactive video assessment gives me the information I need to create a workout that is right for your body. I also adjust your program along the way as your needs and body change. And, if you request, I will confer with your physician, physical therapist or chiropractor at no extra charge.
