Why train?



For many people, having a personal trainer or doing individual Pilates sessions seems like a waste of money.  After all, a gym membership or group class is much cheaper.  Walking and running are pretty much free.  Weights are not expensive, and once you buy them, you keep them forever.  So why do it?

• Expertise.  Trainers know how to structure workouts for safety.  We check form.  We tailor exercises to individual needs.

• Accountability.  We’re there so clients have to show up.  Most people, when they pay for something, figure they had better use it.

• Progress.  Trainers keep track of where clients start.  We know when to push a little farther.  We help set goals and plans to achieve them.

• Fun.  Some people truly love weight training.  The rest of us benefit from having someone there to keep us from focusing on how heavy those silly dumbbells are or how much our thighs are going to hurt tomorrow.

It is important to find a trainer who is a good fit.  That is one reason why I offer a free initial assessment and session—I want to make sure that my clients feel like they can work with me comfortably before they commit.  Want to try?
