Goals
Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: The top responses I have received from my clients on what makes me stand out vs. the other trainers they have worked with is. I focus on their form and technique. I also get to know their individual situation and build a fitness program based on not only what they want but also reference their health history. I am very reliable, flexible, and caring. One thing that I can say is; I am truly passionate about sharing my knowledge and helping others improve their quality of life. I like watching my clients achieve their goals; The moment they can see and feel that they have accomplished something so big in their life is the most rewarding part of my job. I also enjoy sharing my knowledge with them so they can learn the proper way to work out and change their quality of life no matter what age, limitation, or goal they have set.

I just finished my 8th training session with Derek and did not hesitate to sign up for 24 more. Not only is Derek a master of his craft, he is passionate about ensuring you get the most out of every minute spent training with him. He takes the time to answer questions, will walk you through the workouts as many times as needed, will ensure your form is perfect and encourages you every step of the way. Working with Derek has been the best investment I've made for myself. I'd encourage anyone on the fence to at least give his free trial a shot. You won't regret it!

Derek is great, he embodies the motivation I do not have on my own sometimes. He has that coach mentality, super encouraging to give it your all and makes sure your form is perfect which is super important! I appreciated his high energy and his passion for his clients! I knew from our first call that he was on my side and ready to help me achieve my goals in a gym.

So far so great. Derek came to my home and works with my busy schedule to accommodate me and make sure I'm going to hit my fitness goals. He makes working out fun yet challenging. He is easy to talk to and really listens to what I'm trying to accomplish. He is knowledgeable and I am confident I will continue to use his services as well as reccomened him to others.

Derek is awesome to work with. He keeps me on track and makes working out enjoyable. I have always had knee issues and he has been excellent in working with me in preventing any injuries. I would definitely recommend him even if you're a beginner on your fitness journey like me.

I've worked with Derek for the past eight months and found him to be really easy to talk to and extremely supportive of my goals. Finding a trainer can sometimes be difficult or intimidating for an out of shape person, but Derek always put me at ease and made me feel like I was always worth the effort and time. He's always very patient with me and all my questions trying to understand the process of weight training and fitness. Derek focuses on form and technique and is concerned about the health and safety of his clients as well as working around any injuries or ailments you may have. Basically, Derek genuinely cares about his clients and it shows each time he works with you.

FAQs

  • How did you get started doing this type of work?

    I have always had an interest in working out and have done so since a young kid. As I got older I decided that I wanted to learn more about the human body and the correct way to work out. Once I started school I had realized that most people working out did not know how the science behind exercise worked. I knew from then on that I wanted to spread my knowledge and truly make a difference in the quality of other peoples lives.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    Most common would be; -Weight Loss -Rehabilitation Training -Weight/Muscle Gain -Beginner to Advance Fitness -Firming and toning -Flexibility -Aerobic Fitness -Endurance Training -Body Building -Nutrition

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    Make sure you ask a lot of questions. There are a lot of "personal trainers" with lack of certifications, and knowledge. Don't think just because they are in shape they know how to provide individualized training. Also just a heads up, in the state of Arizona you do not have to be certified, or hold a degree in personal training to work at a gym or provide services.
