FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
As stated before, my initial fitness assessment is complimentary. From then on I train at $45-55 a session based on the frequency I am training a client and how long we've been training. This price is based on what I know I bring to the table with my experience and education, and comparing that price ranges of multiple health clubs of various sizes. For example, you could go to a higher end health club with personal trainers that charge over $80 a session because the club and trainer are sharing that $80 or you could go to a standard box gym that charges $50+ a session but there is no guarantee that the personal trainer you are hiring has their certifications, or whether they have the experience to address your goals, or any experience at all. I am in this to help people and I feel I can work with any persons budget to help them accomplish their goals.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
When working with a new client you can never assume anything. To ensure a client's goals are approached effectively as well as safely, I always start with a complimentary fitness assessment. This fitness assessment includes: a warm up discussing the clients goals and background, a workout assessing the clients overall fitness (cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength and endurance, balance, coordination and flexibility), finishing off the workout with PNF style stretching (proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation), and afterwards sitting down with the client to create a game plan to address their fitness and nutritional needs.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated from the National Personal Training Institute (NPTI) in 2012, at the top of my class and also have an up to date certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. I interned at NPTI for 6 months and then got hired as a trainer at a local health club. I was awarded trainer of the year in 2013 and was promoted to the Fitness Manager, managing the business side of personal training, managing over 10 trainers, and training my own clients. I realized the more I got into management and sales the less I enjoyed what I was doing, so I went into business for myself in 2015, training clients out of my home gym, their homes, apartment complex gyms, etc.
