Christina Jakymiw Fitness Training

Introduction: As both a certified Exercise Physiologist and Strength and Conditioning Specialist, I specialize in beginner weight training, as well as, advanced muscle and strength gain. Whether you are starting from the ground up or looking to elevate your results, we will work together in designing an enjoyable and effective exercise program that leads you to your true potential. I believe it's essential to meet my athletes where they are at and take purposeful steps in the direction of their goals enabling them for success. My role in improving my athletes' quality of life is that of an educator, motivator and designer of personalized fitness programs. I stress the long-term health benefits of improving one's strength, flexibility and cardiovascular fitness which invariably lead to better appearance, positive outlook on life and enhanced self-esteem. I hold a strong belief that physical fitness is a fundamental component to achieving everything else we want in life and I enjoy being able to show people how the effects of exercise can overflow into other aspects of their lives. A client of mine that is a software engineer (36 yrs) came to me because he was tired of living his life behind a computer screen. Spending most of his time working on his computer and his free time playing computer games, he became dissatisfied with the body and life he had developed. He wanted to add muscle to his build and lose body fat. Together we were able to improve his body composition and decrease 7% of his body fat and add 6 lbs of lean muscle mass in 6 months. My client recently went on vacation to Cuba and said he never felt more confident walking on beach revealing muscle tone he never knew he could have. He now has a more positive outlook on life, engages in more social activities, and has fallen in love with fitness as his new hobby.
