Introduction: My Training Style:
You know the saying “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it”? Well, I couldn’t agree more! That is why the core of my training philosophy is based on fundamental and functional exercises that have been proven to give results. I don’t believe it’s necessary to have a bunch of complicated or fancy equipment in order to get a good workout. I train from my own streamlined, home gym, and by doing so, am able to give my clients effective and affordable workouts! Also, as a busy wife, mother, and business owner, I understand the value of my clients’ time. I know it can be overwhelming to try and budget hours and hours each week to a workout regimen. By using circuits, supersets, plyometrics and active rests I give my clients a complete and comprehensive workout with each session. My workouts will NOT waste any of your valuable time and WILL make you sweat. I teach my clients these principles so they can continue to apply them to the rest of their personal workout sessions. By doing so, they can see optimal results in LESS time. But perhaps, most importantly, I believe that fitness should be FUN! If you dread your workouts, feel uncomfortable in the gym or don’t understand what you’re doing and why, you won’t stick with it. I address each of these issues by tailoring workouts to each individual client based on their specific needs and preferences.
My Nutrition Plans:
I know the terms “Holistic” and “Paleo” can sound a little strange and complex (let’s be real, they sound weird). But my views on nutrition are actually quite simple. I believe that the food you eat directly affects how you feel and by eating real, whole food you can drastically improve your health, fitness and state of mind. I know how confusing it is in our culture today when it comes to making choices about what we eat. Not only is there an overabundance of conflicting information about what’s “good” or “bad” to eat, but then you’re bombarded with enticing imagery and marketing for the “bad” foods and meanwhile you’re still not sure exactly which foods are actually “good”. Then factor in time, budget, personal tastes, family and friend influences… No wonder the drive-thru is so appealing. I completely understand and the last thing I want to do is make your life even MORE complicated. This is why I meet you exactly where you are currently with your diet AND lifestyle. I provide education that’s easy to understand as well as tactics and strategies to begin implementing food choices that will propel you toward your health goals. I could just crunch some numbers, spit out a calorie budget and tell you which foods to eat within that budget and you would probably see results. But that wouldn’t honor YOU as a person and you probably wouldn’t stick to that plan for very long. You are more than a number and your diet should reflect that. Deprivation and restriction simply DO NOT work for 99% of people. But eating clean, nutrient dense food that you actually enjoy and works with your lifestyle DOES work. And I can show you how to do so!
I love the interaction I have with clients and watching their hard work pay off!
