Introduction

I listen to my clients! That is a huge part of really helping them. They know their bodies more than we do so we have to listen to them in regards to injuries, etc then implement a program that fit their needs. Also, I don’t use the drill sergeant tactics, that’s not my personality. There are other ways to motivate without being aggressive. I create a new workout every time we train to prevent boredom and progress. I am available via phone, email or text anytime they have a question or concern. I love helping people learn to live a healthy lifestyle. When they can take something that I have taught them and they use it for the rest of their lives then I know I did my job. Health is the most important thing a person can have. And if they have optimum health, that can lead to a wonderful life. And helping people achieve that makes me love what I do.

Sandy has changed my belief about personal trainers. I had been with a trainer for a little over two years. She was a drill sergeant. I dreaded every session, and thought that training HAD to be that way. Then fate brought Sandy into my life....and poof, my whole perception of training changed! Like she says, she LISTENS to your needs. If you're not feeling well, or feel like you're being challenged accesively, she will cut back. I HATE working out with a passion, but I come down with a smile on my face when sandy comes over, because I know I'll have a workout that won't leave me dead, like with my previous trainer. And guess what? I'm actually seeing results! I lost a few pounds with my previous trainer, but mainly was maintaining my weight. With Sandy, I have lost, and keep loosing, because of her style, and her education, and her beautiful personality. My high school best friends and I meet yearly at the San Antonio winery. Please look at my picture above on this profile....keep going to the right, and you will see my before and after. Im a 40 year old woman, in the best shape of my life. Thank you, Sandy.

I am loving my personal trainer. She is kind, encouraging, and best of all, comes to my house. I say best of all b/c I would not be able to stick with it if I had to go to a gym. Sandy makes the workouts fly by and fun. I have never had that feeling of a workout “high,” in fact, quite the opposite, I think I have workout anger. I have never felt the anger when I have worked out with Sandy. She is helping me reach my goals without my dreading her visits.

Sandy is the best! She very easygoing and doesn't push you until you break like other trainers. She enforces healthy habits and is very flexible when it comes to scheduling.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I don't do contracts, however, my payments are either weekly or monthly. The client has a choice between the two. I try to keep my rates competitive. Travel to their location is included in the rate.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will ask them a series of questions so I can get to know their needs. Once I have that information, I can custom create a program that matches their goal. During our first session, I will have the client sign a few forms (waiver/cancellation policy), next I will take their measurements. With follow ups every month unless the client prefers to measure more frequently. I do not believe in the scale as I focus on how the client feels and inches lost.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am an ACE Certified trainer. I also do ongoing education to continue to grow and be the best Personal Trainer possible.
