FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes! I stay abreast with fitness related information through the IDEA Health & Fitness Association Journal. I also participate in workshops in regards to using various equipment in new and innovative ways, such as the Free Motion Fitness Equipment, Gravity Group Training, and TRX.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
The most important advice that I could give to a potential client is to find out whether the trainer is certified and, if so, with whom. Check to see whether the trainer's certification NCCA accredited, such as ACE, ACSM, NSCA, and NASM. In addition, find out how the trainer can tailor a program for your individual needs. Often times, trainers fall victim to producing the one-size-fits-all program, thereby neglecting the client's individual needs. Your trainer should be able to provide sound reasoning for why you a performing a certain number of repetitions for a workout, why your rest times are as short as 30 seconds or as long as 5 minutes, and so on.
