Introduction: My name is Nick Gallardo, and I am a personal trainer residing in Peoria, IL.
I am an ACE certified personal trainer with a bachelor's degree in kinesiology from Illinois State University. During my time at ISU, I participated in Division I football and track while completing my degree.
I am open to working with a variety of people in a variety of environments. I am well-versed in hypertrophy (muscle growth), weight loss, and beginner's weight training. I am comfortable giving nutritional advice to clients as long as they understand that I am not a registered dietitian, and that my advice is based on my past education history as well as topics that I have researched independently.
I am currently a trainer at a health club in Peoria, and I would prefer to have clients train there, as I am familiar with the equipment/operations there. I know this is not feasible for all, so I would be willing to travel to homes/businesses in order to meet clients' needs.
If in-person training is financially not feasible, or there are scheduling conflicts that do not allow for proper training, I do offer online personal training.
The benefits of online personal training are the following:
- More cost-effective than in-person personal training
- Ability to complete workouts when you would like
- E-mail support with me
- Weekly check-ins and updates
Online personal training is a good option for those who prefer the comfort of their own gym and may not be able to afford in-person personal training.
