Jumping J.A.C.'s

Your success is going to depend on you finding the right match in terms of personality, competence, approach and setting (if not virtual). If you're looking for a highly qualified coach/trainer in a private setting or virtual read on. 1. Setting: Private setting-For the last 10 years I have been offering private personal training out of my in-home studio. My studio has a big bay window in the front (good natural light), is fully equipped, floors are matted (good to reduce joint stress). Some people are not comfortable training at a commercial gym where it feels like everyone is watching. If that's you, this would be your ideal setting or try my virtual option. 2. Competence- In the exercise world there is no law that sets a minimum standard of education nor competence for someone to call themselves a trainer nor to offer personal/fitness training services. So, this is not to toot my own horn but simply to illustrate my competence. In the interest of being direct I would say I am one of the most qualified trainers/coaches in the area. I hold a master's degree in exercise science, as well as the industry's top certifications (google NSCA CSCS). I also teach personal training at various community colleges to aspiring personal trainers and have been published by the Reader's Digest, Medfit Network, Exercise.com, and MyFitnesspal to name a few. I've had many experiences such as having been a head trainer at a commercial gym, an exercise physiologist at a long-term care facility, an exercise science instructor, among others. The point I'm trying to make is, you will be in good hands. 3. Personality and Approach: I take a collaborative approach. While I am a former US Marine, yelling and acting crazy typically does not help those in the civilian population lol. I will push you when you need pushed but I have the experience to know when to back off. Your exercise and nutrition programs are designed specifically for you. If you have joint pain, chronic conditions or past injuries your trainer/coach should be able to write a program that gets you results and keeps you safe.
