Personal Trainer Overview
Training Philosophy
We test! If you are motivated enough to train with us, you'll get better and we can prove it. Our comprehensive testing batteries are designed with evidence-based tests and conducted by qualified testers to ensure the accuracy of your results. We re-test monthly so that you can see your progress!
We program! We don't just throw workouts together without thought of our clients. We design our workouts to make sense, not just within the workout, but long-term as well.
We don't over specify or over-generalize. Over-specialization by training just one way or training with one type of equipment doesn't help you achieve our goals. Conversely, over-generalizing can also delay success. Throughout the program, you'll use barbells dumbbells, bumper weights, stability balls, medicine balls, bands, and more!. At FSP, we believe a well-rounded and focused program is the key to achieving quantifiable results, inside and outside the facility.
Lastly, our coaches make us different. Our coaches are degreed, certified and experienced. That means they have a minimum of a bachelors degree in an exercise science-related field. It means they passed a grueling exam from an accredited certification. It means that they were vetted and have the experience necessary to meet our high standard. In other words, you're in good hands.
