Personal Trainer Overview
I believe in client/trainer communication. I believe goals will be reached, and surpassed by how well the client and trainer communicate with one another. My philosophy is to positively impact my students with encouragement, motivation, constructive criticism, instruction and team work. I am readily available to my students for any questions they might have or help that they might need and am always willing to give my students the best of my time and talents. I am a good listener and take my clients' needs and concerns very seriously when designing their nutritional and training programs. I am never negative or demeaning. I am never sarcastic or harsh. I am firm, I am positive and I am patient.
Training Philosophy
My theories on training are very simple... listen to the client, find out what they want and need and make their training something that pushes them, but that they also enjoy. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement, strong encouragement, and energetic motivation. I believe in patience, and consistency, always lifting my client up and helping them to feel strong and confident. I specialize in weight training, nutritional support, cardio work, sport specific training and working with beginning students. What motivates me in training others is the smiles on their faces when they have reached even the smallest of goals.. the increases confidence and self esteem that my clients' gain when they are training hard and are realizing just how wonderful they truly are. I am all about building self belief , self esteem and belief in others. I love to help, I love to encourage, and I love to make people happy and give them hope and faith in themselves. That is what drives me to be a trainer.
