Personal Trainer Overview
Training Philosophy
Bio
Since every person is different, you will receive personal attention to your training. People vary in their age, build and previous experience and this requires their training to take these variances into account. Although I use a general template when developing training programs, the training sessions will be different in one way or another for each person.
I have competed in powerlifting. In powerlifting form is extremely important., Having poor form results either in a failed lift or injury. When I work with clients I stress proper form to aid in progress and avoid injury.
I am certified by NSCA (National Strength and Conditioning Assocation, www.nsca.com)
WHAT TYPE OF TRAINING SHOULD YOU EXPECT
Because the time we spend together training is relatively short (sessions last about 1 hour 15 or so) the best and most efficient way to make progress in this short time is by using the three primary movements and then movements that support the primary.
What are three primary movements?
1. SQUAT. Yes, those. Highly effective on increasing leg strength and balance. Strengthens core. Increases resting metabolism to aid in fat loss. Women get a well shaped behind (and guys too).
2. BENCH PRESS. Builds and firms chest. Works triceps, some shoulders.
3. DEADLIFT. I will evaluate you to make sure it is appropriate for you to perform the movement. The deadlift works about 80% of your body. It develops a strong back, also works the legs, trapezius, posterior chain. They also make you stand really, really straight so it's great for posture. Also raises resting metabolism to burn fat.
The typical session will contain one of the primary movements, then other movements that support the primary. This may be done with free weights or by using machines. This has been proven to be very effective with clients making big improvements and rapid results. You will like what you see. And we'll make it fun.
