1. Why should I hire a personal trainer?
|
Motivation
More people decide to invest in Personal Training for motivation
over every other reason. It is about staying motivated and on
track to feeling and being healthier. Our Personal Trainers
help you move past self-imposed limitations, stimulate a feeling
of accomplishment in you, and help you achieve goals that you
never thought possible.
Results Studies have clearly shown
that people who work with a Personal Trainer will achieve up
to 80% better results three times faster than on their own.
Personal Training is just that - personal! Every session is unique
to your body type, needs, goals, and the time frame in which you
wish to achieve your results. Fitness is constantly evolving and Personal
Trainers are required to stay on the cutting edge in terms of upgrading
their certifications and knowledge base. This means that your Personal
Trainer will be your best resource for knowing how to help you achieve your goals.
Safety
Trying to do too much too soon can cause injuries and timely
setbacks. By creating a safe and effective individualized
program, your Personal Trainer will direct your progression
and observe each exercise to ensure proper biomechanical
principles are being followed, thus minimizing the risk of
injury. Similarly, your Personal Trainer will fashion your workouts
to help prevent or even alleviate health problems.
Accountability A Personal Trainer
makes it easier for you to exercise consistently and helps you
stay committed to your program. When you have a scheduled
appointment and a smiling face waiting for you at the gym, you are
a lot less likely to skip a workout. Also, with so much time and
energy invested in helping you achieve your goals, you will be expected
to put forth a good effort and perform to the best of your ability.
Giving less than 100% effort is not an option for you!
Affordability Our various
payment options makes Personal Training affordable for any
budget. Choose a customized payment plan to meet your financial
needs. Come in today for more details.
2. Why do you require completion of a fitness
assessment and, in some cases, written clearance from a physician before I can begin a training program?
|
Your safety is paramount and will not be
compromised. All new clients must undergo a Fitness
Assessment, and if your Fitness Consultant deems it necessary,
you may need to obtain written clearance from a physician.
3. Do I have to follow the pre-consultation instructions?
|
In order for your assessment results to be
accurate it is essential that you pay close attention to the
instructions in your consultation journal. For example, caffeine
will elevate your resting heart rate and will negatively effect
your cardiovascular assessment and recovery score. In addition,
if you exercise or are fatigued prior to your consultation, you
will certainly not fair as well in terms of your strength and
endurance results.
4. How can I ensure the best experience for my Fitness Consultation?
|
The first step is to ensure that your consultation journal
is completed honestly and thoroughly. This will enable your Consultant to
identify health risks, physical limitations as well as the key goals and areas
you wish to focus on. Secondly, arrive at your appointment at least 15-20
minutes early, with your journal, so that you have time to change into your
workout gear and be in the waiting area prior the arrival of your Consultant.
Your Consultant will need an hour to an hour and a half to go over your journal,
complete the assessments, take you out onto the workout floor and then prepare
your prescription. Keep an open mind and ask your Consultant to explain anything
that you don't understand or are unsure of. Make sure you receive the best
possible recommendation to achieve your results.
5. Why is it necessary to do four consultations? Isn't one enough?
|
Although one consultation is a good start to find out
where you stand in terms of your level of fitness and your exercise
knowledge, it is only a starting point. There is no pass or fail but
simply a benchmark to see where you are starting from and where you
should be going. Having one assessment without anything to compare it
to takes away from the total value of the service. Isn't it nice to
know that your training efforts and the program you are using are
actually getting you to your goals? And if they're not, wouldn't you
want to have someone readjust your program or at least put you back
on track. It's easy to plateau and your scale at home is not usually
the best way to indicate how you are doing.

8. How do I schedule my personal training sessions?
|
After deciding how many sessions per week you will
be training, you will select an available timeslot that fits your
schedule as well as your personal trainer's schedule, and which will
usually remain constant. If you request 2-3 sessions per week, you can
select additional timeslots and these timeslots will remain constant
for the duration of your sessions. You can switch timeslots at any
time provided your personal trainer has an available timeslot which
better accommodates your schedule.
9. What is the cancellation and refund policy?
|
12 hours notice is required to cancel or
re-schedule a health and fitness consultation. Failure to give
notice will result in a forfeited payment and session.
