FAQS
Need to Know
ARE 30 & 45-MINUTE WORKOUTS EFFECTIVE?
Yes, many studies have been done to prove exercising for an hour or longer is not necessary in order to be fit. If exercising for that long is your thing, great. Most people, though, don't have the time to exercise for an hour four-six days a week. Half-hour and 45-minute sessions keep you moving, you'll see the workout passes quickly. It's perfect for people that are short on time.

WHAT IS YOUR APPROACH TO EXERCISE?
My aim is to help you make exercise a habit that you include into your life. Unlike some personal trainers that would like to see their clients three or four times a week, I'm all about diversity. If someone comes to me and exercise is not a part of their life, I do recommend seeing me two times a week, but I also suggest that they try to get in a walk a couple times a week. Even if you have just 10 minutes, walk - move your arms when walking and try and go at a good pace. That's a real easy way to get into the habit of exercising.
HOW LONG DO YOUR CLIENTS TEND TO STAY WITH YOU?
That differs. I like to empower clients to be able to go out and exercise on their own. I've had clients purchase just one package (10 sessions) and they've come to me because they belong to a gym and they want to expand their workouts from just using machines to using dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells. Some are not sure about how many sets and reps they should do or proper technique. Most of my clients, though, know what to do when in a gym, but they struggle to get to the gym. It's accountability - they have their assigned day and time with me and because of that they show up for their workout. I've had clients that have been with me for years and they see me once or twice a week.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU ACCEPT?
I accept check, cash, Venmo, PayPal, Zelle and credit card. If you use PayPal, Venmo or a credit card, a small transaction fee will be charged.
ARE YOU A SETS AND REPS TRAINER?
I am not into sets and reps all that much. Yes, I do sets and reps from time to time, but mostly I am a timer-based trainer. Those times will differ from workout to workout (e.g. :40 of exercise to :20 rest or :30 of exercise to :15 rest). I try to keep the workout moving and a timer helps with that. I do, on occasion, have a sets and reps workout and I am willing to do more sets and reps workout sessions if a client prefers that.
