Everybody’s needs are different—from improved cardiovascular health to increased muscle tone, our approach is not simply to act as a “trainer” but as a guide, helping you to understand your own body in order to see your desired results in a safe and timely fashion. No matter where you are on the spectrum of fitness—whether you are just beginning your quest for a healthier life and better body, are a regular gym-goer who wants to push yourself to the next level of physical discipline, or are an athlete in search of an extra edge in your regimen—we pride ourselves on an approach that is studious, rigorous, and which yields quantifiable results. Three examples of different types of clients on the spectrum (but not limited to such clients alone) (note that each aspires to the next level):
Some examples of the many different types of clients we work with…
- (1) The Novice: The Novice hasn’t spent much time in the gym and wants to lose 15 pounds. We examine her movements, flexibility, and diet, and figure out that the Novice is consuming 2000 calories daily when she only needs 1300. In order to reach the deficit in calories consumed so the Novice can shed her unwanted pounds, we prescribe a nutritional regimen so that the Novice will understand the caloric value and make better food choices, as well as low-impact, fundamental foundation exercises, and maybe even cycling—exercises that will not stress the joints while providing the exercise necessary to lose weight.
- (2) The Active Client: The Active Client plays tennis, goes skiing, and works out regularly at the gym, but for some reason, he just can’t seem to achieve the muscle tone he wants. After filming his normal exercises and analyzing his movements, we strap his heart monitor on to make sure he remains in his peak training zones for caloric expenditure, and have him work with TRX Cables, Kettlebells, and some Pilates training.
- (3) The Athlete: The Athlete loves tennis, and plays every day, but finds that he fatigues quickly by the end of his matches. After observing his heart rate and metabolism, we guide him through a regimen of energy system training—lateral training with ropes, TRX Cables, and footwork drills—to improve his cardiovascular strength so his body grows accustomed to prolonged bouts of activity.
