Personal Training
Training Philosophy
We aren't going to stand over you yelling and screaming in your face. Our programs are designed for you to challenge yourself at your pace. We base where you start at off of your initial assessments. If you are a first time exerciser, or have taken a long break from the last time you worked out consistently, you are like almost everyone we work with. We aren't here to scare you away, we are here to motivate you to get better and keep you accountable.
Our training is based on you and your goals. It is designed to work hand in hand with your nutrition program to deliver maximum results. We use a mix of strength training, cardio, and plyometric circuit training to keep your workouts efficient and effective. We base your programs on your life and how many days you want to work out during the week.
Scripted Workouts
Most clients will start with 3-5 workouts/week. No matter how many times you decide to work with us on a 1 on 1 basis each week, you will be taught all of your workouts. All workouts will be scripted on easy to read Realfit cards and placed in your individual folder.
So if you only want to see us 1-2 times/week, you will still have your workout cards to hold you accountable that we will review each week. After 4-6 weeks, we do an evaluation and learn all new workouts to avoid falling into a plateau.
Nutrition
You will receive ongoing nutrition counseling and planning as part of the program. We use an online tracking system so we can see when and what you like to eat. From there, we set goals and give you certain things to work on each week. If you can start to put together all of the little things, you can learn how to eat for more energy and fat burning. Once you learn how to eat to burn fat, the workouts become much more effective and you start to become healthier and happier. It’s not about eating less. It’s about eating right! Ask any one of our testimonials and they will most likely tell you they eat more than before they started!
Evaluations
We track weight, body fat %, and inch measurements every 4-6 weeks. When you start to see lbs, fat, and inches drop off, motivation sky rocket and you will have put yourself in position to succeed. We then change all of your workouts and learn new, more challenging ones. You can never let your body adapt to the workouts to the point where they are easy. Your muscles don’t have to work as hard and therefore won’t burn as much fat. This is what is called a plateau.
Busting Plateaus
If you do happen to plateau, our job is to get you out. The quicker you break out of it, the better. A plateau is just your body adapting to what is taking place. We may have to change things like the type of workouts, intensity, eating, muscles being worked together, rest, as well as a variety of other things. There are countless techniques to break through that we will use.
