FAQs
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A new client is taken through an assessment workout in which I measure their strength with different movements and exercises. I will then create an exercise plan based on the goals that they want to meet. I provide every client with a Polar watch that measures important factors for progress like heart rate, daily activity, and sleep patterns.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I once had a personal trainer help me about 12 years ago and so I decided to pay it forward by helping a friend. I realized how much I enjoyed helping others achieved their goals by using the knowledge that I had about weight loss and strength gains. I later had an internship through my university helping athletes recover from injuries using different types of exercise modalities.
- Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I recently took on a client that had never in her life lifted a single weight. She had only tried the cardio machines at the gym and had never gone beyond that. I started by introducing her to the basics of proper movement and form. Within a few weeks she was lifting the weights like as if she had been using them for years and was able to progress on her strength goals. She has gone from a beginner to intermediate level within weeks and is starting on advanced movements.
