General Member Information:
My Introduction:
What is your training style?
Since there is no one approach that works for everyone, I believe in addressing each clients specific needs (body fat/weight loss, better health, heightened energy and endurance, enhanced flexibility, etc.). I make the workouts enjoyable and at the same time challenging. I incorporate strength training, cardiovascular training, and flexibility training in each session. I also provide nutritional recommendations so that each client can make healthy food choices.
Why have you become a trainer?
I became a trainer because of my passion for fitness. My goal is to help as many people live a healthy lifestyle. As a Certified Personal Trainer, I am able to use my knowledge and experience to assist people in reaching their fitness goals. It is very rewarding to be part of someone's life that you have made a big difference with. I also enjoy the one-on-one interaction and working with a lot of different people.
What in your opinion is the biggest mistake people make while working out?
The biggest mistake is using too much weight with poor form. The focus should be on learning the proper form so that you can lift more challenging weights and not injure yourself. It should not be how much weight you can lift. The focus should be are you targeting the muscles in the most efficient way. There are a lot of movements that people use momentum from other muscles to do the work instead of the ones that they are targeting. Proper form makes all the difference.
