What is your training style:Most of our training is void of machines and incorporates ground-based, multi-joint movements. We use simple body weight or external loads with progressive intensities, all in a modality rich environment useing infinite diversity in infinite combinations. It's a buffet style approach that not only prevents boredom, but also serves as a contingency plan for life's random demands.We believe the value and efficacy of this type of training is unsurpassed.
Why should a client train with you:We consider ourselves to be a formidable niche player, and prudent alternative, to a landscape cloned with franchise fitness and rent-a friend trainers. Our relevance in this overcrowded industry is testament to our core principles of service, results and value and the passion that drives them.
We also want to make sure that you are comfortable with our product, so we offer a "test drive" of three free sessions to all our prospective clients.No strings!
In general, please describe your experience:Over the years my clients have ranged from a 14 year-old soccer player,to a 31 year-old F.B.I. agent, to a 63 year-old woman with multiple sclerosis. I have also worked in the corporate fitness setting for AT&T and Dunn & Bradstreet. From 1966-1999 I was Personal Training Manager at Fitness Unlimited in Morristown, New Jersey. While there, I was named "Personal Trainer of The Year" in 1996. In 1997 I formally established tgfit, a multifaceted fitness training service.
What in your opinion is the biggest mistake people make while working out:Learning the proper technique.I see it all the time in commercial facilities.Guys trying to push too much weight so they can satisfy their egos at the expense of their bodies!Technique is critical, so loads/forces are transferred through the body correctly and you can avoid injury.It's all about progression and adaptation.I like to think of it like this: Would you really want to build a house on a weak foundation?
