FAQs
Interested in learning more? Here are a number of frequently asked questions I've received. I've tried including a comprehensive variety, but if you still have questions please get in touch and I’ll answer them ASAP.
Please review before starting fitness program.
What types of home fitness equipment do you use?
In addition to body weight exercises, we work out with free weights using barbells and dumbbells. We also train with a variety of resistance equipment such as bands, suspension straps, equalizer bar, swiss-ball, balance board, ab rollers, and many more.
How are you different from a regular trainer at a gym?
Do you struggle with figuring out what to do in the gym or how to create a workout for yourself? If so, my classes are designed to introduce you to the fundamental movements involved in strength training and corrective flexibility. My goal is to teach you how to properly perform movements to ensure an efficient and safe workout. My class will also introduce you to different types of equipment as well as alternative ways to use the equipment. I believe in finding the pleasurable side of fitness; and while there may be a sore muscle or two along the way, the benefits of fitness are worth the discomfort. I have developed my training regime by working with a variety of women, and always love adapting my program to new clients. The maximum people per group in 6. Small Group Training offers the best of both Group Exercise and Personal Training.

What do I need to bring?
All you need to bring is water. I am fully equipped with gloves, yoga mats, lifting belts, and knee supports if you require the assistance.
Can I bring my children?
Because of the limited space and safety concerns, while working with heavy weights, I do not recommend any children in the training area.
How many days per week do I need to work out?
Depending on your health and fitness goals, I recommend that you commit to a minimum of 3 days of exercise each week to see results. Any fewer than that and each workout will feel like you're starting all over again each and every time.
What should I eat before a workout?
Ideally, you should have some form of fuel in your system before you work out. Eating an easily digested carbohydrate an hour or so before you workout to ensures that you'll have enough energy to get through your workout. Try fruit and yogurt or toast and peanut butter; not too much or you'll feel sluggish and heavy.
If, however, you exercise first thing in the morning, eating before your workout may not be an option. Many people find that they can tolerate cardio on an empty stomach, but need fuel to get through a strength training session. Experiment with the types of food and the timing of your pre-workout meal to discover what works best for you.
Why can't I just do cardio?
While cardio training is great for building strong hearts and lungs, it doesn't provide the stimulus your body needs to build bigger, stronger muscles and bones. Why? Our bodies adapt quickly to the loads we ask them to move; unless you're gaining weight, your legs will always be subject to the same load and moving that load through the same, limited range of motion.
Adding strength training to your program allows you to (1) increase the load on your legs, (2) change the range of motion you move your joints through and (3) target muscles that you don't typically use during cardiovascular training.
This doesn't mean we will never do cardio. We do spurts of cardio during our warm-ups and pre-strength training circuits.
How quickly will I see the results of my training?
Expect to FEEL the results of your training sooner than you SEE them. People who start a new exercise program and are consistent in getting their workouts done typically report improvements in sleep, mood and energy levels within two to three weeks. Changes in body composition often take longer to notice; the more consistent you are with your workouts and the closer you stick to your nutrition plan, the sooner the results will become noticeable.
