Frequently Asked Questions

  FAQ's for Personal Training:

Q: what do I wear?
A: wear comfortable clothing you can workout in, such as sweatpants, spandex/cotton mix pants, t-shirt, cotton socks and athletic shoes.  You may also bring a towel and a bottle of water with you, as well as a hair tie (longer hair can make you feel very hot when you work out, or get in your way).


Q: What can I expect during my training session?
A: I collect information about you by both a health history form as well as talking to you before your first session.  I then create a program tailored specifically for you and your goals.  During your session, you will be shown your program, how to correctly perform the exercises, as well as an education about why you are performing the exercises I have given you.  Feel free to ask questions... this is your time!


Q: Will I be sore tomorrow?
A: You may feel some slight soreness in your muscles after the first workout.  However, I make every attempt to ensure you will not be so sore you cannot get out of bed tomorrow or that you curse my name everytime you move.


Q: I used to lift weights, but I got hurt.  What can I do?
A: You can lift again, but you must learn to lift with good form so you do not get hurt again.  Weight lifting should not cause injuries, it should help prevent them.


Q: My joints ached when I used to work out.  Should I still lift weights?
A: Your joints may have ached if you tried to lift too much weight too soon.  If that was not the case, make sure you visit your doctor to rule out other causes.


Q: Other Suggestions.....
A: Good communication between you and me will ensure your journey to health is positive.
