My approach.
Learn how to build consistency
Starting out?
First off, kudos for taking the next step into your fitness journey! For clients getting back into a fitness routine or starting training for the first time, I recommend 2-3 sessions per week. This will help you develop the self-efficacy to confidently perform the programmed workouts independently on days we don’t have a scheduled session.
Already into fitness, but looking to add some variety?
For clients who already have a baseline comfort level with common exercises and properly using simple equipment, it can make sense to reduce sessions to 1-2 times a week. We will assess together at our first few sessions to make sure you are practicing with proper form and make any adjustments necessary. I’m also available to use as a resource between sessions for any questions, so at no point will you be going it alone!
Equipment you can expect to use.
By design, most of my programmed workouts can be performed with minimal equipment. My on-site workouts will include a mix of strength, plyometric, resistance, and cardio training using dumbbells, medicine balls, slam balls, stability balls, kettlebells, sliders, plyo boxes, a variety of resistance bands, a rower, and an echo bike. For your part, small investments in a set of moderate weight dumbbells, a medicine ball or kettlebell, a good set of resistance bands, and a mat will allow you to perform programmed workouts at home in between sessions. Recovery is also key so add a foam roller to your list of solid investments!
Flexibility in workout logistics.
To address one of the biggest barriers in starting a fitness routine — time management — we will determine upfront what workout logistics (location, time of day, virtual or in-person, etc.) fit your needs best and adhere to those.
Once you get started, enjoying your workout is the name of the game; an enjoyed workout routine will become a repeated workout routine. Together we’ll learn what drives you and feed that energy!
