Personal Training

Personal training is just that - personal. There is no "one size fits all" approach so part of your personal training session will include an assessment of your readiness for change and lifestyle health history. From the assessment, together we will make a plan with action steps and tools to achieve goals related to nutrition, exercise, mindset, and habits. You will be introduced to concepts like exercise sets and reps, target heart rate and form, and function. Your personal health is an investment we would like to support through empathy, respect, and individualization.
