Individualized to Your Health Needs & Goals

Has the typical gym atmosphere not worked well for you? Try our one-on-one movement and exercise coaching. Sessions are offered in-person and last 50 minutes. These personal training sessions are never focused on aesthetics. There are many other goals we can focus instead of using the body as a measuring stick. Our philosophy is aligned with caring for the person as a whole and finding what movement works well based on your current health needs.

How Do You Help a Client Progress? 

I follow the Function-Health-Fitness-Performance continuum. This is based on the idea that our movement and fitness can be progressed or regressed depending on where we are in regards to our health. Function is the base of all our movement. I work to meet you where you are and help you progress through the different areas as your body is ready. 
Muscular training phases: functional, movement and then load. 
Cardio training phases: base, fitness and then performance. 

​

Exercise Equipment 

I utilize a variety of equipment that you can easily find at your local big box or sporting goods stores.

• Mats

• Resistance tubing and bands

• Dumbbells

• Self-myofascial release tools such as foam rollers

• Chairs

• The wall

• Swiss balls and yoga balls
