What makes you different from other fitness trainers?
When we train, we expect to be early, prepared and warmed up; Get excited to bring all of your intensity into focus for the intense workout and cardio to follow.  One-on-one training is great for beginners to build their confidence, coordination or those who want exclusive motivation for unique goals.  The Encore Personal Training partner program gives the same dedicated, high-quality instruction, but is more affordable because you share the cost with another individual.  The one-on-one circuit format is the same as the Partner program except there’s just one person. For example, on arm day we’ll do three different circuits. One person takes the lead and is followed by the partner in circuit #1 that repeats:   bicep curl; tricep extension; shoulder press; cardio interval and an ab/core exercise.  We are coaching, directing, and correcting form while remembering each individual’s goals and personal history, We intuitively know how to motivate each personality and take each session to the maximum limit.  In our one-on-one or partner programs,   there will be no sitting or standing around.  The talk is all about health and fitness and actions speak loader than words. Maintaining a professional, coach and athlete relationship is essential to create healthy habits and to support the coaching and higher education we share with each person.

What are your rates?
We are the most affordable group of high quality trainers.  Each month is prorated based on your start date or planned vacations.  If you can only make 2 workouts one week try to come 4 times the next week. 

What approach do you take with your clients?
Each person is unique and will be assessed with a detailed Personal Analysis, nutritional appraisal, cardio, strength, flexibility and "squat print".  The squat print allows us to see what weak and tight areas are affecting your posture, hips, knees, and shoulders so that we can teach you custom corrective exercises and stretches.   After you get your professional "Before" photo, you will be given a custom meal plan and you are asked to bring your nutrition and cardio log to each appointment.

Do you take body fat and circumference measurements?
In our experience the before picture is priceless.  Body fat tests have a 1.5% margin of error because of hydration factors.  Different kinds of tests and even different testers may add to the confusion.  we take all measurements but pay a professional photographer to give you a private photo shoot, 3 dimensional 8.5x11 color glossy print with your measurements.  The photographer will also email you the original file for your electronic records.  Telling you numbers doesn’t compare to how you will feel seeing the follow-up or after picture.  Interestingly, people see the biggest change in their clothes, tape measurements and attitude.  How much you weigh is relevant, but we are most concerned with the "After" picture, body fat, and most importantly, the confidence you project.

Do I have to take a before and after picture?
Yes and No. We never have to see or take any picture but it is recommended that the client take advantage of this free of charge so they can see how dramatically you change. Often times we can’t tell any change because we see ourselves so often. But looking at a before and after picture with the date, body weight and body fat percentage stamped on it can show results that tape measurements and just the scale and body fat measurements can’t describe. Many people choose to keep their transformation private and are not on the website or in a brochure. But just as you see here , its nice to see real results and a picture is worth a thousand words.

Do you provide any guarantees on results?
Satisfaction or money back guaranteed. The focus is on behavior modification through positive imagery. However, you cannot expect to lose or gain more than 2 pounds per week depending on your goal while on the Encore program because the focus is on body composition improvement and behavioral modification for lasting change. Nutritional accountability is critical. We're available 24/7 to answer questions and provide encouragement.  If you are feeling weak, out of control, depressed or need help you must ask for it.

How did you become a trainer?
I personally have lost 70 pounds and became a trainer to help others. I know what it feels like to be embarrassed to come to the gym; what it feels like to try so hard and see minimal results. That's why I've had several trainers and achieved several certifications...to offer my clients the best information possible. In addition, seeing people close to me pass away from long-term illnesses has motivated me to learn as much as I can about healthy living.  Helping other people live life to the fullest is my dream come true.
