We are a highly qualified team of certified fitness professionals who adore our work. We range in age from 32-63 years old. Our clientele are equally varied in age, shape, size, physical fitness levels and although we cater to both men and women we do have a higher concentration of women. A typical workout is rather difficult to depict simply because the programs that we design are truly unique to each individual and depend exclusively on what their goals and needs are. However, I will give you a general sense. 
The first order of business is to prepare your body for its workout so we always begin with some form of a warm-up. You may spend 6-10 minutes walking on the treadmill, bicycling, using the gliders, the elliptical or just dancing around the gym with your Trainer to warm up. Then it’s onto the main body of your program, which usually lasts 40-50 minutes. Likely you will start with weight training using dumb bells, stacked weight training machines or the use of free weight equipment. You are clearly instructed as to each piece of equipments proper use, keeping you safe and developing correctly. Balance moves such as performing an arm exercise while seated on a Resist-a-Ball, as an example, are common. Balance is often an integral part of regaining optimal fitness. Strengthening the abdominal section is part of the workout due to the importance of the spinal support that is derived from that area being strong.
Typically we will provide a full body workout careful to balance your needs and desires with that which we have determined to be vital for your overall well being. Finally, we will take you through a series of stretches geared specifically to you and the areas of your body that need lengthening. Each workout is one hour in length and we pride ourselves on your leaving each and every time feeling successful and accomplished. Working within your present capabilities, encouraging you to move into areas that are new or unfamiliar and sincerely having your best interest at heart are what we do best. Drop by anytime to visit us and feel free to look around, observe us in action and if you wish, make an appointment for your assessment. We look forward to getting to know you and to assisting you anyway we can in your quest for optimal health.
