need the services of a Personal Trainer and how can they help
me?
At what time of the day is it best to work out
and where can I work out if I do not belong to a health club
or a gym?
I still have a membership at my local health club. Can a trainer
come to my facility and train me there?
How much does it cost?
I have been working out on my own for over a year now and
I have hit a sticking point whereby I don't seem to be able
to put any muscle mass on my physique. Can you help me get
back on track and moving forward by gaining lean tissue?
After I start working out with you, how long will it be before

Why do I need the services
of a personal trainer and how can they help me?
There are many reasons why people hire a personal
trainer. For many, it is simply that they need guidance, knowledge
and motivation. If you have a toothache you go to the dentist,
a qualified professional who knows what he is doing. It should
be the same thought process with a fitness professional. You
should work with someone who is qualified and competent, someone
who can show you how to train safely and effectively and who
will help you achieve your fitness goals and keep you on track.
At what time of the day is it best to work
out and where can I work out if I do not belong to a health
club or a gym?
The best time of the day to work out is whenever
you can fit it in to your schedule. Some clients like to work
out early, before they go to work, at 6 or 7am. Others prefer
to train after work in the evening. Stay at home moms often
train in the middle of the day when the children are at school.
I am very flexible and try to accommodate my clients' busy
schedules. I typically schedule sessions from 6:00 am to 8:00
pm Monday through Friday and from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday.
Some clients prefer to train in the privacy of their own home
while some opt for the office or corporate gym.
I train all of my clients at the Twin Oaks Tennis
& Fitness Center in Morristown. This is not a commercial
gym and clients feel very comfortable and less intimidated
by the surroundings.
I still have a membership at my local health
club. Can a trainer come to my facility and train me there?
It depends on the club and their policy regarding
independent trainers. Most of the larger gyms have their own
staff trainers and do not allow any independent trainers to
train their members. In other gyms they will charge you a
fee (typically ranging from $10-$15) and allow the trainer
in as a guest. Others do not mind at all and allow your trainer
in for free. You should be able to discuss your gym's policy
with the management of your gym.
How much does it cost?
Training rates can vary tremendously from $50
per hour to $150 per hour depending on the location and the
quality of the trainer. A top Hollywood trainer might charge
$500 per hour. Here in Morris County, I believe in making
personal training affordable to the average person on the
street. There are various packages
to suit every budget and payment plans to make getting in
shape an investment worth making. After all, you cannot put
a price on your health.
I have been working out on my own for over
a year now and I have hit a sticking point whereby I don't
seem to be able to put any muscle mass on my physique. Can
you help me get back on track and move forward by gaining
lean tissue?
Absolutely!! At some stage in their training
program, everyone will hit the dreaded plateau. We all have
growth phases and plateaus. That is not to say that there
is nothing you can do about it. Some athletes do reach their
genetic potential, but there is no such thing as perfection!
You can always improve on some aspect of your training, be
it fat loss, muscle gain, cardiovascular endurance, or flexibility!
Muscles easily adapt to the same workout and weights. I like
to mix it up a little, shock the body. I am always looking
for new ways to stimulate muscle growth.
After I start working out with you, how long
will it be before I will see any results?
That is a very open ended question. It depends
on many variables and the laws of individual differences apply.
I would love to say that everyone will lose ten pounds of
fat and add five pound of lean tissue in six weeks, but while
that may be the case for a few, it will not be the case for
many. I believe in setting realistic goals that are achievable
through proper exercise and nutrition principles.
The saying "you only get out of it what
you put into it" is very true. I expect 100% effort from
my clients, no matter what age, ability or level. I will personally
see that you optimize your chances of improving your overall
health, fitness, body composition and athletic performance
in whatever sport/past time/endeavor you participate in.
