My COMMITMENT To PERSONAL TRAINING CLIENTS
I will always keep your best interests a priority during all sessions.
I will ensure a safe and effective workout environment.
I will maintain my certifications by continually updating and educating myself on fitness trends, research and techniques.
I will ensure not only you that know how to execute an exercise, but why it’s an important part of your program.
I will encourage you to reach new fitness levels without pushing you beyond your boundaries or safety zone.
I will be an example in mind, body & action, proving that fitness is my true passion and in turn inspiring you.
I will strive to make your sessions an experience that is fun, challenging in the right ways for you and customized to your goals.
