My wife and I work out together on a partner plan and have enjoyed doing your program. The teamwork and encouragement that we receive from your staff have perpetuated us through the trying times in our program. An excellent service ran by great people.

My son was getting picked on at school about his weight, and I wanted to help him to feel better about himself. I wasn't sure if this was the best option, but I decided to give you guys a call. Not only has my son made significant progress but he feels so much better about himself, and I could tell. His self-esteem is through the roof, and he's walking taller. Thank you for all your efforts.

I needed a fitness professional for my father who had a stroke recently. He was always very fit but needed help getting back into shape. Eric has been with him every step of the way, and I want to thank him so much for all of his time he has spent with my husband getting him back to himself.

Being as though the beautiful weather is here, I have had to wear my shorts and t-shirts as a result. In doing so, I can't believe how much tighter my clothes are just from last year alone which was a wake-up call for me to start getting myself in shape and start losing the weight. I tried to motivate myself but was only kidding since I wasn't going to be able to stay accountable on my own. I gave your company a call in the hope that you could show me what to do and I enjoyed the service so much I decided to utilize the service weekly. The results have been great, and I enjoy the personal touch.

In my college days, I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain a pound. However, I have now found that my metabolism has slowed down such that I have to be very cognizant now of how I eat. Even in changing my diet I have still not been able to lose the weight, so I decided to hire a professional to push me on the exercise spectrum in addition to a diet. It was a slow process at first; however, as we scaled up the intensity by body began to respond, and I am so happy with all of the results.

What a roller coaster ride this year has been. Lots of stress and anxiety, weight gain and depression. I knew that something had to be done to alleviate some of my constant stress, so I decided that exercise was going to be the answer. Not knowing where to begin or what to do I figured I better get some help before I hurt myself. I've been working now with Paige for over 3 months and not only is she my trainer but she is also a friend. Your service has been an enjoyable experience that I never expected, and I so look forward to continuing.

Maybe you don't have a ton of room to workout at home, no problem!  Ellicott City offers plenty of great parks like Centennial Park, Meadowbrook Park, and Patapsco Valley State Park to name a few.  Our staff can meet you at the park with all the equipment needed to give you an amazing workout.  Are you ready?

The issue of whether or not to work with a coach is one that is up in the air for various people. So how can a personal trainer help? Let's take a look.

Accountability is essential to success. How many times have you intended to go to the gym but don't end up going? Has a gym called you and asked you where you were? Of course, not, there is no accountability. When you work with a personal trainer in Ellicott City, the sessions are appointment based, so you know you'll be getting your workouts completed regardless. Also, many times they will be contacting you on those other days to make sure you're getting your workouts in when you aren't with them. So, therefore, you have accountability.

Fun experienced with a new program. How many times have you found yourself gazing at your phone or viewing TV while at the gym working out? It happens to all of us. So many times we get jaded with what we're doing and lose our focus when training. When you work with a trainer, you never get bored since they are always switching up your program and adding new exercises to keep you from getting bored. Not only that but the innovative practices keep your body guessing and helps you to continue improving.

Consistency is the key to success. Consistency is one of the critical factors that contribute to you seeing results in your plan. It's imperative to make sure that you have a good week in and week out. Rather than just one good week and one bad week and vice versa. When you work with a coach, they will make sure that you are getting workouts in on a regular basis which will lend itself to you seeing results much faster.

Injury prevention is vital to progress.  Sometimes we overlook that working out to be unsafe and perilous. If you're using the wrong form, you can injure yourself and set yourself back physically. By working with an Ellicott City personal trainer, they will make sure that you are using the proper form and that your technique is ideal and most efficient. By doing this, you will limit injury and any damage to your muscles or ligaments or tendons.  Safety always should be addressed.

Knowledge and education. Have you ever walked into a gym and wondered what you were supposed to do? There are all these machines, and it's almost like looking at a puzzle. When you work with an instructor, you are working with a professional who has the knowledge and education to put the plan together for you based on your individual goals needs, and concerns. It is very important to take into account a client's age, fitness level, injury background, and many other factors when devising an exercise plan. Using the knowledge and education of the personal trainer is very important.

Results, of course, is another reason why working with a certified trainer is a great idea. Our trainers are certified by the best organizations in the field. Some of their certifications include the American Council on Exercise, National Academy of Sports Medicine, American College of Sports Medicine to name a few, as well as multiple other high-end degrees in kinesiology or exercise science. This information base will assure that you are experiencing the most efficient program for your goals.
