Personal training plans starting at $400 a month for meetings twice a week ($50 per session value).
If you contract with a friend to train concurrently two sessions a week it will be a value of $35 each a session. Total for the two $560 a month. This is contingent upon consultation and assessment by trainer to determine similar fitness level that the two can handle the same exercises.
Contract for two months (16 sessions). Some time flexibility allowed for reschedules. You will learn core strength, strong posture, movement coordination, balance, range of motion (flexibility) and body mechanics to prepare you for lifting weights and other workouts on your own avoiding injury.
Personal training can be done in home or outside. You may be required to buy a few pieces of simple equipment that you will learn to use yourself. Plan for $200 purchase in first month. Not necessary for first session.
Call for free consultation please 🙂

I’m more interested in what your body can do than how it looks. why does exercise and fitness make us healthy? Maybe it depends on your methods.

There’s two major conceptions of . One is about “burning” so that we “burn away fat” and “tone up” and look good. While these things are an important consequence of body function, it doesn’t inherently have any meaning. Of course there needs to be muscle development and without an excessive amount of body fat impeding us for healthy function. But what if you focused on function?

The other fitness conception I’ll offer you is function. This was first most relevant and apparent with athletes training for a specific sport. If we’re not training for a sport or a competition then what are we training for? Or are we just exercising to deter decay or the body? I would like to suggest that the opposite of decay is function. The more we train for the movement and capability functions of our human organism the more we combat decay. When there is a specific sport or competition at hand the movements were training for are a little more obvious compared to those with desk jobs. It is important to investigate into the movement patterns that we evolved into ancestrally resulting in the arrangement of body parts and the 600 muscles and 200 bones in the human body for function and to keep it working accordingly. We can even look back into the movement patterns of infant humans today as they develop and notice the movements we’ve become weak in as adults such as a low squat to crawl.

Your personal training is not what you think it is. Motivation isn’t enough. Are you driven? Are you obsessed with being more? Are you ready to expand your mind and body? Are you ready to practice strength as a skill? Are you ready to be a more capable human being.

Your body is much more than you think it is, meant for so much more. You seek pleasure and avoid pain, an endless cycle until you seek function. Fitness is function. Injury is dysfunction. Strength is a skill. Stop dragging your body through just another day and be a more capable human. Taking applications and commitments.

Are you ready to graduate lame motivations for fitness like looking good in a particular outfit? Fitness isn’t a look. Fitness is function. Strength is a skill. Everything else follows. Train to be a more capable human being. Do your practice and all else is coming.
