Introduction

The Fit Connection difference is in the attitude we bring to our work. We are PROFESSIONAL trainers. We take our work seriously and our only goal is to get you the results you need. That means challenging, integrated workouts involving many different forms of training (where necessary): pilates, weight training, conditioning drills, powerlifting, balance training, speed drills, kickboxing, plyometrics, aerobic training, stretch work and many other techniques to help you get the results you desire. We do not take one single workout approach and apply it to everyone. Every person we work with is unique. That means every person we work with needs a unique workout tailored to their unique personality, their unique ability level, and their unique goals. We are not only there to push our clients, we are there to support, motivate and educate as well. We care about what we do and it shows in our training and in the results experienced by our customers. I truly enjoy helping people better themselves. It's very rewarding to see someone hit their goals and even surpass them! Please Note: All trainers are fully vaccinated.

Q&A

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
Our typical process with a new customer normally encompasses a weigh-in, where we take bodypart measurements, bodyfat measurements and track their weight. Additionally, we sit down and discuss their nutritional intake and how it can be modified to suit their goals. If necessary, we give nutritional plans as well. Lastly, our workouts start with a slow buildup. We push our clients, but only to the degree that they are capable of being pushed. Normally the acclimatization period lasts a few weeks and our clients are up to speed and can do more challenging workouts.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

unfold fold
We are nationally certified and are also certified in CPR.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

unfold fold
Finding a good personal trainer is like finding a good mechanic - it's not easy, much like finding a needle in a haystack. First - you want a personal trainer who is punctual and attentive. You are paying for the hour, you don't want a personal trainer who routinely shows up 10 minutes late. Additionally, you're not paying for someone to text message their friends or watch tv while you are working out. A good personal trainer is entirely focused on their client. Second - the majority of personal trainers approach their clients from a single point of view. They have limited knowledge and experience and don't incorporate a variety of techniques into their training. You want a personal trainer who is going to tailor your workout for you. You are unique and you have specific goals. Your workout should be unique and specific as well. Third - Nutrition. Many trainers think their job begins and ends with a workout. Not so. 50% of your results will depend upon what you do OUTSIDE the gym. You need a trainer who is an expert in designing nutritional plans and supplementation guidelines that will help you meet your specific goals. Fourth - you want a PROFESSIONAL trainer. Too many trainers see training as a part time job while going to school or doing some other activity. You want a proven trainer whose sole focus is training. You want a highly experienced professional who has a proven track record of getting results from their clients. Fifth - you need to find a personal trainer that cares about the work they do. Too many trainers fail to push their clients to a sufficient degree that they will experience results. This shows a lack of knowledge, as well as a lack of dedication to results. Many trainers give their clients easy workouts and are more comfortable making the workout a social session, rather than a focused session geared towards seeing results. Trainers who care, care enough to push their clients to the degree that they will be able to meet their goals. Lastly - you want a trainer who pays attention to details. Your results will depend upon more than your work in the gym. They will depend upon your work outside the gym, your nutritional intake, your sleeping habits as well as the stress levels of your daily life. You need a trainer who is able to pinpoint the areas of your life that may be stopping you from seeing results, and consequently can help you find solutions that will help you achieve the results you desire.
