MYFITCLUB, LLC (IRVING, TX)

My rates depend on the duration of our session (30/60 minutes), how many times per week we see each other, and how long you commit to the training program. I truly want to help people reach their goals and change their lives and I don’t want cost to be a hindrance. So, I provide a variety of payment plans to accommodate everyone’s budget. When we meet for your free consultation, I will share with you all of my options so you have the ability to work with a trainer on a payment plan that fits your needs.

My biggest goal for new clients is to have them be as comfortable as possible. I strive to be as transparent and non-judgmental as possible because If I were in there shoes, that Is the last thing I would want. After meeting, we would go out on the floor and literally find their strengths and weaknesses. I screen clients for posture, movement compensations, and muscular imbalances so as to not create or exacerbate any new or reoccurring injuries.

For me, my love for exercise and fitness started when I was a freshman in high school playing football and baseball. That was my introduction in organized exercise and strength training. I received a scholarship to play football at ACU, then a D-2 powerhouse program with an excellent strength and conditioning program. I majored in Kinesiology (the study of human movement science), so for me it was a natural progression. After my internships I started training a gym in San Diego CA where I learned the in's and out's of the business and realized that personal training is a lot more than just "coaching" an individual or a group, it's curating relationships and getting people to believe not just in you because you're helping them, but more importantly them believing in themselves again.

My clientele list includes people from a wide range of abilities, such as, individuals with limited or no training experience, individual's needing to break plateaus, gain muscle, lose weight, get more toned, rehabilitation, increase strength, youth sports performance, all the way up to collegiate and professional athletes.

I am proud of every client I have ever worked with because it takes much courage to step out of ones comfort zone and ask for help, it's letting yourself be vulnerable, and that is absolutely not a bad thing! One client in particular came to me February 1st 2018, about 41 years of age, with fear and uncertainty in her eyes. She wasn't sure about hiring a personal trainer, having never exercised in her life. She didn't know what to expect, or if it was worth it, or if she would even see any improvements in her health. We started out training twice per week for a couple months. Her attitude was changing week after week, noticeably becoming more comfortable with what she was doing, and comfortable being around new people. We found that she had lost a couple inches off her waist, and that she was getting stronger in her core and upper body. She asked if it we can try three sessions a week, to kind of speed up the process and because she was enjoying herself during the workouts. Her lower body strength and her coordination was drastically improving! After that month, she bumped it to four sessions per week. We kept at it that way for three more months. She ended up losing eight precent body fat and thirty pounds, fitting into a pair of jeans she kept since she was 22. I am proud of her physical accomplishments, but that pales in comparison to her newly found self-confidence on an emotional level. She went from a scared and meek woman in her 40's to a confident, powerful, life-loving woman! It is those internal transformations that give me the joy of doing what I do. I am here to help improve peoples quality of life, not to just decrease a number on a scale.

It is my opinion that the value of the relationship between the client and the trainer cannot be overstated. A true understanding of what someone wants out of fitness - which is much more than just weight loss or muscle gain - is the key. I would recommend to meet with the trainer and make sure there's a comfort level from a personality standpoint. The trainer should be educated, qualified to help, and most importantly, a good person that is willing to listen to, potentially, real struggles that people are living with on a daily basis.

If they are truly ready to make the commitment to change their lives, they then have to be ready to trust in their trainer that he or she will get them to where they need to be. Also knowing, that there will be peaks and valleys along their fitness journey and having a strong relationship and belief in their trainer is very important. All this does develop over time, however having patience and trust in your trainer and yourself is imperative.
