Frequently Asked Questions about Professional Services

What can a personal trainer do for me, even though I'm already working out?
A personal trainer can do a number of things for you and your workouts. One of them is motivate you to work out, this will make it fun and interesting, changing the routine when needed instead of the same old routine again, again. Consistency is another benefit of a personal trainer. When you set up an appointment, it makes it more difficult not to come in. Quality of workouts greatly improves! A personal trainer will make sure you are safely targeting that area you are working on, not just moving around wasting your time. Other factors a personal trainer brings to your workouts are nutritional benefits, special needs training, post rehabilitation, and sport specific training.

Do I have to train with a personal trainer every week to get results?
Depends on your goals and the amount of time you want to achieve those goals. A large amount of clients will train with a personal trainer for a few weeks, develop a routine, and then meet with them periodically for changes.

Why should I get a massage? Is it important?
One of the primary goals of Massage Therapy is to speed the venous return of unoxygenated and toxic blood from the extremities. Massage shortens recovery time from muscular strain by flushing the tissues of lactic acid, uric acid, and other metabolic wastes. It increases circulation without increasing hear load. It stretches the ligaments and tendons keeping them supple and young. Relaxation is an essential element of massage, which allows muscle tissue to move from a contracted position to an extended or relaxed state. Massage also stimulates the skin and nervous system and soothes the nerves themselves at the same time. It reduces stress, both emotional and physical, and is recommended in a regular program for stress management. The American Massage Therapy Association recommends a one-hour massage monthly as a minimum schedule toward optimum health of mind and body. Why not give the natural gift of health to yourself or a loved one today?
