How to find the personal trainer for you

Be yourself

Your personal trainer is there to help you reach your goals. Your trainer is a person you may meet with once a month or once a day. When going to a consultation with a trainer or to meet yours for the first time, be yourself! You want a trainer that pushes you to be your best, but you also want someone you can see yourself getting along with. 

Have some goals in mind

Three keys to maintaining your resolutions as the year begins

Picture
As another year begins, we see it as a fresh start. The new year is a time to reflect on the past year and set new goals for the upcoming 12 months. The most common goals often have something to with health, food, and fitness. Most of us start out the year enthusiastically, often applying our big goals for the year right away. You may be familiar with that "New Year Rush" most gyms experience, or how the produce section of the grocery store almost always feels packed during the first week of the year. 
In 2013, Forbes Magazine published that only 8% of people achieve their resolutions. Here's a few tips on how you can be part of that 8%.

Ageless Fitness is all about you.

What to expect:

Our exercise programs are specialized, meaning we take the time to learn about you, your goals, and your needs. Our in-depth consultations include 2 parts, often split into two visits: 
  • Part 1: A sit-down visit with our trainer and an overview of health history, goals, and a tour of our facility.
  • Part 2: Movement analysis, exercise testing, and basic measurements like weight, height, resting pulse and blood pressure

After the second part of the consultation, your trainer will review your information and design a program specifically for you. No two plans are the same.

True or False? No Pain, No Gain

No pain, only gains.
​Why you need to exercise smarter, not harder

Picture
We have all heard the term, "no pain, no gain" when referring to exercise. If you aren't sweaty, exhausted, and have Jell-O legs at the end of a workout, then you didn't work hard enough, right? 
Wrong. 

That sore, tired, torn feeling we get in our muscles the day or days after a challenging work out is called DOMS, or delayed-onset muscle soreness. This is often where people believe they are making the most progress, physically. 


True or false? 
  • Soreness is due to lactic acid buildup in the muscles
  • Soreness is caused by microscopic tears in the muscles
  • Being sore after exercise means we are building muscles
  • if you work through the sore days , you will get better results.
