Everyday Counts for Success

Everyone wants to look and feel better with an enhanced energy level and focused enthusiasm for life.

Working out with a personal trainer has become an important choice for many forward thinking individuals… people put a dollar value on property, but not on their own physical and mental wellness.

Your mental ability and emotional stability are both aided enormously through physical fitness.

Working out with a personal trainer gives you the security of knowing you are going about your fitness program in the right way and with a support system.

In addition you will receive motivation and accountability to help you stick with your program.

Having your own personal trainer provides you with the opportunity to get professional assistance to improve your strength, flexibility, endurance, posture, balance, coordination, heart and lung capacity, or loose unwanted pounds and inches and develop lean, toned muscles over the whole body.

You can depend on your trainer to help you design the right program for you and help you make it through rough times and to celebrate your successes.

Starting with and assessment of your current physical fitness status, your progress will be monitored and your routine will be fine tuned as you work together toward your goals. You will learn to make regular exercise a lifestyle choice as you refine your new skills and take charge of your progress.

We do accommodate requests for those ages 12 to 15, with the following restrictions/understandings:

1. Classes are geared to the adult population.

2. Child must be participating and not disrupting.

3. Parents must be in attendance with the 12-15 year olds,

4. The group fitness instructor has the ultimate say as to whether a 12-15 year old can attend the class.

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

ABOUT OUR PILATES PROGRAM

"Best Pilates in town"
"Carmen Fermin was telling me how Pilates could help my lack of body flexibility and I should give it a try. That was the start of my flex training with Lynn Kirschner and Paula Long every Monday and Wednesday... I am thinner, weight less, and am a slight bit flexible, which for me, is a major accomplishment. Pilates has also helped strengthen my lower back and improved my posture."
