Frequently Asked Questions

If I come to the trainer's gym do I have to pay a gym fee in addition to the trainers fee?
Yes. By "Trainer's gym" we are referring to a gym where I regularly train clients.

Do I have to join the trainer's gym and what are the gym fees?
No, you do not have to join the gym. You can pay a "daily fee" which is usually $5 or $10 each time you come. We encourage this option when you start working with a trainer until you decide whether you want to continue. Often a gym will give you a free guest pass for your first session. If you decide to continue you can discuss directly with the gym options for discount daily packages, or for monthly, quarterly or yearly memberships. These fees are generally quite modest as compared with the high-end health clubs.

I currently belong to a gym. Can a trainer come to my gym to train me?
Yes, if your gym allows private personal trainers. You need to ask your gym if they welcome independent trainers and, if so, how much they charge you for the trainer to come in. Most gyms will charge you for this.

I want to workout at home, but I don't have any equipment. Will I be able to
accomplish anything?

Yes. Of course, it is always better to have access to quality cardio and resistance equipment. However, it depends upon your condition and goals. A lot can be done with no equipment. Also available by mail order is a range of excellent home equipment, including resistance bands, ankle weights, dumbells, balls and other easily stored and relatively inexpensive, yet effective items. Depending on the program that we come up with I'll be glad to bring equipment into your home to maximize the training session.
