Which Sort of Clients Do I Work With?
I have worked successfully with a numerous amount of clients over the past few years with varying needs. While I am probably the most well-known as a runner, I have succesfully helped other types of clients as well. Listed below are the groups of clients whom I have had success working with (NOTE: many of these clients tend to fall into multiple categories!)
The Average "Joe/Jane"
You do not have to be a high-level athlete in order to get started on one of my programs, nor do you have to be that person who has neglected their health after several years and now has been told by their doctor that they "need" to start working out! I am here to help you build that habit, even as an ordinary, generally healthy person so that you stay that way long-term!
Clients "Of An Age"
As we get older, it becomes more and more important that we incorporate strength training and flexibility into our routines so that we remain injury free and ensure that we don't lose muscle mass and in order to prevent or ease chronic health conditions, another consequence of getting older. I am here to keep you on track and accountable for that!
Runners
This is one of my specialities. In these programs, Specifically, I create periodized running programs for runners with specific goals in mind, such as completing a half marathon for the first time, getting a new 5K PR, passing a physical fitness test, and so forth, I specifically target new runners, experienced runners, and racers. Currently not recommended for people running longer than half-marathon distance.
Children & Teenagers
I first discovered strength training at the age of 12, and free weights at the age of 15. As this population is going through rapid physical development and growth, I make modifications for this population in a way that provides them with the physical benefits that they need to grow strong while also ensuring safe physical development. A main focus for this group is learing not necessarily to become a great athlete but on how to make exercise part of their everyday lifestyles.
Team Sport Athletes
Programs for this group will focus on sport-specific exercises including calisthenics, free weights, olympic lifts, plyometrics, jumping exercises, and resistance training. I also offer balance and footwork training to prevent the risk of falls and injuries during athletic activity. Upon request and depending on limitations, I also offer specific fitness goals (e.g.: improving speed or max vertical jump). Assessments will most likely be done at the start and end of each program.Suitable to athletes of any age and may be done either 1-on-1 or in small groups.
Individual Sport Athletes
Similar to the training programs of team-sport athletes, I also incorporate specefic exercises that are necessary for individual sports such as horseback riding, golf, and track & field.
Clients With Chronic Health Conditions
I have experience working & maintaining relationships with clients who have specific conditions, such as spinal injuries, osteoporosis, and arthritis. Acknowledgement of condiitons, as well, as slow tempo exercises, are important for a population such as this.
