Exercise Programming and Nutrition Counseling

 

This service includes an exercise program and nutrition plan tailored to your goals. You will be required to fill out a questionnaire that will allow me to customize a program to your goals/needs. The first step at our meeting is to perform a fitness assessment so that you can begin monitoring your progress. Then, each exercise of your daily routines will be demonstrated and performed to ensure you have the correct form and technique. Once you are familiar with all the exercises and stretches, you are on your own to train. A meal plan and grocery list will be provided to help you achieve results quicker. This comprehensive assessment, consultation, and demonstration is typically two hours in duration. You will be provided with ongoing support to answer any questions you may have regarding nutrition and training.
