| FAQ'S |
| Here's a few of the most FAQ's I've gotten over the years. Should you have any further questions, simply call or e-mail me I'll do my best to answer them to your satisfaction. |

Do you accept credit cards?
How many times per week do I need to meet with you for optimal results? I'm already a member at another gym. Can you train me there? Is it possible to have a friend join me for a session? How is it that you'll guarantee results while others will not? I would prefer to work out with my trainer at my home. Can you train me at my house? Would you be able to provide me with references? I'm getting married in a few weeks and would like to lose a few pounds. Is that possible? I went on a low carb diet and had some initial success but it was short lived. Why is that? I've never been to a gym I felt comfortable at. I like the idea of working out, but I'm honestly a little intimidated by the prospect of joining a gym. Do you accept credit cards? No, I don't. I only accept cash or checks. Your gym membership, however, may be paid for with a credit or debit card Back to Top How many times per week do I need to meet with you for optimal results? I recommend two to three sessions per week, but, naturally, not everyone can rationalize that kind of expenditure. Most of my clients meet with me between 1 and 4 times per week and do cardiovascular work on their own a couple of times per week as well, depending on how often they meet with me. Back to Top I'm already a member at another gym. Can you train me there? No. My schedule is far too busy to even consider traveling. If I were to do so, my fee's would be astronomical. Therefore, I stay put. Back to Top Is it possible to have a friend join me for a session? Yes. Friends are welcome. The price for training 2 people at once is $100. I do highly recommend, however, that you choose an equally fit/motivated partner so there's an equal balance of attention between the two of you. Back to Top How is it that you'll guarantee results while others will not? Different trainers have different policies. I take a very in-depth approach to every client's needs and work from the bottom up to guide them towards their goals. I work very closely with nutrition, flexibility as well as the actual exercise programs themselves. If a client is not following the diet he/she has been provided, then naturally, nothing is guaranteed. Same goes for clients that don't want to commit the necessary effort. I've been doing this job for over 14 years and never once has anyone ever requested a reimbursement of any kind or expressed any dissatisfaction with my services. Back to Top I would prefer to work out with my trainer at my home. Can you train me at my house? No. As I stated above, because of scheduling it's impossible for me to leave the gym for anything less than an exorbitant amount of money. Back to Top Would you be able to provide me with references? Absolutely. There are plenty and they're always available upon request. Back to Top I'm getting married in a few weeks and would like to lose a few pounds. Is that possible? Yes. That's quite possible. It all depends on how hard you're willing to work and how strictly you're willing to follow your diet. I work with clients to make them a diet of foods they find enjoyable so "dieting" is a pleasure, not a chore. Everything is individually tailored around you. There's no "one size fits all" approach with me. Back to Top I went on a low carb diet and had some initial success but it was short lived. Why is that? First of all, you have to understand how a low carb diet works. Simply put, for every gram of carbohydrate you deplete, you're losing 2.7 grams of water as well. Of course you're going to lose weight, but it's not a quality loss. It's a water weight loss and furthermore, it's plain dangerous to deplete carbs from one's diet to that extent. Carbs supply fuel to not only the muscles but to the brain and other organs as well. It's really not a very good idea to cut them out entirely. Protein makes for a lousy source of energy and, if over consumed, will be stored as fat in the body. Your best approach is a balanced diet and regular exercise. There are no quick fix pills or potions. If there were, I wouldn't have a job and everyone would have the body they desired. Simply put, if you want it, you're going to have to work for it, but the rewards will be well worth the effort. Back to Top I've never been to a gym I felt comfortable at. I like the idea of working out, but I'm honestly a little intimidated by the prospect of joining a gym. I can't tell you how many times I've heard this. When I train my clients at my gym the Austin Fitness Center, sterotypes are quickly dispelled. We're all individuals and we all have strengths and weaknesses. The gym shouldn't be a disco or a meat market. It should be a comfortable, pleasant place where you can enjoy your workout without the unnecessary distractions so many gyms have. Furthermore, I am far from the stereotypical self-absorbed personal trainer. A good personal trainer is an intelligent, eloquent, well rounded, patient, knowledgeable, teacher who guides you towards your goals. Not someone who's more interested in looking in the mirror or talking on their cell phone. Back to Top |
