A: I am the right trainer for you. I specialize in getting extremely poorly conditioned people into an exercise program safely, comfortably, and with minimal pain. Very few of my clients have been highly skilled athletes. Most of my clients start on the low end of the fitness scale: people who may not have exercised on a regular basis in their entire life. You can't get in shape in a day or a week, so I don't attempt to achieve that. Many people try to do too much too soon. They end up injured or so sore that they never go back to working out. We will start out at level that is appropriate to your physical condition. I will gradually increase the work load to match your rapidly improving condition. Safely. Smoothly. Comfortably. You will be amazed how smooth the transition is from couch potato to workout warrior.

A: Yes. I can come to you home, you may also train at out private fitness center located in Clifton, NJ, this is where I work almost exclusively.

A: I work primarily in New Jersey (North Jersey). I'm also willing to travel to other states. If in doubt, ask me. (Rates may vary depending on location and time of day.)

A: No. It certainly is an advantage to have some equipment, but it is not necessary. I make use of whatever equipment is available, if it's appropriate for your program. If no equipment is available, an excellent workout can still be received with what I will provide. I will bring in various size dumbbells, a mat, a stability ball, rubber tubing, weighted plyoballs, and other training devices.

A: The minimum is two. For strength and toning, two days a week achieve good results. Three days a week is better, but two days a week works well. For Aerobic Training and Weight Loss, three days a week is the minimum required for good results. Five days a week is optimal.

A: It only takes a few weeks to start to see a difference. The further out of shape you are the faster you will see results. You will begin to feel stronger and see better muscle tone very rapidly.

A: That depends on you. The ideal situation is that the client does aerobic training outside of our training sessions. That could be before or after our workout, or on the off days. That way the full hour workout can be focused on strengthening and toning exercises. These exercises require more supervision than riding a stationary bike or walking. However, if the client is unable to do the aerobic work necessary on their own, it can be included as part of the training session. The program will be customized to fit your situation. The important factor is that you are getting aerobic exercise, whether it's on your own or during our training sessions.

A: While every program is totally customized, a typical workout focusing on strengthening and toning will consist of 3 phases.

• Phase 1 (5-10 minutes): Warm up with some light calisthenics and stretching.
• Phase 2 (40-50 minutes): 20 to 40 Strengthening and Toning exercises covering the entire body. Special focus on problem areas.
• Phase 3 (5-10 minutes): Cool Down - Stretching and Flexibility exercises.

A: Generally the workouts are 55 min to 1 hour in length. Longer sessions are an option: 75 minutes, 90 minutes, up to 2 Hours.

A: In most cases payment will be due upfront by invoice or due the day of training for single sessions. I am open to various arrangements. I accept checks and cash and all major credit cards.

A: I require 24 hour notification for any cancellation. Late cancellations (<24 hours) will result in you being charged for the session.

A: I train clients who want the long term results and long term training as well as the client that just wants a short term motivation to get them back on track. I also train clients who come to the area for vacation and people who live or are staying in North Jersey Areas long term or short term.
