We know you may have questions about our programs; many people do, so here’s some answers to the most frequently asked questions we receive. I think you’ll find this helpful.
Q: Your program sounds interesting. But I’ve tried lots of ways to get in shape in the past and I know there are lots of health clubs, weight loss centers, and other places around town that all say “their program is the best”. How are you different?
A: We have a saying around here that “when you train with the best, you don’t have to suffer like the rest.” Almost all our clients have tried different ways to get in shape in the past. Some of those programs have given them some short-term results, most have failed miserably. Our program differs from everything else out there because we don’t just give you an exercise program, we spend time working with you to cover EVERYTHING you need to get in and stay in shape – once-and-for-all. Our programs cover all six areas of nutrition, supplementation, resistance training, cardiovascular exercise, flexibility, and coaching. Our entire staff is certified by the top fitness organizations in the country. And we guarantee you results- or your money back. When was the last time someone else offered you that type of guarantee on a fitness program? But don’t just take our word for it, read through our client success stories on our website and read the testimonials with successful clients on the page. All our clients were real people, with busy schedules, just like you. And we’ve helped them with our program… now we’re ready for you next!
Q: I have a VERY busy schedule, and I’m concerned about being able to fit a fitness routine into my life. How can you help me?
A: The majority of our clients all lead busy lives balancing their career and family life. And that’s why all have found that having an appointment to workout and fit exercise into their life is very important to making sure they do what’s necessary to take care of themselves. If you’re busy too, then it’s even more important that you DO make time for exercise so you can have more energy and be able to handle the demands of a hectic schedule. We work around your schedule, with training sessions starting as early as 6am and going straight through to 9pm at night. Surely, we have a time that we can make work for you. And having a set appointment will make it easy for you to get in your workout efficiently. Even if you can only fit 2 sessions a week into your schedule, making time for yourself is important and will be MUCH better than doing nothing.
Q: How quickly can I expect to see results?
A: That depends on how quickly we can help you integrate the program into your life. Obviously the more you can follow the program we put together for you, the faster you will see the results you’re looking for. The majority of our clients generally feel better and have a LOT more energy within the first couple weeks, begin losing weight and inches in the first month, and will typically lose anywhere from 4-12% bodyfat after about three to four months time. For some examples of what’s possible, take a look at what other clients in of ours have achieved. Their results are VERY substantial!
Q: What if I have a friend or spouse that wants to workout with me, can they join the program too?
A: Absolutely! Many of our clients bring a friend or spouse to workout with. We find this can make your workouts even more fun and having additional support in your life to accomplish your goals is always a good thing! Just let us know if you have a friend or your spouse in mind to workout with you, and we’ll come out and give you both a consultation.
Q: Do I need to have home equipment if I’m to be working with a trainer in my home?
A: If you have exercise equipment, Great and if you don’t, no problem. A percentage of our in-home clients have little or no equipment at all and still get amazing results. Unless you are into power lifting, bodybuilding, or competitive sports, all you need is to work the muscle and you do that with bodyweight calisthenics, exercise band, free weights, manual resistance, exercise ball, etc. If you would like to design your own home gym, we have a great relationship with the best local exercise equipment company and can help you make the best investment for your goals.
Q: Your program sounds great, but is it expensive? What are your rates?
A: The investment in our program depends on you. We have clients that train anywhere from 1-4 times per week depending on their schedules, motivation, and budget. But in general the investment runs between $650-$1200 per month. Keep in mind this is an investment in your health, and without your health… what do you really have?
Q: What about nutrition? I know that’s a big piece of the puzzle to getting in shape and improving my health over the long term. How can you help me with that?
A: Nutrition is a MAJOR piece of getting in shape and improving your health. In fact, it’s the foundation of everything when it comes to ramping up your metabolism and getting your body to burn fat and build muscle. We spend a lot of time working with all our clients on this aspect of their program. When we begin working together we’ll schedule a special nutrition consult with you to design a nutrition program that works for you. But don’t worry, you won’t be starved for food or anything like that. In fact, most of our clients end up eating MORE than they used to, but now with healthier choices of foods. We’ll also spend time reviewing the importance of nutritional supplementation with you. It’s important that you fill in the voids in what you’re not getting from your diet, and always have good nutrition options that are balanced, convenient, and easy to prepare- so you keep your “metabolic fire” burning!
Q: What if I have injuries or I’m REALLY out of shape (it’s been a while since I worked out) can you still help me?
A: Yes, we can. We’ll review this in more detail in your introductory consultation and initial fitness assessment, but we make sure to start your program at the right pace for you. Your safety is our first and foremost concern. All our trainers are nationally certified, and we train our staff in very specific protocols for working with people with all types of special conditions. We’ve worked with clients that have had all types of injuries in the past including hip and knee replacements, stroke, heart attacks, MS, fibromyalgia, and more. Please let us know about your specific conditions and we’ll let you know how we can help. Also, we offer a Physicians Communication Program to coordinate with your doctor on your program and make sure you get the complete care you need. We’re here to help and be part of your recovery and goal achievement team!
Q: Where do you provide your services?
A: We currently work with clients in their home, office, apartment fitness centers or select gyms across the Greater Houston Area. We also work with clients in local parks on nice days. It doesn’t get more convenient than that.
Q: Ok, this all sounds great and I’m very interested. What’s the next step?
A: The next step is to give us a call to schedule your no-cost, no-obligation consultation and speak with us further about your specific goals and needs. You can reach us at 800.503.0285 M-F during normal business hours. If we happen to miss your call, just leave a message and we’ll get right back to you!
