Frequently Asked Questions
-
In-home training offers a safe, private environment where we can focus on "functional fitness"—the movements you need for daily life. By training in your own home, we eliminate the commute, reduce the risk of germs found in public gyms, and can use your actual stairs or furniture to improve your real-world balance and mobility.
-
Absolutely. My senior fitness program is specifically designed for older adults with conditions like arthritis, osteoporosis, or joint replacements. We focus on low-impact movements and stretching to increase range of motion and reduce chronic pain without putting undue stress on your body.
-
Falls are a major concern as we age. My program incorporates specific balance exercises, core strengthening, and lower-body stability drills. By strengthening the "stabilizer" muscles, we help you feel more confident and steady on your feet, whether you're walking on uneven surfaces or getting out of a chair.
-
No equipment is necessary! I bring everything needed for an effective workout such as resistance bands, light weights, and balance pads. We can also utilize your own body weight and household items to ensure you’re getting a full-body workout safely.
-
Because up to 40% of the weight lost on GLP-1 medications can come from muscle, not fat, unless you strength train. As a certified GLP-1 exercise specialist, I build resistance training programs that preserve muscle and bone while the medication works, so the weight you lose stays lost and your strength doesn't go with it.
