Body Recomposition Program

Transform your physique by trimming fat and building muscle at the same time. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced exerciser, this plan combines targeted strength training techniques with nutrition counseling to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat.

  • This comprehensive weight management program can supplement other treatments for:

    • Weight Loss

    • Type 2 Diabetes

    • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

    • Hyperlipidemia (High Cholesterol and High Triglycerides)

    By using personal training and nutrition counseling to:

    • Develop healthy eating habits

    • Assist with meal planning

    • Boost metabolism

    • Reduce body fat

    • Improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control

    • Lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides

  • The key to lasting weight loss success is to avoid short-term diets and focus on dietary awareness and behavior modifications.

    During your free 30-min nutrition consultation, we’ll analyze your current eating habits and identify areas where you can make small dietary or behavioral changes that will help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.

    We’ll meet in-person and follow-up biweekly to talk about your progress and give you recommendations on how to address situations that lead to unconstructive eating patterns and improper food choices so that you stay committed to your goals.

  • We’ll work with you to develop a long-term meal plan tailored to your lifestyle, preferences, dietary restrictions, and health goals so that you can lose weight and manage metabolic conditions.

    With our expert guidance, making healthy food choices at the grocery store or in a restaurant will become second-nature. We’ll teach you how to read food labels, understand serving sizes, calorie counts, and macronutrients.

    Create healthier versions of the foods you love by learning about new ingredients and cooking methods that will reduce calories, increase nutritional value, and keep you satisfied.

  • We’ll set the foundation for your personal training program by establishing:

    • S.M.A.R.T Goals

    • Examining Medical History

    • Discussing Lifestyle & Behaviors

    • Gathering Biometric Data

    For more details about our wellness assessments, please check out our free consultation. We will collect these measurements in the first session to mark your starting point and then revisit them periodically during reassessments so you can see your progress.

  • During the first few weeks of your personal training program, or the stabilization phase, we will discover your strengths, weaknesses, and muscular imbalances. You will learn and master proper form and technique for exercises that will restore postural alignment and improve mind-muscle connection. This step safely prepares the body for more challenging exercise in the next phase.

  • Once you’ve mastered the basics, we’ll challenge your body to push past its comfort zone by manipulating training variables (weight, sets, reps, time, etc). Your body will adapt to increased demands by building stronger muscles, fortifying joints, boosting metabolism, and improving cardiorespiratory endurance.

  • In the last phase, we’ll focus on exercises that sculpt the body and help you maintain the progress you’ve made by reinforcing positive lifestyle changes.

Sports Specialized Programs

Personalized training plans for sports athletes of all fitness levels that focus on specific skills, techniques, and physical attributes to enhance performance, prevent injury, and promote recovery.

  • Protective gear and equipment - padding, helmets, shoes, mouth guards - have improved the safety of sports, but athletes are still susceptible to injury.

    If you have the right gear but are still getting hurt, let’s talk about proper training practices, warm-ups, and stretching techniques. Embracing these practices into your exercise routine can prevent many common sports injuries:

    • Sprains and Strains

    • Bone Fractures

    • Knee Injuries like ACL and Meniscus Tears

    • Dislocations

    • Shoulder Rotator Cuff Tears

    • General Overuse Injuries

    Our personal trainer will provide expert advice about sport-specific injury prevention, develop a safe warm-up routine, and ensure that you stay in the game.

  • Strength and resistance training is crucial for athletes as it enhances muscle strength, power, and endurance, leading to improved performance and injury prevention.

    Our personal trainer will develop an effective strength and resistance training program that is specific to your needs and sport requirements. We’ll provide:

    • Regular assessments and progress tracking.

    • Instruction on proper weightlifting form and technique.

    • Gradual increases in training volume and intensity.

    • Constant motivation and encouragement to reach your goals.

    • Exercise diversity that is fun and effective.

  • Many team and individual sports require explosive power to produce quick and strong vertical or horizontal movements, which can be achieved through plyometric training.

    This program will help condition your body to produce rapid movements with maximal force through exercises that manipulate the muscle's stretch-shortening cycle (SSC) like jumps, hops, throws, bounds, and more.

  • Many team and individual sports require SAQ skills:

    • Speed: moving swiftly in one direction.

    • Agility: quick directional changes with control.

    • Quickness: reacting and moving rapidly.

    SAQ drills can benefit all athletes by enhancing neuromuscular coordination, increasing balance and stability, and reducing the risk of injury. We’ll create sport-specific drills to improve your footwork, sprinting speed, reaction time, and your ability to swiftly change direction.

  • We’ll help you learn and incorporate active and passive recovery strategies into your training plan so that your body adequately heals between games and training:

    • Active Rest: strategic movements to prevent joint stiffness.

    • Stretching to reduce muscle soreness and enhance flexibility.

    • Foam rolling to release muscle tension.

    • Guidance and recommendations about sleep, hydration, and nutrition for athletes.
