What type of training do the Personal Trainers have?
All of the CFC trainers have at least one nationally recognized and independently accredited Personal Trainer certification, such as from ACSM, ACE, NASM, NSCA. All of these certifying bodies require continuing education in order maintain certifications. In addition, all of our trainers complete an in-house training program that is based on current guidelines within the industry and on current research.
What happens at the initial Personal Training Intake appointment?
The purpose of this first meeting is to assess what fitness information is most needed and desired, and to provide information on how to get started or continue making progress towards desirable fitness.
The visit includes review of your health history, as well as assessing your current fitness level, needs and goals.
What is a medical release and when is it necessary?
A medical release consists of a note from a healthcare provider stating any necessary exercise restrictions and/or provisions, or that states that the client has been cleared to exercise with no restrictions. Clients with a known medical condition (i.e., cardiovascular, metabolic, pulmonary, orthopedic, etc.) will be required to obtain medical clearance from a healthcare provider before they can workout with a trainer. Clients with symptoms suggestive of a clinical condition, or with multiple risk factors, may be required to get clearance as well.
Each trainer works with each client based on the current fitness level of the individual. The advice given is individually tailored to help the client make steady progress towards achieving a higher level of fitness and well-being. Our goal is to give you fitness advice and some tools to build a better you.
The number of visits with a trainer will be based on your specific needs and goals. Clients seeking an individualized exercise program may want to purchase “Jump Start” following their fitness intake, and then decide afterwards whether to purchase more sessions. Clients who want to enhance their current workout or performance may want to purchase a 6 session package. Those new to exercise or those who like ongoing personal motivation may want to purchase ongoing sessions.
