It depends on your goals, fitness level, and budget. In our initial consultation, we’ll talk through all of that and find what works best for you—whether that’s training 2–3 times a week together, or meeting once a week with you completing the rest on your own. There’s plenty of flexibility built in.
Training sessions happen in the comfort of your home. I bring all the equipment needed, and if you have your own, I will gladly incorporate it into your workouts.
All training sessions are paid in advance, whether you schedule a single session, a package, or a Monthly Membership.
Please note-- when you book a personal training session, that time is reserved exclusively for you—I’m unable to offer it to anyone else. Because of this, cancellations should be limited to true emergencies such as illness, accidents, or a death in the family.
Feeling tired isn’t a reason to cancel. I always tailor workouts to your wellbeing, and adjustments can be made as needed.
Emergency cancellations will be rescheduled whenever possible. Non-emergency cancellations are not eligible for rescheduling or refunds.
For the Solo Training and the Hybrid SoloTraining Packages-- refunds are available within the first 24 hours of purchasing the package. After that, there are no refunds.
Single Sessions are ideal when you need just one appointment for a specific goal—like checking your exercise form, learning a new skill, or completing a fitness assessment.
A Monthly Membership is designed for ongoing training to help you reach your fitness goals. You choose 1, 2, or 3 sessions per week, and we’ll set your schedule together before the month begins—so you’ll know exactly what’s due.
This is a flexible, month-to-month plan. You can cancel future Monthly Membership training any time before the new month starts at no cost. Once payment is made for the upcoming Monthly Membership, you have 24 hours to cancel; after that, no refunds are issued.
That’s completely understandable. I’m specially trained to help older adults improve their fitness without pain. For an arthritis condition, each session includes a gentle warm-up to ease joins, stretching to reduce stiffness, low-impact strength work, and a calming wind-down to relax. We increase intensity only when you’re ready.
I’ll also help you recognize the difference between normal muscle soreness and signs of a potential injury—so you can feel confident and safe as you progress. You won't just exercise-- you'll rebuild trust in your body.
Your fitness assessment will include a fall risk evaluation, along with checks for muscular imbalances and mobility limitations that may be affecting your balance.
Balance training is always part of the program, and we’ll begin right where you are. You’ll have plenty of support at the start, and we’ll only increase the challenge when you’re ready— progressing at a pace that feels safe and right for you.
Absolutely! Functional training focuses on improving how your body moves in everyday life and in sport. We’ll work on full-body conditioning tailored to your unique muscular imbalances and limitations—helping you build strength, prevent injuries, and reach the next level.
You’ll also learn sport-specific exercises, stretches, and warm-ups designed to enhance your performance and prepare you safely before each practice.
Yes! You can sign up for one or two sessions and I will check your form for every exercise you do during your workouts, as well as make any necessary corrections where needed. Body weight exercises, dumbbell exercises, and kettlebell exercises, all fall under this category.
If your healthcare provider or physical therapist has cleared you to begin exercising, then yes—we can absolutely start training sessions. I’ll tailor everything to your current abilities and recovery stage, with gentle progressions and modifications built in.
If needed, I’m happy to connect with your provider to better understand your condition and make sure our sessions support your healing safely and effectively. Your comfort and confidence are my top priorities.
Absolutely! Before we begin your training program, we’ll start with a full fitness assessment to establish your baseline. From there, we’ll build a safe, progressive, and personalized plan tailored just for you.
We’ll look at muscular imbalances, health history, past or current injuries, nutrition, stress levels, and sleep habits—everything that could be affecting your progress. By adjusting how you train with a program designed specifically for your needs, we can break through plateaus and help you move forward with confidence.
