1. Personal Training
    I accept clients for "in-person" personal training on a case by case basis.

* Training hours are typically from 5:00 am through 6:30 pm during the day

* I can train you in person or I can coach you through online correspondence.

* I can design programs for you through online correspondence as well.

* All Physical Fitness Programs are developed to fit your individual needs,
  Unique abilities, and Fitness Goals.

 My primary training location is at Lynn's U.S. Gym. Click here to see where I can train you at.

                                                                   

- Weight Loss

* I Help people lose weight through a combination of an exercise program and by providing information
  and resources about nutrition and how to manage calories.

- Body Composition Testing with the free initial consultation. This
includes measuring your "Body-Fat Percentage" using Skinfold Testing with a 
Skinfold Caliper and also using Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis. I will also 
determine your Body Mass Index (BMI) and do base line girth measurements. I
will let you know where you rank or compare in regard to the normative
reference standards and inform you if you are considered at "risk." 

- Weight Resistance & Strength Training (tone & increase lean muscle mass)
Muscle is a metabolic burning tissue. Having lean muscle mass/tissue makes
you more efficient at burning calories. Please see Resistance Training and 
benefits of exercise.

- Cardio Training (Aerobic & Anaerobic Training) It is important to have
a healthy cardio vascular system and heart. Please see Aerobic Training and  Benefits of Exercise.  

- Circuit Training (Trains both muscular and aerobic endurance/performance)

- Cross Training  (Combines several exercise modes within one exercise
program)

- Plyometric Training for athletes or anyone who wants to increase their
quickness, speed, and explosiveness. Training designed to produce fast,
powerful movements, and improve the functions of the nervous system,
generally for the purpose of improving performance in a specific sport. 

2. 
Professional Counseling/psychotherapy (Cognitive & Behavioral Therapy)

I can also provide counseling to help you address issues related to your
mental health and well being. Anxiety, Depression, Emotional & or Behavioral  Problems. This is a separate service from the personal training. In order to avoid any perceived conflicts of interest or a dual relationship, I will have to provide this service separately to you and NOT both personal training and psychotherapy together at the same time. You have to choose between one or the other. Professional counseling is a weekly service meeting one day out of the week. This is a $75.00 fee per session for this service. This service is for more serious persistent mental health issues. While personal training is expected to involve coaching, encouragement, and help with life style change or behavior modification, Psychotherapy is a more intensive service and that is why it must be kept as a separate service if you want this service.


3. I am also available for hire to do Public Speaking Engagements/Presentations about the benefits of exercise to the human body, physical fitness and wellness ,in addition to how mental health is improved by exercise and being physically fit.  I reference studies/research that has been done in addition to my practical experiences and philosophy.
