Interested in more information? Ready to take the next step?

I deliver the personal Certified Fitness Appraisal in my private fitness studio. You receive individualized attention in a one-on-one environment without the interruptions or distractions that can happen in a public gym or fitness club. The Appraisal takes 90 minutes to complete.

You will leave with a comprehensive written report of the Appraisal results and a package of useful materials to help you with the next steps in your fitness and lifestyle management program. While there is no obligation for on-going appointments, the development of a personal training program, lifestyle coaching, or consulting on specific aspects of effective health and lifestyle management can also be arranged. Call or email me for information or to make an appointment.
