My philosophy of training
The primary reason people continue to be active throughout their life is the pleasure that their training or physical activity gives to them.
This pleasure can come from the activity itself, the relationship with the coach or trainer, or enjoyment in nature (swimming, hiking, skiing).
Life is full of obligations (work, running a household , the children, others family demands…). Physical activity is included in these “mandatory things.” Who hasn’t heard: “to be healthy you must move every day.” But what about if you were excited to go to your training?What if your training were fun, playful, or if you don’t need to suffer but just enjoy ..? What about if you were in better shape in a programmed, progressive way without any pain?
Most people quit their gym because they don’t have adequate guidance or they didn’t find the person that has the right training for their needs.
In my trainings, I’m always looking to discover what my clients are passionate about, and push them to practice this activity .
I can help them to improve their performance or reduce pain.
These are my priorities when working with a client:
Safety: When I first start training with someone, I often use the STOTT Pilates method of training because it is an excellent way to protect people from injuries and helps them to rehabilitate from injuries or back pain. In fact many physical therapists are getting trained in this method. Its benefits are not only appplied to normal life but also improve performance in all sports.
Pleasure: Each person has different preferences. Some love gentle low impact training (Pilates is perfect for them) and others love competition and challenge (like ‘I’d like to prepare for a Marathon,” here my Master’s in Sport Science comes in…), functional training, or just play fun games… My long career and diverse experience allow me to satisfy most preferences of my clients.
Progression: The biggest difference between training by yourself and with a trainer is the rhythm and the progression are adjusted in a very individualized way. Every training is progressively built over the preceding workout, depending on the level of the client. This allows a very quick progression. In every training new objectives can appear… building together your best fitness level .
Programming the training is one of my passions (quantity and intensity of training, progressive increase of both depending on your objectives).
The consistency: What it takes to attain a good level of physical form is frequency and consistency of training. It is not very effective to do very intensive exercise once a week, but better be a little active all week as many days as possible. The OMS recommends 10,000 steps per day to be health . If you do this you will feel the difference!!. They also recommends 2-3 medium or high intensity trainings per week. On this I can help you more…
The education: My clients especially love my pedagogical way of training. I educate them about healthy habits, nutrition advice, why they need proper hydration, while also explaining why/where we go in each step, why this particular exercise at this moment.
