Personal Training & Fitness Coaching

Certified Personal Trainers are equipped to give a client an effective workout, manipulating exercises, form, sets, repetitions, and intensity, based on their assessment of you and your fitness goals. Whether one on one or two at a time, personal training typically consists of meeting with your trainer in the weight room to get a workout you normally would not perform on your own, showing you a few new exercises, and often doing the thinking for you after a long day of work.

While our team of professionals are all Certified Personal Trainers, our coaching approach emphasizes the relationship we have with each individual, being an ongoing conversation and process, taking into account the client's current personal and health goals and strategies, ultimately to develop an evolving, supportive environment of personal success. Do not hire a personal trainer, invest in a fitness coach. (For more, click here: What is a Fitness Coach?)

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Fitness Coach? Is it the same as a Personal Trainer?
Here is legendary coach Vern Gambetta sharing his perspective on his difference between a trainer and a coach: "Training is paying attention only to the actual workout: manipulation of sets, reps, heart rates, maximum lifts. Coaching, on the other hand, is developing a whole person mentally, physically, and socially. It is working closely with the athletes to define their goals and TEACH THEM how to achieve their goals. Coaching is a creative process that takes imagination and enthusiasm. Coaching empowers the athlete to take a degree of responsibility for his or her actions." (- Vern Gambetta from Athletic Development.) So what would you like, Training or Coaching? The EveryBodyFIT Team views personal training as a science, coaching as an art. We are passionate about what we do, and look forward to discovering and achieving your goals.

How many sessions does it typically take to establish a program?
Everyone is different, as it depends on your experience, and overall "comfort level" in the gym, performing various exercises, etc. Also, if motivation and accountability is something to be worked on, this may increase the need for a few follow up sessions with you. You can "use us as much as you can or need to". We will discuss this, and we NEVER pressure anyone into purchasing extra sessions. When you fill out the Questionnaire, you can guess-timate how many times you may need.

Do you offer nutritional consulting or counseling?
We offer coaching, guidance, and tips. We will sometimes review food journals, but we do not write complete nutritional programs. "Proper" nutrition can account for 75% of the battle towards reaching your goals, so we will discuss nutrition at length. If we feel you need further guidance from a nutrition professional, we will recommend a Registered Dietitian of whom we work with regularly to provide the most complete and collaborative guidance possible.

Do I need a medical clearance to work with you?
In some cases. we will have you fill out a "PAR-Q" (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) prior to training designed to identify the small percentage of individuals for whom physical activity may be inappropriate or should have medical advice concerning what physical activity is appropriate for them. Also, if you have been recently released from cardiac rehabilitation, or certain orthopedic therapy, we will ask you for a medical clearance. We will discuss this before hitting the weight room.

I'm not a member at the Richmond Heights Community Center, can I still work with you?
Absolutely! This costs an additional $7.00 to be paid at the front desk.

Do you offer "in home" Fitness Coaching?
Yes we do. A few of our coaches maintain schedules with the flexibility required to service clients 'in home'. Email us directly to discuss your goals, situation, and where you live to work this out. The fee for in home training is higher due to mileage and time taken to and from.
