NASM Certified Personal Training Testimonials:
"Nathan is the best coach I have ever met before. He is open minded, energetic, professional and patient.
He guided me to set up goals in each training session and pushed me to obtain them. He gave me confidence and courage to get through physical and psychological limits. I can see my improvement in the mirror just after 1 month training. Training with him is a quite enjoyable journey." -Zhengning G. "I am so glad I made the decision to sign up for training sessions with Nathan. I originally aimed to
improve muscle tone, and feel physically stronger in my job as an RN. Nathan listened to my goals and made sure every session worked towards achieving them. The workouts were always challenging, but Nathan was endlessly supportive. I went from feeling out of place at the gym to feeling comfortable lifting weights. In addition to the workouts, Nathan provided personalized nutritional advice. In just a few short months I went from 21.7 to 18.9% body fat, I feel stronger at work, and I love how my body looks. I would highly recommend personal training sessions because they gave me the tools to maintain a level of fitness on my own." -Molly G.
“Having Nathan as my trainer was a privilege. Not only were my goals met, but through Nathan’s direction and influence, I was able to achieve feats that exceeded my personal expectations. This was a direct result of Nathan’s training program and the specific exercises Nathan used to achieve maximum results. While all sessions were tough, Nathan was also able to recognize when certain exercises weren’t appropriate exercises to achieve optimal results and was able to easily find other exercises to substitute. I would highly recommend Nathan to anyone who wants to set their goals high and work hard to achieve them. He will be able to find the appropriate program to achieve one’s goals and will motivate one to do the hard work necessary in order to meet, and exceed their goals. Not only is Nathan a very knowledgeable and professional trainer; he is also an outstanding individual as well. I am happy to have been a client of Nathan’s and am even happier with the friendship that has continued to this day.” -Curtis P. "Last year I turned 40 and realized I needed to start taking my health and fitness more seriously than I ever had before. I was feeling tired and run down a lot, and my pants weren’t fitting quite as well as they used to so something had to give! In the past I would go to the gym for 6 months to a year, bring my fitness level up, then for whatever reason I’d stop going and end up right back where I was before. I set a goal to be in the best shape of my life before I turned 41 and decided to hire Nathan to help me achieve that goal, call it a birthday gift to my current and future self. I started working out with Nathan twice a week and started feeling better almost immediately. It’s amazing how cleaning up your diet and working out on a regular basis will change the way you feel. Working with Nathan was a great experience. He was encouraging and pushed me to improve myself every time we worked out. It was also really helpful to have someone I was accountable to throughout the weeks we worked together. It’s a lot harder to skip a session when you have a set appointment and someone waiting for you, and in the end having a set schedule also helped me develop the habit of going to the gym on my own too. In addition to working out with Nathan twice a week, he also gave me additional workouts to do on my own and he was always available to answer any questions I had. For anyone nervous or unsure about working with a trainer, or anyone looking for a new trainer, I would definitely recommend Nathan. He’s a great motivator and knows how to push you beyond your perceived limits." -Adam C.

I am often asked how frequently one should be exercising. While my answer is usually a joking "All day every day!" there is definitely truth that the more you can can exercise the better off you will be. Here are 2 slides from my medical school cardiology lecture that will hopefully motivate you to get to work!
The problem isn’t willpower. It’s neuroscience. You can’t — and shouldn’t — fight back.

"What defines us is how well we rise after falling."
Don't be afraid to push yourself harder and outside your comfort zone. Just be careful of loose gravel!
My favorite homepage (http://f**kinghomepage.com/) provided very honest and accurate words of wisdom today: "THOSE WHO DON’T HAVE TIME FOR EXERCISE WILL SOONER OR LATER HAVE TO FIND TIME FOR ILLNESS."
As a personal trainer, I often heard lack of time used as an excuse. If your health is important to you, take a hard look at your daily schedule and block off time when you are typically unproductive or wasteful. Then make exercise a priority and part of your routine. Your future self will thank you!

You can’t make gains if you’re missing your workouts. No excuses!
The majority of nutrition and exercise related questions I receive concern how to maximally burn fat. My answer is that strength and interval training lead to greater energy expenditure, greater use of fat for fuel, and the subsequent loss of body fat much more so than endurance and steady-state aerobic exercise!

Winter is a great time to workout both indoors and out. Just remember to stay hydrated as you can easily dehydrate when the air is dry. A good rule of thumb is to drink about 6-12 ounces of water for every 15-20 minutes you exercise.
Cooler fall and winter weather is just around the corner. And adults and kids will soon be partaking in their favorite winter sports: skiing, snow-shoeing, and good, old-fashioned sledding.
