This review came from a client who has always been active but never did any resistance training. Her doctor a year ago told her to start adding some 2-3 days a week for her overall health.

When we first met she was nervous about having no gym experience and she was scared how her knees would feel.

From there we sat down and created a 12 month plan. 4 months of building a foundation, increasing her coordination, getting her comfortable lifting weights, and mixing in some basic rehab exercises for her knees. Then 6 months of gradually increasing her intensity and focusing on some overall strength, hypertrophy, and continuing knee rehab. These last 2 months the workouts remained the same but we slowly transitioned her into working out alone and less with me.

She has reached a goal weight and now her knees are pain free. Her confidence and accountability working out alone are great and now our plan is to continue with sessions only 1-2 times a month to check in.

To me as a trainer not every client needs to have sessions multiple times a week. Teaching my clients how to maintain their success on their own with some occasional assistance is just as exciting as clients who work with me every step of the way to reach their goals.
