Success Story #13:  Stronger Inside and Out: One Woman's Journey from Weight Struggles to Total Wellness

The majority of our clients all lead busy lives balancing their career and family life. This is why our clients have found having an appointment to workout and fit exercise into their life is very important to making sure they do what’s necessary to take care of themselves. If you’re busy too, then it’s even more important that you DO make time for exercise so you can have more energy and be able to handle the demands of a hectic schedule. Plus, as you progress and your energy level increases, you will find that you are more productive with what you do. When you are getting more done in less time, you actually end up with MORE free time! We work around your schedule, with training sessions starting as early as 6am and going straight through to 9 at night. Surely, we have a time that we can make work for you. In fact, having a set appointment will make it easy for you to get in and out of the studio efficiently. Even if you can only fit 3 sessions a week into your schedule, making time for yourself is important and will be MUCH better than doing nothing

The investment in our program depends on you. We have clients that train anywhere from 3-6 times per week depending on their schedules, motivation, goals, and budget. We personalize your program cost, just like we personalize our clients sessions.  During your introductory session and consultation we will make a couple program options to best fit your goals and budget. But in general the investment runs between $45-$66 per session and we don’t require any memberships or contracts.  You can purchase sessions in “Bulk” to discount your rate, but keep in mind this is an investment in your health, and without your health… what do you really have? 

That depends on how quickly we can help you integrate the program into your life. Obviously, the more you can follow the program we put together for you, the faster you will see the results you’re looking for. The majority of our clients generally feel better and have a LOT more energy within the first couple weeks, begin losing weight and inches in the first month, and will typically lose anywhere from 4-12% body fat after about two to three months time. For some examples of what’s possible, take a look at what other clients in our program have achieved. Their results are VERY substantial!

Yes, we can. This is definitely what separates us. We’ll review this in more detail in your introductory consultation and initial fitness assessment, but we make sure to start your program at the right pace for you. Your safety is our first and foremost concern. Our program design method features a personalized and scientifically-based program that takes into account all health history, current fitness level, and performance levels to make sure we start you off at the right level. All our trainers are degreed and nationally certified, and go through a rigorous in house training program with very specific protocols for working with people with all types of conditions, fitness levels or prior injury history. We’ve worked with clients that have had all types of injuries in the past including hip and knee replacements, ACL injuries, shoulder injuries, stroke, heart attacks, MS, fibromyalgia, and more. Please let us know about your specific conditions and we’ll let you know how we can help. Also, we offer a Medical Professional Communication Program or Physical Therapist to coordinate with your them on your program and make sure you get the complete care you need. We’re here to help and be part of your recovery and goal achievement team!

Nutrition is a MAJOR piece of getting in shape, improving your health or accelerating your performance results. This is again where Northstar Fitness is significantly different than most personal trainers, gyms or other weight loss programs.  In fact, it’s the foundation of everything when it comes to ramping up your metabolism, getting your body to burn fat, build muscle, strength and getting maximum performance in your workouts. We spend a lot of time working with all our clients on this aspect of their program. When we begin working together we’ll schedule a special nutrition consultation with you to design a nutrition program that works for you. But don’t worry, you won’t be starved for food or anything like that. Most of our clients end up eating MORE than they used to, but now with healthier choices of foods. We’ll also spend time reviewing the importance of nutritional supplementation with you. It’s important that you fill in the voids in what you’re not getting from your diet, and always have good nutrition options that are balanced, convenient, and easy to prepare- so you keep your “metabolic fire” burning!  All critical aspects to achieving your next level goals.
