Fitness

Adequate nutrition and movement are key lifestyle factors that have a huge influence in our wellbeing and quality of life - they walk hand-in-hand, perfectly complementing each other.  A bit like peanut butter & jelly :-).

Why is movement so good?
Regular physical activity and movement have an astonishing range of scientifically-backed benefits for our physical, mental, emotional, and social health.  It is safe to say that movement is a fundamental aspect of life. It affects everything from circulation to digestion to metabolism to immunity. Our body contributes far more to our lives than just physical attributes such as strength and looks – it plays a major role in emotions, learning, and relationships.

What can you expect from me as your Coach?
As a certified Personal Trainer with over 10 years experience, you can expect that I will:

• Share with you the joy of movement and living an active lifestyle. I walk the talk!
• Teach you optimal technique, helping you build capabilities for everyday life challenges.  
• Help you push the limits safely, helping you trust your own body's cues to know when you can "go for gold" (if you want, naturally!).
• Help you define what an "active lifestyle" looks like for YOU as a unique individual - supporting you in choosing sports, activities, and movement you enjoy and want to keep doing, and perhaps even new ones you haven't considered before.

GETTING STARTED

STEP #1: Get in touch using the link below to schedule your free of cost (or obligation) Coaching Assessment Call: BOOK HERE . Cannot find a time-slot that works for you? Please send me an e-mail and I'll provide you with different options according to your availability.

STEP # 2: Either in person or online, we will complete a screening for risk factors and health conditions, and complete a 'readiness for change' assessment.  This is so I can get to know you as a person.  We will talk about your experience with movement and exercise; what's worked and what hasn't in the past and why; likes and dislikes; how you move; where you are now in terms of movement and exercise, and where you would like to be; whether and how you would like to keep track of progress; amongst other information that will help me get to know you as a unique individual. Think of it as an ongoing friendly and impartial conversation.

STEP # 3: Decide what training could/should look like for you - type of training, frequency, intensity, and performance or outcome tracking options.  A unique exercise programme will be developed for you depending on the package you decide to sign-up for.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Where does in-person training take place?
Prices quoted are for in-person training sessions taking place at my fully-equipped personal training studio.  Located conveniently near the Horgen Oberdorf Station and with onsite parking.  

Feel Good Zone
Tödistrasstrasse 64
8810 Horgen

Can you also come to train with me at my house or at an agreed outdoor location?
Depending on my schedule, this can be arranged, but please bear in mind that this would incur additional charges and I would account for traveling time as 'session' time.

How do the virtual workouts work? Are the workouts personalised to me?
I work with the platform/app Everfit, which enables you to track workouts, eating habits, and agreed tasks, amongst other things from your phone or tablet via a user-friendly app (free to download). It's an amazing accountability tool for those of us who could do with a little extra motivation to stay on track - and let's face it, who doesn't?!  Through the app, you are able to access completely personalised workouts (in video format), recommendations, nutrition guidance, etc.  Please note that this option is only available when signing up for 10 or more personal training sessions.

Can I combine personal training with nutrition coaching?
Absolutely. Adequate nutrition and fitness walk hand-in-hand, and so it's possible to do combined coaching sessions. What the sessions would look like and how much time we would allocate to each 'discipline' will vary according to your goals and individual necessities.

What kind of workouts can I expect?
To put it simply, the type that is realistic according to your current fitness level and health condition, but always looking to deliver whichever goals you may have.  I will ensure that the workouts are enjoyable and that you feel motivated to complete them.  As your Coach, it's also my job to encourage you to get out of your comfort zone and try different things, or to "go for gold" when appropriate.  

A typical personal training session for someone whose goal is to build strength, improve mobility, and mitigate strain caused by inactivity (e.g. someone with a desk-bound occupation) would include:

• An adequate warm-up consisting of mobilisation exercises as well as low-medium intensity cardio.
• Strength training using small-medium equipment or bodyweight.  We will also work on balance, power output and core strengthening exercises.
• A relaxing cool down routine with assisted stretches and mechanical massage (with TheraBody).
