Education is the key to figuring out what you might need to improve or create new and healthier habits. We can teach you how nutrition plays a role in your fitness journey.

The best part of having a personal trainer is that we ensure that you commit and stick to your fitness goals.

Picture this:

Have you ever walked into a gym and just wandered around a few machines and only did a few bicep curls using weights that were too heavy, too light, or you have no idea which. Then, feeling uncomfortable and unsatisfied, you walked out! This is the scenario for many, many people; you are not alone!

We can help alleviate those feelings by having a customized plan for you before going to the gym or before starting your workouts at home. Having a plan gives your purpose and an approximate time frame of what is needed to complete your workouts. We can help you from the start to the next level and ensure that you are challenging yourself .

The best part of having a fitness program is the improved mental health. Exercising can boost your mood. Multiple studies have shown that your heart rate increases and with that increased oxygen to your brain. A well oxygenated brain helps to lower your anxiety and depression. In addition, 20 to 30 minutes of aerobic exercise helps your body release endorphins and other mood enhancing chemicals like serotonin and dopamine which are chemicals that interacts with receptors in your brain.

But wait, there’s more! Being fit and having regular exercise may create new neurons in the hippocampus region of the brain associated with memory, learning, and emotions. Multiple studies showed that your hippocampus is optimized when new neurons are generated through regular workouts, and you might feel emotionally stable in the long term. For those who want to learn more, look up words like enhance memory, cognitive functioning, plasticity, learning capabilities, hippocampal neurogenesis, counteracting disease, or age related mental impairment for a start.

Don’t forget to learn more about the feel good hormones called endorphins that produce happy and euphoric feelings. The release of these hormones are linked with a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, and nutritious dietary choices. Living a healthy lifestyle, getting adequate sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising consistently can help us feel good, not just short-term, but for the time ahead. Endorphins reduce pain, promote social connections, alleviate depression, reduce stress, and improve self-esteem. Oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released into the bloodstream by the pituitary gland. Low oxytocin levels have been linked to depression, and increasing oxytocin levels naturally can help combat this.

Factors contributing to happiness include doing the things you want to do, maintaining positive relationships, and feeling content with your situation.
