Do you want an EXPERIENCED fitness consultant with real degrees and real certifications? Do you want more than those typical come-on lines like "Flat abs in 30 days or your money back"? Do you have special medical concerns that need to be considered, or perhaps just a quick question that you want an accurate SANE answer for? If so, give me a call or email me! I have been in the fitness industry for 25 years and have had a wide range of experiences, from teaching public school health and phys. ed. to teaching college students how to become personal trainers. I have researched and published on weight loss methods as well as sports performance. I have taught exercise classes from basic aerobics to senior fitness. Plus, I have personally had to rehabilitate myself from a car accident that demolished both of my ankles. Besides the obvious orthopedic challenges, I had to deal with weight gain and depression. I am happy to report that my doctors told me I mystify them - according to my X-rays, my severe arthritis should have me hobbling around, yet I am still actively participating in sports plus my weight and body fat levels are "healthy" - that is, I am not overweight nor underweight.
For a better initial contact with me, write down your questions. For individualized program needs, also jot down your exercise likes and dislikes, your short and long term goals, plus any medications you are taking (even supplements of any sort). You will need to tell me your age and health status. All of this will better enable us to determine your program needs. BUT if you are looking for a quick fix, a body builder supplement guru, or empty promises, I'm not the one for you.
For phone calls, unless you have an incredibly simple question, please plan on 5-10 minutes. Three minutes is a long time only when you are waiting for water to boil! For in-depth, individualized assessment plans or programs, please email me. You will be asked by Keen to pre-pay for the services as follows:
- General Fitness-Related Questions (2 max): I charge $.10 per word for the answers. For instance, a 300-word answer would cost $30. This is about the size of my info above.
- At-Home Self-Assessment Kit: $25
- Personal 1-Month Program Starter Guide: $50
- Follow-Up 1-Month Guides: $20 per order
Please note that no programs can be provided without the at-home self-assessment answers.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a physician nor a dietitian. I am an exercise physiologist with a PhD, certified as an exercise specialist by the American College of Sports Medicine. I do not diagnose medical conditions nor provide specific meal plans. Any information I give does not replace your doctor's advice. Consult your doctor before pursuing any recommendations received from me or elsewhere, especially if you have a health issue, or if you are over 50 or under 18 years of age.
