Personal Training

Benefits of Exercising with a Physical Equilibrium Personal Trainer

Achieving physical equilibrium can vary significantly from person to person. That’s why Physical Equilibrium specializes in offering highly targeted and customizable personal training workouts for each of our clients. After an initial fitness assessment, our trainers develop a personal training plan that incorporates a mix of weight training, core exercises and cardiovascular routines that when combined correctly, are proven to generate noticeable results fast!

Personal Training Areas of Focus

Physical Equilibrium’s personal trainers are experienced with the most innovative fitness techniques and in creating workout regimens designed to focus on obtaining:

Muscular Strength
Weight Loss
Cardiovascular Endurance
Fat Reduction
Mass Increase
Athletic Development
Post Rehabilitation
Pre/Post Natal Fitness

Nutrition & Diet Management

Physical Equilibrium is one of the only private personal training boutiques with multiple registered dietitian’s on-staff. That’s important as personal training must be complimented by a balanced diet to ensure fitness goals and to reach a state of physical equilibrium.

Do you need Physical Equilibrium to help with your diet and nutrition? Ask yourself these questions to find out:

Are you working out consistently but not seeing the results you want?
Do you have a hard time sticking to a healthy eating plan?
Have you ever considered gradual steps toward lifestyle changes rather than short-term restrictions?
Are you confused about what healthy eating should be?
Do you simply need nutritional management or personal training guidance pertaining to a specific health condition?

While it’s recommended, you don’t need to be receiving personal training from a Physical Equilibrium trainer in order to purchase our nutrition and diet management services.

Eating Habits don’t change overnight

Behavior change relating from personal training and eating habits does not occur over night. What you eat is a huge part of a health and fitness program. Our goal is to help you develop a healthy relationship with food that compliments your personal training and creates long-lasting results.

Physical Equilibrium’s nutrition and diet management services can be customized to help with:

Weight Management
Diabetes

Pre & Post Natal Fitness

Many of Physical Equilibrium’s personal trainers are certified by the AFPA as pre and post natal exercise specialists.

Why Choose Pre/Post Natal Exercise?

Studies indicate that women who exercise during pregnancy usually experience easier labors and a faster return to their pre-pregnancy body. It is both safe and appropriate to exercise all throughout pregnancy, and the earlier you start, the more beneficial it will be. In addition, regular exercise during pregnancy combats back pain and can increase circulation and endurance, providing women with more energy throughout the day.

Physical Equilibrium personal trainers are experienced in:

How to exercise safely throughout the natural body changes that occur during pregnancy
How to minimize back problems and promote effective pushing in labor through proper strengthening of the abdominal muscles
Strengthening and stretching the essential muscle groups, especially the hips, back, abdominals and pelvic floor
Postpartum – the most effective exercises to quickly return to your pre-pregnancy body. Emphasis is on a strong core, as well as increasing overall fitness and strength

Office Ergonomics Training

According to the Web site WebMD, “ergonomics is the study of the kind of work you do, the environment you work in and the tools you use to do your job.” Physical Equilibrium personal trainers are certified to teach working professionals how to deal with pain and suffering that occurs from unsatisfactory working conditions.
