Personal Training

Weight Loss

Our approach to weight loss is fat loss with muscle growth without two-hour cardio sessions or restrictive diets.

strength Gains

Combining overall body conditioning, strength endurance, and resistance training our workout model takes circuit training to the next level to build strength and gain stamina quickly and effectively.

fOcuS on foRm

Picking up heavy things without throwing your back out or pinching a nerve comes down to form, not weight. We’ll work with free weights to increase stability, core strength, and manage demand on the cardiovascular, skeletal, and muscular systems simultaneously.

virtual training

When meeting in person isn’t possible, virtual sessions offer flexibility and convenience.

FAQ

How long before I see results?

There is no universal timeline that every individual can use to see results. Multiple factors may contribute to your individual progress and success, including: training frequency, diet, sleep, and stress. With consistency, it generally takes 6-8 weeks to see and feel physical changes in your body composition. Jo Strong offers sustainable, permanent results and improvement in health through building new habits. Do not expect crash diets or crazy workout routines; they simply DO NOT WORK in the long run. Whatever routine you choose needs to be the same time and mental commitment as the routine you do 6 months from now and next year. Remember, Rome wasn’t built in a day.

Are there refunds? What if I move?

There are no refunds because all sessions can be completed with the right commitment. Jo Strong offers virtual training if the client is out of town and sessions do not expire until six months after purchase.

What if I get sick or need to reschedule?

Let us know in advance the best you can. Our trainers need to plan their schedule and it’s unfair to expect someone to wake up just for you only to find out they aren’t actually going to work OR getting paid. Maybe they canceled a fun date because they’re loyal to their client’s schedule, they deserve the respect/compensation for their time. Accordingly, 24 hour notice is required to change a session day/time.

Will I see results if I only meet once a week?

That’s up to you! Did you get better at cooking by only doing it once a week? It’s possible but it will likely be slow and you may be re-learning things over and over again (which can be expensive over time). Meeting once a week CAN be a successful approach IF you put in the serious work it takes on the other days of the week. It’s perfectly acceptable to use our trainers as an accountability coach to check in with you once a week, but there is an additional fee for providing you with workouts to do on your own.

I heard the owner is a CrossFitter. Will I have to do CrossFit in my private sessions?

Absolutely not (unless YOU want to do CrossFit)! Our trainers customize and cater all sessions specifically to each individual client. Even the owner rarely suggests clients to participate in CrossFit, it’s not the right sport for everyone.

Can my personal trainer help me with stress, sleep, sedentary lifestyle management?

Your trainer may have a tip or trick that has helped them and may be very useful for you too. However, what your trainer may not have experience in is counseling practices to help you dive into why you are so stressed and not able to sleep. Sounds like therapy right? Our Registered Dietitians take a holistic approach for health that focuses more on what’s holding you back from eating the right foods and making time for exercise rather than “what to eat”.

Why can’t my personal trainer manage my nutrition plan?

For nutrition counseling, it is important to see a registered dietitian. Personal trainers don’t usually have the proper education or credentials to manage someone else’s nutrition. Dietitians not only provide you with research and evidence-based nutrition recommendations to help meet your individualized goals, but they also advise in a way that avoids restrictive and unhealthy eating patterns. Did you know that long-term calorie counting and avoiding your favorite foods are signs of disordered eating patterns?
