PERSONAL TRAINING

Training Notes

Why Hire a Trainer?

Sometimes joining a gym can be overwhelming. Sometimes workouts get dull and don’t seem to have the same effect anymore. Sometimes without being held responsible, there is no coming to the gym. For whatever the reason is, Capital Fitness offers personal trainer services to meet anyone’s needs.
Working with a personal trainer is like investing in a new car that you know will take you from point A to point B without any trouble. Personal training makes a gym membership worthwhile; for it gives you the information and the skills you need to succeed. It can change your life.

Benefits of hiring a personal trainer include:

  • Short term or long term completion of goals
  • Safety in the weight room
  • Comfort
  • Accountability
  • Keeps working out fun and not boring
  • Will get you over a plateau
  • RESULTS

For some, meeting with a personal trainer on a regular basis is what keeps them in shape. For others, a session here and there to get on a new program is all that is needed. Our trainers are flexible and can accommodate you in whatever direction you decide to go.

DEBBIE LOISELLE


Debbie Loiselle has changed her life by eating exercise for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Today, Debbie bikes to work for breakfast, takes lunch at Capital Fitness, and bikes home for dinner. She has slowly adopted these healthy aspects into her life after her car broke down in 1987 and she had to ride her bike.

Debbie found herself enjoying her bike rides to work and continued to bike to work for years, but did not feel that she was in shape from the waist up. That is when she read an advertisement for a new health club and met with a nice woman in the basement of a building on Johnson Street. That day, Debbie took a leap of faith. She filled out paperwork and paid monthly dues to a health club facility that was not yet built. That club was Capital Fitness. Debbie was one of the first members to walk through the doors when we opened in March of 1999.

Debbie was excited to come into the club everyday and use the machines. Unfortunately, because she did not change her routine, Debbie became bored with the machines and stopped seeing physical results. Luckily, Capital Fitness General Manager, Stephanie Von Stein, suggested that Debbie might like to try some classes. At the time, Debbie was able to sign up for 10 PowerFlex classes (This class is now called Functional Flex.) for twenty dollars. (We are so lucky to get to take all of the classes for free now!) These PowerFlex classes were the beginning of Debbie's love for weight training. It took some time though; Debbie will admit to not being able to sit at her desk for three days after her first class with Katie because her muscles were so sore.

Debbie also found that she enjoyed Trekking. At first, she walked the entire class. She would then run for fifteen minutes and eventually worked up to thirty minutes. Debbie then added a challenge for herself. She would run one mile before class began. Her goal was to be able to run three miles in thirty minutes. She reached that goal and still runs one day a week and completed a four mile News Years Eve run in Central Park in a little over forty-nine minutes.

By taking multiple classes in different disciplines, Debbie was keeping herself mentally motivated. She was also seeing more physical results. However J she still wanted to accomplish more. That is when Debbie began taking Functional Flex from Kristin and found that she really enjoyed her training style. Debbie talks about those classes by saying, "There were times when I was in class with as many as eight people, yet I still felt [as if Kristin] were training me individually." Debbie now takes trains with Kristin one day a week individually to help her meet her changing goals.

Today, Debbie is forty-seven years old and continues to bike to work 365 days a year. She says that working with a personal trainer is,"...a must do at least once. You learn your weak points, your strong points, and increase your stamina." Capital Fitness has personal trainers with a variety of backgrounds and training styles because we feel it is important for people to be able to work with a personal trainer that will be able to most effectively meet the member's goals with a training style they are comfortable with. With a changing program, group exercise classes, and the help of a personal trainer, Debbie Loiselle has gotten in shape and made exercise part of her lifestyle.
