Reach your health and fitness goals while receiving extra support and motivation from a friend or family member!  Research shows people are more likely to commit to an exercise program for a longer period of time if they train with a partner or small group.  Beyond Fit provides opportunities to participate in partner training or small group training programs with up to four participants.  Group program participants receive a discounted training fee while getting all the luxuries of having a personal trainer.

If you want to lose weight, get healthy and/or build muscle, hiring a personal trainer can be a step in the right direction. A good trainer can help you set up a program that meets your goals and teach you the best way to exercise. Here's what you should know before you hand over the cash.

What is a Personal Trainer?

A personal trainer should be, at the least, educated and certified through a reputable fitness organization. This person's job is to assess your fitness level, set up a program for you and keep you motivated. He or she will push you past your comfort level--something difficult to do on your own. A trainer also provides:

• guidance on reaching your goals
• education about strength training, cardio and basic nutrition
• a reason to show up at the gym each week
• accountability
• ways to help track your progress

Each session lasts from 30 - 60 minutes in our fabulous Harford County Personal Training Studio. The first meeting is a FREE fitness assessment devoted to  assessing fitness level, body measurements, exercise and health history and goals. Be prepared to step on the scale, have your body fat tested and answer specific questions about your goals. After your assessment, we will spend our time focusing on strength training, cardiovascular exercises, functional training, agility, balance, core training and flexibility.
