Personal Training

The first session is a follow-up from our brief phone chat. It's different from a typical training session because it's less about moving and more about your goals and preferences. This first meeting is also a bit longer than a typical training session — it will be about 1 hour 15 minutes long, while a training session lasts 50 minutes. Here's a typical agenda for our first meeting: • check in and share any updates since the phone chat • discuss goals and priorities, experiences related to exercise, and physical activity likes and dislikes • do some light movement that includes simple, gentle, customized exercises • discuss what ongoing training could look like (no obligation to continue)

No, I'll bring everything we need! If you have equipment you'd like to use, we can incorporate that into our workouts.

The only thing you need to do is identify a small amount of space where we'll train. Try to select an area that will give you at least 6x6 feet of floor space. We'll come up with a plan together during our first meeting!

Yes! Working out with a friend, colleague, or partner is a great way to have fun and keep yourself accountable in the long run. There's no additional charge for duo sessions.

Yes and yes. We can meet on your screen, at your home, in your workplace, or outdoors (like at a park or on the bike path).

I prioritize helping you get moving a way that will be fun for you, no matter where you are, what equipment you have, and how much time you have. My approach is: • Grounded science and behavior change theory. I'll help you understand the "why" behind what we're doing so you become a long-term, active participant in your own health. • Focused on fun and other things that make it easier to get and stay healthy. (If you're looking for a stringent "drop-and-give-me-20" trainer, I'm not your gal. We'll laugh and play through our sessions.) • Minimalist and accessible — we'll weave fitness into your environment and everyday life in ways that feel right to you.

For in-person services, I travel to Northampton and surrounding towns. Not sure if you're within my service area? Please reach out!

From a behavioral science perspective, evidence shows that any behavior change takes time — typically at least 8-12 weeks with a strong weekly commitment. Your brain and body need repeated, consistent practice before new habits can form and start to feel natural. On the training side, your body needs this time, too. Our first few weeks together will be about learning form and building a foundation. Weeks 6-12 are when you typically see real strength gains and energy improvements. A 3-month partnership gives us a chance to really get the results you're looking for, while also learning how to keep building on your progress.

Personal training may be an eligible expense. Plans typically require a Letter of Medical Necessity (LMN) from your healthcare provider. Please check your plan, and I'll be happy to provide any documentation you might need from me.

I require 24 hours notice to cancel any session. After that, you'll be charged for the session (see Terms + Conditions (www.lizzieshealthclub.com/termsandconditions)for details).
