Personal Training Sessions

Real Life Fitness offers several types of fitness training. You can come to our exclusive Personal Training Studio at 133 Argall Way in Nevada City for one-on-one training, semi-private “partner” training or join a GravityGroupT or GravityPilatesT small group session. Prefer to workout at home? One of our highly trained staff members can bring the equipment to your home or office and work with you there. No matter which training format you choose, you can be certain to get the undivided attention you deserve along with the accountability you need to achieve your fitness goals!

We begin with an initial assessment (this appointment takes place at our studio location) where you and Scott will create a custom training schedule for you designed to achieve your fitness goals. You will also be assigned two trainers at this appointment. This facilitates an uninterrupted training schedule for you as well as a backup for the trainers in case of vacation, illness or family emergency. In order to be effective, it is recommended that you train a minimum of two times per week with your trainers and at least once a week on your own with our direction.

Training at Nevada County's exclusive Personal Training Studio:

Meet your Real Life Fitness trainer at our studio for your fitness training. Conveniently located right off the freeway in Nevada City, our private training studio features a unique variety of cardio equipment as well as stability and medicine balls, exercise tubing, the BOSU, Power Blocks, the Functional Trainer, GTS Total Gym (Gravity Training System), The PowerPlate, (Vibrational Training) and the Bowflex. With one-on-one training in the studio you will choose between full sessions (approximately 55 minutes) or half sessions ( approximately 25 minutes) with or without use of the Power Plate. (Power Plate sessions are slightly shorter, because of the increased efficiency of the workout!) Arrive 15 minutes early for your appointment to warm up on our cardio equipment, then spend your workout time exclusively with your training, working to achieve your personal goals. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, private environment in which to exercise with the guidance of a certified fitness professional, studio training may be the perfect fit!

Personal fitness training in the comfort of your home or office:

Let one of our trainers bring all of the equipment you will need to get a great workout (excluding cardio). To keep your workout routine fun, effective and interesting, we use a variety of non-traditional fitness equipment as well as the traditional. Stability and medicine balls, the BOSU, exercise tubing and Power Blocks, just to name a few. One-on-one home sessions are approximately 55 minutes in length while semi-private home sessions range from 55 to 70 minutes. If you want total privacy and the ultimate in convenience, this may be the best choice for you.


Initial Assessment

We require all new personal training clients to go through our initial assessment prior to training. The fee for this includes periodic reassessment (approx. every 3 months) at no charge. During this visit, Scott will review your health history, help you establish realistic goals, discuss your dietary habits and then perform the following 'measurements' to help establish a benchmark:

  • Body Weight
  • Lung Capacity
  • Symmetrigraf Posture Screening
  • Exercise Heart Rate Calculations
  • Body Composition (optional)
  • Blood Pressure
  • Girth Measurements
  • Sub-Maximal Cardio Vascular Screening

    The results of this initial assessment will assist your trainers in prescribing an exercise program that will help you achieve yours goals and information that will assist in measuring your progress.


  • Cardio Conditioning

    Many of our clients have goals that include improved cardio vascular fitness, reduced blood pressure and weight loss. Cardio conditioning is designed with these clients in mind. This can be done inside or outside – as long as you have your heart rate monitor on.. Let one of our trainers help you learn how to work in the appropriate heart rate zone to achieve your goals! Cardio conditioning is available in half (up to 30 minutes) and full (31 – 55 minutes) sessions.

    *Various packages are available. See the fee schedule for all the details.

    Power Plate Training


    See Power Plate Training.
    Power Plate has caused a revolution in the fitness, health and wellness, beauty and anti-aging industries. The secret? Anyone can achieve great success in a very short period of time. With the push of a button, Power Plate produces a vibration through which energy is transferred to the body. This mechanical stimulus produces a stretch reflex which, depending on the frequency, results in rapid and intense muscle contractions 30-50 times per second.
    The Power Plate has already made a substantial impact in the world of sports medicine and strength and conditioning and is gaining attention among mainstream health and fitness professionals and alternative health centers across the country.
    However, Power Plate is not merely a training method for elite athletes, but also for individuals young and old, regardless of their physical and neurological condition, who want to live longer healthier lives. Vibration training on the Power Plate offers a host of benefits such as considerably improving muscle strength, flexibility, range of motion, bone density and stimulating blood circulation. Additionally, studies have proven Power Plate's ability to reduce muscle pain and soreness, and expedite the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons.

    Post-Rehab and Medically Necessary Exercise


    When you've finished your physical therapy, you may wonder what comes next?
    Or you may have a medical condition where exercise can assist in your treatment, but aren't sure what's safe or how to get started.

    We have the training and proper exercise protocol on hand to review with your doctor, chiropractor or physical therapist. If you have been injured on the job, we also can invoice most workman's compensation insurance companies.




    Semi-private Training

    Do you have a friend or spouse that is as committed as you are?
    Try partner training!
    Semiprivate training occurs when 2 people choose to work out together. The benefits are that compliance increases when you are held accountable to a workout partner and the session price decreases per person when shared with a friend or spouse!
    This is also a fun, economical way to try out personal training.



    Golf Training


     

    Are you stuck in a scoring plateau?
    We can help you by strengthening your core to help you drive the ball farther and lower your handicap! Research shows that a regular, Golf-Specific, exercise routine can help prevent the injuries that can slow you down.
