Frequently Asked Questions

How many sessions does it typically take to establish a program?
It depends on the nature of your training, and how far out your competition is, if this is why you are training with us. Everyone is different, as it depends on your experience and overall "comfort level" in the gym. You can "use us as much as you can or need to". We will discuss this, and we NEVER pressure anyone into purchasing extra sessions. When you fill out the Questionnaire, you can guess-timate how many times you may need.

Do you offer nutritional consulting?
We offer consulting, guidance, and tips. We will sometimes review food journals, but we do not write complete nutritional programs. "Proper" nutrition can account for 75% of the battle towards reaching your goals, so we will discuss nutrition at length. For our athletes, we provide tips and sample pre-post-workout mea ideas and recommend nutritional supplements when appropriate..

Do I need a medical clearance to personal train with you?
We will have you fill out a "PAR-Q" (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire) prior to training designed to identify the small percentage of individuals for whom physical activity may be inappropriate or should have medical advice concerning what physical activity is appropriate for them. Also, if you are coming to us with orthopedic (or otherwise) medical restrictions, we may ask for clearance and discuss your Physical Therapy options with you.

EBF PERFORMANCE MEDICAL / EXERCISE HISTORY & LIFESTYLE QUESTIONNAIRE

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our questionnaire, and please, keep in mind, the more you tell us, the better job we can do individualizing your fitness program. If you are filling out this questionnaire as opposed to our General Personal Training Questionnaire, we assume either one of the trainers recommended this or you have looked over our Services & Programs and feel this most appropriate because you are training for sport, performance, or are advanced in your fitness level. This questionnaire helps to maximize our time efficiency with you, especially during our first meeting, allowing us to follow up with specific details about what you are hoping to receive from our services. Thanks again, we look forward to meeting you, and will be contacting you as soon as possible.
