Prenatal & Postpartum Training

An increasing number of women are hiring personal trainers to help keep them fit and healthy before, during and after their pregnancy…and Whole Body Fitness welcomes all new moms! Our fitness team works hard to continually gain knowledge in specific fitness industry fields so that their clients benefit from the most up-to-date information!

All Whole Body Fitness trainers have obtained a Pre and Postnatal Fitness Instruction certification through Healthy Moms. Healthy Moms® is an organization dedicated to enhancing the physical and psychological well being of women before, during, and after pregnancy. In addition to keeping “moms healthy”, Healthy Moms is an industry leader in perinatal fitness education, training, and certification for fitness and health professionals who care for women throughout the childbearing year since 1987. Visit www.healthymomsfitness.com for more information.

We look forward to sharing all of this information with our pre and postnatal clients!

Say good-bye to the myth of the "delicate" condition and hello to pregnancy in the 21st century! Current research continues to show that women can safely exercise and maintain their levels of fitness during the pre-natal period. Women who continue to exercise regularly throughout their pregnancies are less likely to need medical intervention during labor and delivery (i.e., pitocin use, forceps delivery, etc.) and experience less time in both active labor and during the second ("pushing") stage. They also gain less fat and recover more quickly than sedentary pregnant women. With these findings in mind, more and more women are starting an exercise program or continuing to exercise during their pregnancies.

One of the best things about staying active during your pregnancy is that you feel great. As many studies have shown - and active Moms will tell you - if you maintain a regular exercise program, your body will be in better shape throughout your pregnancy and more fit for delivery.

An exercise program has real pay-offs:

• A fit heart
  
• Healthy lungs
  
• Better blood sugar control
  
• Feel-good endorphins
  
• Good posture
  
• Stronger bones
  
• Toned muscles
  
• Better bladder control
  
• Fewer varicose veins and blood clots
  
• Less Painful labor
  
• Quicker post-pregnancy recovery
  
• Good weight management
  
• A positive emotional outlook
  
• Stress relief
  
• Fewer interventions required at delivery
  
• Healthy birth and baby weight

Three Tiered Recognition System

Are all personal trainers equal? Unfortunately, no. As the demand for personal trainers continues to grow, and as more fitness professionals enter this field, there remains no single, standard qualification or certification required in order for a person to practice as a personal fitness trainer. Until now, there has been no way to distinguish an outstanding personal trainer from an unqualified one.

Anyone with a business card and a basic knowledge of fitness can claim to be a personal trainer. Alarming as it is, this is reality and it does a terrible injustice to the many experienced and credentials personal trainers doing so much good. This situation also places consumers at risk and puts an unfair burden on them to screen and research the credentials and background of a potential trainer. There is no question that consumers need to educate themselves about what to look for when selecting a personal trainer but it is time for the fitness industry to give them some help.

All Whole Body Fitness Trainers are recognized by IDEA Health & Fitness Association with 136,000 personal fitness & wellness professionals in 80 Countries. 2 trainers are ranked Master, the highest level of achievement, 1 Elite and the rest our Professional ranked

The lack of industry standards for personal trainers is a troubling situation that threatens the credibility of this profession. Now, with the IDEA-PFT Recognition System, consumers have an important tool that they can use to find qualified trainers.

It is time to adopt practical industry standards for personal trainers so we can put an end to the confusion about certifications, degrees and how to choose a qualified personal fitness trainer. It is time for qualified personal fitness trainers to receive the professional recognition that they deserve while giving consumers access to the very best that this profession has to offer.

Whole Body Fitness has created a Three Tiered Recognition System for qualified personal trainers. This benefits consumers seeking qualified personal trainers. We affirm a trainer's commitment to the highest ethical standards and categorize qualified individuals based on education, certification, experience and community service.

The Whole Body Fitness Trainer Recognition System addresses these problems by recognizing specific quality benchmarks for personal trainers who have demonstrated their commitment to education and/or certification and the highest ethical standards. This type of recognition system was originally developed by the IDEA Health & Fitness Association, the World's largest association for fitness & wellness professionals with 136,000 members in over 80 countries since 1982.

We want you to have the best that this profession has to offer!

Why Hire a Personal Trainer?

Are you getting the most out of your time at the gym…?

Why work with a personal trainer ?

When you hire a personal trainer you are not just purchasing their physical presence and guidance through your workouts but also their education, experience, knowledge and expertise with program development and design.

Our bodies have more than 200 bones, over 600 muscles and approximately 230 moveable & semi-moveable joints. Let’s face it, our bodies are extremely complex!

Personal trainers have been educated in these complexities and therefore, are uniquely qualified to help you achieve your personal fitness goals as safely and quickly as possible. In addition, Personal Trainers are continuously re-educating themselves to make sure they keep up to date with the latest and greatest fitness programs, exercises, and techniques.

If you choose to hire a Personal Trainer, you might spend a little more up front, but you will definitely receive a far better return for your investment.

A Personal Trainer will help you with the right combination of exercise movements and techniques to use while doing them. They will also help you with proper form, range of motion, and intensity necessary to achieve the results you want without hurting yourself. Proper nutritional components to fuel your body’s needs are important on order to progress too.

A Personal Trainer will conduct an initial fitness assessment by gathering your lifestyle history and listening to what you want to accomplish. Your trainer will then create a personalized fitness program custom tailored around your specific needs and goals.

Once your program is created, your trainer will explain methods, principles and reasoning behind every aspect of your program’s design and execution.

As you progress, your trainer will monitor your improvements and fine-tune your program as needed by making the necessary adjustments in order to help you advance to the next level.

Because your trainer has a vested interest in your success, they are just as motivated about your pending body transformation as you are. Together, you will work side by side as a team in a joint effort to ensure you achieve the personal and fitness goals of your dreams.

For those of you who already know your way around the gym, a Personal Trainer can be very beneficial as well.

If you find yourself at a point in your training where you have reached a plateau and can’t seem to make further progress, or you are simply bored with your current routine, then a Personal Trainer is exactly what you need!

A Personal Trainer can take a close look at what you are doing in your current program and offer you a fresh perspective based on their professional knowledge of the most up to date health & fitness advancements.

After evaluating what you have been doing, your personal trainer can then recommend the appropriate adjustments to your current program that will jumpstart your workouts in order to help you to advance to the next level.

Whether your goal is to lose weight, increase lean body mass, or simply improve your health, hiring a personal trainer is the quickest & safest way to put you on track to a slimmer, stronger, healthier and more energetic you!

Don’t allow time spent time gym to become wasted in the gym.

Let a personal trainer maximize your results!

A personal trainer can:

• Provide an initial fitness assessment
  
• Help you set safe and realistic goals
  
• Help keep you consistent and accountable to your workout goals and progress
  
• Create an enjoyable exercise environment
  
• Motivate you to challenge yourself at every workout session for maximum results
