That depends where you live, if you’re willing to drive to me, if we are working together online and what time of the day you’re looking to work out. Send me an email or call me and I’ll quote you my best rate for a Personal Trainer in your area of New Jersey.

The average woman typically has significantly less testosterone than men, and testosterone is the hormone in the human body responsible for building and maintaining muscle mass. I haven’t become bulky in 2 decade of lifting weights so chances are most females won’t either. “Bulk” comes from eating in a caloric surplus and/or taking performance enhancing substance. I’ve never worked with a woman that felt too bulky from training with me, no matter how hard we tried in the gym.

The best workout is the one you’ll stick to. Even if it’s not the most scientifically strategic workout, working out consistently with at least moderate intensity is far better than doing nothing as long as you’re using proper form and not doing anything dangerous to risk injury. Your personal preference matters when it comes to your fitness program so I’ll be asking your opinion regularly.

Depending on your genetics, work ethic and nutrition- I can do my best to help you get a 6pack. I personally feel 6 packs are overrated as constant dieting is exhausting, but some people have milestones and goals that revolve around them so I can certainly create a program that is core specific. Diet is such a crucial part of achieving a low body fat % so I can’t stress the importance of having healthy eating habits when it comes to getting lean. enough

No, I do not exercise with or endorse Crossfit. Don’t get me wrong, some of their members are in great shape and are very knowledgeable- but the overall attitude and exercise habits of a lot of Crossfitters isn’t what I recommend. I believe in lifting moderately heavy weights and sufficient rest periods, whereas sometimes their gyms do a LOT of max lifting (1 rep max or 1RM). If you’re testing your 1RM too often your chance of injury is greatly increased. My style of training emphasizes technique, safety and staying healthy. It’s not about doing everything you can to be in the best shape of your life this year, it’s about being healthy, fit, and as happy as possible the rest of your life. My view is I’d rather be at 80% of my potential for the next 30 years than be at 100% everyday and deal with the injury/burnout risks that come along with it.

At first, nothing. Let’s get through a basic workout together before you invest money in equipment. But if you’re serious about getting results you’re eventually going to want to purchase a few things. I tend to keep workout routines on the simpler side so there’s no need for anything fancy or super expensive, usually dumbbells and some resistance bands will do. The most important part of your training comes down to your consistency and effort, we don’t need an elaborate gym to get great results.

I typically do not eat breakfast as I’ve never been much of a morning eater. I have clients that have had success skipping breakfast, cutting off eating around 5/6pm, a more standard format and everything in between. None of them hard your metabolism and none of them are inherently unhealthy. Health is a nuanced topic and everyone is on their own journey. One of my strengths as a Personal Trainer is understanding that, and figuring out which way is best for you.
