Chris Stenger before & after personal training with Fitness Resources
Fitness Resources personal trainers are here to help you take the first steps for losing the weight.
Here at Fitness Resources we have state of the art equipment such as Star Trac Human Sport® machines and Star Trac® aerobic machine. Our exercise machines allow our trainers to design programs for circuit training in order to burn calories more effectively or strength training to increase muscle mass which requires the body to burn more fuel.
Fitness Resources trainers understand the challenges that come with being overweight and are here to help personally guide you, motivate you and support you with your journey through weight loss to the body you deserve.
Our trainers have also been specifically trained in nutrition and behavior modification. Our trainers will give you nutritional guidance as related to public information and the latest research on nutrition. When trainers feels a client may need additional nutritional guidance due to a chronic disease, they will refer the client to a local dietitian and work with the dietitian to help the client achieve their goals.
Weight loss is a priority challenge for all of us. And as we get older, our own hormones change and we may lose muscle mass due to lack of exercise. Lack of exercise and poor nutrition can affect sleep patterns, stress, hormones, and hormones.
You only have one body.
If you’ve made getting back into shape and managing your weight a priority, contact us to take the first step.
Mark Mayes can help you get started strength training to build strength, sculpt your body, improve endurance and overall wellbeing
Fitness Resources works with elite athletes, weekend warriors, men and women who want to sculpt their physique or just improve overall strength and endurance. Fitness Resources provides a comprehensive strength evaluation the staff uses coupled with your personal goals to design the appropriate personal strength training program for you.
Our strength training uses progressively increasing weights, a variety of exercises and types of equipment to target specific muscle groups.
For clients that are athletes, strength training builds in the performance and also decreases the chance of injury. An example, a golfer on the appropriate strength training program has better trunk rotation and therefore can potentially drive the ball farther and more accurately.
Strength training is more than just doing bicep curls. Our strength training program includes a variety of movements that increase core strength, balance and stability. This is important for all our clients from elite athletes to weekend warriors, rehab patients to people managing chronic diseases.
Strength trainging provides significant physical benefits and improvement in overall health and well-being, including increased bone, muscle, tendon and ligament strength and toughness, improved joint function, reduced potential for injury, increased bone density, increased metabolism, increased fitness, improved cardiac function, and improved (“good”) cholesterol.
Diabetics –
Fitness Resources works with Type II diabetic clients by implementing a strength training program in order to increase muscle mass. The more muscle mass (cells) an individual has, the more receptor sites for the transporters (insulin) of glucose. Meaning more receptor sites for glucose or sugar in their bloodstream helps control diabetics type II diabetes. This can be life altering for our clients because now they have an opportunity to live a more normal life without potentially fewer health concerns.
Seniors –
Senior clients benefit from strength training and increased muscle mass in order for them to retain their power, balance and coordination of the body. This too can be life-changing, because there can be less fear of falling and overall improvement of ability to perform daily tasks without losing balance. (senior citizen falls are less often due to age but more often due to loss of the motors (muscles) to take their foot up without stumbling.
