About
My "Success Story" clients have appeared in television commercials on the Oxygen Network, Bravo, and Lifetime.
I first became certified as a trainer in 2007 and I primarily work as a contractor in private training gyms as well as in-home. I am also a certified nutrition specialist. In addition, I’ve done online training for celebrity trainer Jackie Warner/FitOrbit.

My forte is motivating clients to adapt to a fitness lifestyle, which includes effective nutrition. I believe in using periodization, taking my clients through varied exercise cycles so that they remain injury-free.
I love to motivate! I bring a positive outlook and produce positive outcomes. It makes my heart sing to see the look on my clients' faces who have seen results due to their diligence. Testimonials and clients in training can be viewed at www.terriwest.com

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Following a thorough fitness assessement and intake, my process for working with a clients is gradual and progressive. They are first introduced to balance and flexibility and progress toward aerobic, endurance and/or strength training. Injuries and any other physical challenges are taken into consideration, with a program that is built around those issues.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been certified in Fitness Training and Nutrition through International Sports Science Association since 2007. I also have several published health & wellness articles and, due to the results I've produced and the commitment I have, my work and clients have been featured in fitness commercials that have aired on Bravo, Lifetime, and the Oxygen Network.

Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My standard pricing system is $125 per 50 minutes of training. The cost for nutrition plans is $500.
How did you get started teaching?
As a child up to my college years, I was always overweight. I was brutally teased by other kids and eventually lacked self esteem. Not only that, but my knees suffered due to the weight put upon them. The pressure on my knees - which prevented me from playing my favorite sport (tennis) - was enough for me to begin to make positive changes in my life. Because I was overweight, it gives me the compassion to help others who might be in the same position.
What types of students have you worked with?
I've worked with women and men from ages 30 to 72. Special populations include back/disc issues, meniscus tears, shoulder injuries, diabetes. Because I was a competitive bodybuilder, I have produced phenomenal results for males who are looking to add mass and shed fat. Typically, my clients work in the film, legal, and corporate executive-level industries.
