Sweat Equity Fitness
About
Sweat Equity Fitness was established in March of 2013, as an alternative for personal training clients, who are looking to train at a private health and wellness studio. Our studio is dedicated only to personal training, group training, and boot camps. What separates Sweat Equity Fitness from most other personal trainers, is that all of our trainers have obtained either master's or bachelor's degrees in exercise science related fields such as: kinesiology, exercise physiology, biomechanics, or health and physical education.
At Sweat Equity Fitness we believe in providing each client with a trainer who is not only educated at the highest level, but also has experience working with a variety of different clients. Each trainer will keep you motivated, dedicated, and committed to help you reach your goals.

What is your typical process for working with a new student?
We first have new clients fill out a questionnaire to to get a history of activity and exercise in their life, and also see if they have had previous injuries or surgeries. From there we perform a fitness assessment to get an accurate view point of the clients strengths and weaknesses. After all the data is collected we can then create a customized workout program for the client.

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I recently helped a client lose 120lbs. It took us 18 months, It was a roller coaster process for anyone who has never had a consistent workout program, and a regimented diet. I have to make sure that I create an environment where exercise and choosing healthier food choices becomes habitual.
