Fit & Firm W/Joyce
About
I will travel to you if preferred. I provide challenging workouts with or without equipment. I am willing to train you outdoors if preferred. And can train you in a gym setting if preferred.
I really enjoy meeting new people, teaching people about health and fitness, how to do an exercise with proper form, and building their self confidence. This is a passion I have naturally. I explain everything we do so that clients can learn from me, so that they can do it on their own as well. It's important to me that you eventually can put your own workourts together, to make you more independent in pursuing your fitness goals.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I complete an assessment of their knowledge of health, exercise, nutrition and fitness level. I introduce knowledge of the above, and give a sample workout session.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a certified trainer through ExpertRating. I took courses in health, nutrition, and how to put group classes and group training together. I have been teaching group fitness classes for 6 years. I am currently actively training clients in a gym setting and have been training clients for the last 6 years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My lessons are built into my training sessions. I teach about exercise, muscles, form, and how they all relate during training. I assess nutrition and provide feedback about eating . I charge a flat $30 per hour per person. Please note I am providing training on a part time basis. I train clients on the weekends.
How did you get started teaching?
I had gained 30-40 lbs in 2005. In 2006 i revamped my eating habits, started exercising one hour a day 5 days a week, and lost all of the weight in six months. Then changed my exercise program and gained 10 lbs of muscle. I was inspired to teach others how to change their lifestyle and motivate others to get fit and healthy, so I became certified in 2006, and have been doing it ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly, I have worked with women who want to lose weight and tone up. I have also worked with people that are fairly fit, and want to get stronger and fitter.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I have a client that has become so inspired to be fit that she has started entering half marathons. She came in 9th place in her last one. I have another client that wanted me take a video of an exercise I had her do, and when she saw the video she was excited about how muscular her arms are becoming. Proud moment.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Ask questions. See if they are willing to give you a sample of what they do. Meet them in person for a face to face. Go with your gut.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Questions about how the need they have is going to be met. Your needs come first. Questions about if personalities clash what can be done about that. Questions about what does the service offer completely. And how much are you willing to spend.
