15 Questions and Answers About SeniorFit
212-677-6131
What can I expect from SeniorFit Personal
Training?
Senior fitness training improves your
balance, and your ability to walk without falling. You can expect to
feel stronger. Your daily activities become easier. Stetching helps
you reach up into closets, and perform recreational activities with more
ease.
If you're a golfer, or tennis layer, you'll notice the difference in
your game.
On long car trips you'll have more energy, and driving won't tire you
out.
Where will the personal training take
place?
All training sessions take place either in
your home, office, the fitness center in your condo, or outdoors.
If I train at home, do I
need alot of space?
Personal training doesn't take up alot of
space. Depending on what exercises you can do, you will either stand,
sit in a chair, or use the floor for your exercise routine.
Some of our clients
do a combination of all three. You can have a very effect senior
fitness routine without leaving your home.
Is it possible to have a
good exercise routine, if I can't get up and down on the floor?
You can have a very effective, and
comprehensive senior exercise routine even if you can't get up and down
from the floor. Your entire routine can be done while standing, or
sitting in a chair.
Do I need to purchase
equipment for personal training?
If you have a fitness center in your
building, you won't have to purchase equipment. If you take your
training in your home, you may need to purchase some equipment.
The amount of equipment you'll need depends on your abilities, needs,
interests, and finances. The price of your personal training session
includes professional balance, and agility equipment.
You can discuss equipment needs more thoroughly during your
consultation.
How many total personal training
sessions will I need?
The number of total personal training
sessions you need, depends on several factors: what you want to
achieve, how much money you have to invest, and how motivated you are to
remain healthy and independent.
If you've been sedentary for many years, it will take longer to achieve
your health and fitness goals. While you can expect to see changes in
strength in 2 to 3 months, realistically, it is not an overnight
process. You'll need to be patient.
Discuss your goals during your free consultation, to determine
whether you want to commit to a long or short-term training program.
How many weekly personal
training sessions do I need?
To make progress, you will need
to train at least
twice per week. A third session will accelerate your progress.
For those who cannot afford two or
three SeniorFit sessions per week, you need practice what you learned
during your personal training session on your own.
The one-hour free consultation is a good opportunity to discuss your
exercise plans, and finances.
How much will it cost?
All new clients are eligible for the
Introductory Rate within a 30 day period. After that, the regular rate applies. Prices may fluctuate. Call 212-677-6131 for recent prices. Click here for more information.
Can I take personal training with my spouse, a family member, or friend?
If you sign up for Buddy Workouts, you can train with
another person.
Certain individuals feel more motivated when training with a partner. The fee for Buddy Workouts
is less than a private session.
Do I have to buy a package requiring a long-term financial committment?
There are no packages to buy. Payment is made by check
at the time of your training session, or by credit card through Pay Pal.
What happens if I have to cancel my session?
If you have to cancel your session, please give as much
notice as possible. When you cancel at the last minute, we lose that
session. When you give more notice, we have the opportunity to
temporarily schedule someone else in your place.
Can I invite family members, or friends to my personal training session?
Having visitors during your personal training session is
not productive. If you would like to train with another person,
consider signing up for Buddy Workouts.
My husband and I would like
to sign-up for Buddy Workouts.
What happens when he's out-of-town?
You can take your training session without your husband
at the regular rate.
What type of clothing
should I wear?
Wear loose fitting, comfortable clothing. Sweat pants
should not reach below the ankle.
Sturdy athletic shoes should be worn for personal training.
If I arrive late for my session, can I get extra time?
If you have a one-hour appointment at 8:00 A.M., and you
arrive 10 minutes late, your session will end at 9:00 A.M.
Be sure to schedule your appointment at a convenient
time. Frequent lateness interferes with achieving your goals.
How do I sign-up?
Discuss your exercise plans with your primary
physician, and get clearance from him/her. Your doctor will advise you
of any restrictions, or recommendations to your fitness program.
Once your doctor gives you the go-ahead, schedule your free one-hour
in-home consultation. Fill out a short application, and you're ready to
get started.
Are short-term appointments available?
Yes. Call 212-677-6131 to discuss your needs, your budget, and goals.
