Started a personal trainer program with Joanna Mead over 1 year ago. Plan was to lose weight, tone up and improve body motion. Just wanted to let the Yelp community know that my experience with Joanna has been superb.
First met with her and discussed my goals. She planned a personal program. I see her 2 days a week and she has developed routines that put me through the drills in order to accomplish my goals. She started out slow with me, and then increased just gradually with more weight, more reps or new routines. I am amazed at the change in me, both body and mind, in just the short time I have been with her. My strength has increased significantly, and body control and coordination is way advanced of where it was when I started. Weight is down also.
She is very pleasant, yet stays firm on pushing me which I requested. She is not the social PT that has you do some routine reps then lots of talking. I asked her to push me and she does. We usually complete 3 sets of 3 drills each with 15 reps. Example: Set 1: 15 squats using TRX, planks for 45 sec, step ups with weights each leg 15 times. Repeat 2 more times and end of Set 1. Two more sets and then 2-3 machines at the end all with 15 reps x 3. I feel spent and tired when done, but really proud I could that stuff at my age. She uses all of the equipment, TRX and all the other gym devices to push me to my limits. The one thing you will immediately notice is she is paying attention to you all the hour. Watching and counting reps and guiding you when you are not quite doing the exercise correctly.
She is a graduate of San Jose State with a degree in Kinesiology. Very well qualified and dedicated to helping his clients improve their life and reach their goals.
Her fees are reasonable, and basically worth ever dollar spent. Since I was not able to lose weight and reach goals on my own, I made the decision to make the investment. Best money ever spent. Your body and physical well being need to paramount on your priorities. Joanna can help you attain that image you are looking for. She works with both male and female clients.
My highest recommendation for a personal trainer goes to Joanna Mead. read more
