Real Life Fitness offers several types of
fitness training. You can come to our exclusive
Personal Training Studio at 133 Argall Way
in Nevada City for one-on-one training, semi-private
“partner” training or join a GravityGroup™
or GravityPilates™ small group session. Prefer
to workout at home? One of our highly trained
staff members can bring the equipment to your
home or office and work with you there. No
matter which training format you choose, you
can be certain to get the undivided attention
you deserve along with the accountability
you need to achieve your fitness goals!
We begin with an initial
assessment (this appointment takes place
at our studio location) where you and Scott
will create a custom training schedule for
you designed to achieve your fitness goals.
You will also be assigned two trainers at
this appointment. This facilitates an uninterrupted
training schedule for you as well as a backup
for the trainers in case of vacation, illness
or family emergency. In order to be effective,
it is recommended that you train a minimum
of two times per week with Scott and
at least once a week on your own with our
direction.
Training at Nevada County's exclusive
Personal Training Studio:
Meet your Real Life Fitness trainer at our studio for your fitness training. Conveniently located right off the freeway in Nevada City, our private training studio features a unique variety of cardio equipment as well as stability and medicine balls, exercise tubing, the BOSU, Power Blocks, the Functional Trainer, GTS Total Gym (Gravity Training System), The PowerPlate, (Vibrational Training) and the Bowflex. With one-on-one training in the studio you will choose between full sessions (approximately 55 minutes) or half sessions ( approximately 25 minutes) with or without use of the Power Plate. (Power Plate sessions are slightly shorter, because of the increased efficiency of the workout!) Arrive 10 to 20 minutes early for your appointment to warm up on our cardio equipment, then spend your workout time exclusively with Scott, working to achieve your personal goals. If you are looking for a clean, quiet, private environment in which to exercise with the guidance of a certified fitness professional, studio training may be the perfect fit!
Personal fitness training in the comfort
of your home or office:
Let one of our trainers bring all of the equipment
you will need to get a great workout (excluding
cardio). To keep your workout routine fun,
effective and interesting, we use a variety
of non-traditional fitness equipment as well
as the traditional. Stability and medicine
balls, the BOSU, exercise tubing and Power
Blocks, just to name a few. One-on-one home
sessions are approximately 55 minutes in length
while semi-private home sessions range from
55 to 70 minutes. If you want total privacy
and the ultimate in convenience, this may
be the best choice for you.
Initial
Assessment
We
require all new personal training clients
to go through our initial assessment prior
to training. The fee for this includes periodic
reassessment (approx. every 3 months) at no
charge. During this visit, Scott will review
your health history, help you establish realistic
goals, discuss your dietary habits and then
perform the following 'measurements' to help
establish a benchmark:
Body
Weight
Lung
Capacity
Symmetrigraf
Posture Screening
Exercise
Heart Rate Calculations
Body
Composition (optional)
Blood
Pressure
Girth
Measurements
Sub-Maximal
Cardio Vascular Screening
The results of this initial assessment will
assist your trainers in prescribing an exercise
program that will help you achieve yours
goals and information that will assist in
measuring your progress.
VO2
Test
This
test is designed to establish your anaerobic
threshold (the point at which your body begins
to burn oxygen inefficiently) while running
(or walking) on a treadmill. The results enable
us to give you specific guidance in regards
to your upcoming training sessions as well
as providing a baseline with which to measure
against as you progress…helping you
achieve maximum results in minimum time! With
each test, we will include a four (4) week
plan of custom cardio workouts for you to
follow…with or without our assistance.
COME PREPARED! Please be well rested, fueled
and hydrated. You will need running shoes
and clothes, a water bottle and a heart
rate monitor (if you do not own a heart
rate monitor, we do have them for sale at
the studio). Allow one hour for the test
and to review the results.
IMETT
Subscription Service
After
you have completed your VO2 test, you may
want to continue using our custom tailored
workouts. Subscriptions are sold in four (4)
week packages of “prescribed”
cardio workouts for you to follow. Each package
includes one cardio conditioning session with
one of our personal trainers.
Cardio
Conditioning
Many
of our clients have goals that include improved
cardio vascular fitness, reduced blood pressure
and weight loss. Cardio conditioning is designed
with these clients in mind. This can be done
inside or outside – as long as you have
your heart rate monitor on and have completed
a VO2 test. Let one of our trainers help you
learn how to work in the appropriate heart
rate zone to achieve your goals! Cardio conditioning
is available in half (up to 30 minutes) and
full (31 – 55 minutes) sessions.

Power
Plate has caused a revolution in the
fitness, health and wellness, beauty
and anti-aging industries. The secret?
Anyone can achieve great success in
a very short period of time. With
the push of a button, Power Plate
produces a vibration through which
energy is transferred to the body.
This mechanical stimulus produces
a stretch reflex which, depending
on the frequency, results in rapid
and intense muscle contractions 30-50
times per second.
The Power Plate has already made a
substantial impact in the world of
sports medicine and strength and conditioning
and is gaining attention among mainstream
health and fitness professionals and
alternative health centers across
the country.
However,
Power Plate is not merely a training method
for elite athletes, but also for individuals
young and old, regardless of their physical
and neurological condition, who want to live
longer healthier lives. Vibration training
on the Power Plate offers a host of benefits
such as considerably improving muscle strength,
flexibility, range of motion, bone density
and stimulating blood circulation. Additionally,
studies have proven Power Plate's ability
to reduce muscle pain and soreness, and expedite
the recovery of damaged muscles and tendons.

applications, including Medical/Rehabilitation,

Post-Rehab

wonder what comes next?
Or you may have a medical condition where exercise
can assist in your treatment, but aren't sure
what's safe or how to get started.
We have the training and proper exercise
protocol on hand to review with your doctor,
chiropractor or physical therapist. If
you have been injured on the job, we also can

Semi-private
Training

you have a friend or spouse that is as committed
as you are? Try partner training! Semiprivate training occurs when 2 people
choose to work out together. The benefits are
that compliance increases when you are held
accountable to a workout partner and the session
price decreases per person when shared with
a friend or spouse!
This is also a fun, economical way to try out
personal training.
