The HealthStyle Fitness Personal Training Studio is a 'home away from home' private studio that is not your typical crowded gym. The atmosphere here is very different.
Because you are always with your own personal trainer, there is never a 'crowd' watching or people wandering around wasting time. We individually cater to clients who are serious about improving their overall health, reducing weight and stress levels and reaping the benefits of living a healthier lifestyle.
As a result, our environment is motivating and non-intimidating. We work hard to inspire our clients to pursue realistic goals--goals that can fit into each person's schedule and way of life.
Our Company: We can also promise you this... your experience with HealthStyle Fitness will be far different than what you are used to.
Today, there are very few businesses we encounter that seem to know how to treat their customers and clients... and when you do come across a company that does, it's definitely a pleasant surprise, rather than the norm.
We all enjoy when a business or company goes above and beyond to serve us. It gives us a sense that we are appreciated and wanting to not only do business with them again, but also tell everyone about how special they are...
The staff at HealthStyle Fitness strives to give you that same level of service... to help you look and feel great... we hope that you'll be so thrilled that you'll want to tell all your friends and family about your great experience!
A: We work with clients in a private fitness studio through One-on-One Personal Training:
Simply put, personal training is the fastest, most effective and most legitimate weight loss and fitness optimization strategy available. In 3-6 one-hour sessions with a well regarded personal training team, people learn more about proper nutrition and exercise than they could learn reading 10 books or exercising on their own for years.
Step One: We begin with a health and fitness consultation where we thoroughly review your health history, learn about and discuss your needs, establish goals and set timelines, and then conduct a detailed health and fitness analysis (Click Here for Info on the Health & Fitness Analysis). At your first session we’ll also discuss and set up a schedule that fits your needs and desires.
Step Two: After your consultation and analysis, you'll then join Brian in a small group for the 90 Minute Foundational Workshop - "Clearing Up the Myths, Sharing the Realities & Empowering You for Success". After the workshop you'll have a crystal clear understanding of your path to your optimal health, fitness and body - you'll be on your way with a newfound enthusiasm and motivation.
Step Three: You're now ready to start working with your personal trainer to begin moving toward your health, fitness and weight loss goals. We offer a pay as you go plan - or significant savings through the Jump Start or Fitness Make-Over Packages.
The start up process, although thorough & detailed, is quick and easy - We'll get you started as soon as you're ready!
A: Your workout is designed based upon your health history, your goals, any current limitations and your time available for exercise. Our focus is to educate you on all of the essential components of good health: flexibility, stamina, endurance, strength and weight reduction, and of course, take you through well developed training sessions. Clients generally start to feel better, physically and mentally, the first week they begin their training.

You will build some lean, toned muscle as you train, and your body will change positively as a result.
A: Absolutely not!
We are professional trainers who work with clients because it's simply our lifelong passion and labor of love. Many gyms, health clubs, fitness centers and personal trainers entice you into signing up for months or years of membership or personal training, and worse yet, the training isn't personal, it's in a group and not well surpervised.
We are so confident in our approach that we offer pay as you go personal training and you can discontinue at any time. We simply don't feel the need to lock anyone into a long contract or sell huge personal training packages. We do make package options available to offer you a discount on multiple sessions.
