Fire your trainer now!

Have you had an assessment?  If not then fire your trainer.  The only way to track progress and design a good program is to have a comprehensive assessment.  That is why all of our personal training clients receive a comprehensive assessment when they start.

A comprehensive assessment tells us what you need to work on, where your weaknesses and strengths are, what your body fat percentage is and gives us a guide for your entire program.  Our assessment for training clients isn't just the "box gym" standard of holding onto a bioelectrical impedance body fat reader and signing a waiver.  The reader that you hold onto takes zero skill and is up to 12% off of your actual body fat.

A true comprehensive assessment that will yield great results must include a functional movement screen, tests of flexibility and mobility, strength tests, conditioning test, and movement pattern analysis.  These tests require a lot of knowledge and skill to understand.  That is why most trainers don't do it, because they don't take the time to learn to do the assessments and therefore the don't know how.

The other reason that most trainers don't do an assessment is that their programs don't yield any results.  If they do a test/retest then their clients will know that their program isn't yielding any results.  We know what we do gets results and we prove it with our assessments.  Does your trainer?

Our motto is "Sweat Hard, See Results", our training makes you sweat and our assessment proves your results.  If you are tired of not seeing results or worse yet, having a trainer who doesn't even know how to track your results, then fire your trainer and come to the experts at The Spot Athletics.
