What you get
What One-on-One Training With Me Includes
If you make small changes every day, it will result in a huge transformation over time.
A workout built for you
A different session each time, designed around what you can do that day. Want arms, legs or abs? Tell me before you come in.
Every rep watched
I walk you through the technique as we go, and fix it mid-set rather than next week.
Trained around your history
A knee, a back, a body six weeks after a baby. None of that rules you out; exercises get adjusted until one works for you.
Nutrition running through it
Meal plans and accountability, woven through the training rather than bolted on.

Questions
Questions About One-on-One Personal Training
What people ask before they book a private session.
What Is One-on-One Personal Training?
Private sessions with one trainer: you and me, for 30 or 60 minutes. Every workout is built for you on the day, and I coach every rep of it.
How Much Does One-on-One Personal Training Cost?
$60 for 30 minutes or $120 for the full hour, and that is the rate whether you buy one session or a package. The first session is free, and nothing is signed on the day.
Personal training packages and pricesIs Private Training Better Than Group Training?
It depends what you want from it. A group gives you company and structure. Private gives you all of my attention, on your schedule. You can also mix the two.
How small-group training worksWho Will I Be Training With?
Me, Craig Chapin. NASM certified since 2004, with 20+ years of private clients. The free session and the hundredth are the same hour with the same trainer.
About CraigWhere Do You Train?

Get directionsDo I Need to Be in Shape Before Starting?
No. That is what the first session is for. The workout is geared to what you can do today, not to what you think you should be able to do. Plenty of people here are not starting from zero. They are starting again, and the evaluation on day one is a baseline to measure the next few months against. Not one part of it is a test you can fail.
Which one of these sounds like you?
