Personal training sessions range from $50-80 per session depending on package size, with significant savings available through multi-session packages. Nutritional counseling is available separately or as part of comprehensive packages that combine training and nutrition services. We offer flexible payment options including monthly payment plans to make our services more accessible.

First-Time Patient Tips

Success with our program requires commitment to attending scheduled training sessions and following the nutritional guidelines we provide. We recommend consistency in both exercise and eating habits to see optimal results. Most clients begin noticing improvements in energy and strength within 2-3 weeks, with visible weight loss and body changes typically appearing by 4-6 weeks. It's important to focus on how you feel and your overall health improvements, not just the number on the scale. Communication with your trainer and nutritionist about challenges, preferences, and concerns is crucial for program adjustments and continued success. Patience with the process and trust in our guidance will help you achieve sustainable, long-term results.
