Insurance & Pricing

Personal training and nutrition services are typically not covered by insurance, though some HSA and FSA accounts can be used for these services with proper documentation. Sue offers flexible payment options including package deals that provide better value for committed clients.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first session, think about your specific goals, timeline, and any physical limitations or concerns you have. Consider your schedule and be realistic about how often you can commit to training sessions. Sue recommends tracking your current eating patterns for a few days before your consultation to help her understand your starting point.

During your program, consistency is key to success. Even if you miss a planned workout, staying active and following your nutrition guidelines will keep you moving toward your goals. Don't be afraid to communicate with Sue about challenges you're facing - she's there to help you problem-solve obstacles, not judge your struggles. Remember that sustainable weight loss takes time, and small consistent actions lead to significant long-term results.
