​The S+ Method and Program

Picture
The High Intensity Training Method
The S+ strength training program uses the High Intensity training (HIT) method of progressive resistance exercise to help you make impressive gains in strength, fitness, and health…all with a small investment of your time. 
 
The HIT method was developed in the 1970s, and its principles have been tested and validated by scientific research ever since.
  
Governed by HIT’s five essential principles of load, volume, cadence, duration and frequency, S+ creates a personalized strength training program adapted to your interests and capabilities.

Guided your personal trainer - me, you will gain strength and energy that will support your fitness and health and the ability to do the things that you love to do.

​Do you really need a personal trainer?

Scientific evidence supports the benefits of hiring a qualified personal trainer.
And yet, many people genuinely interested in improving their fitness say no. They may learn the secrets to health and wellbeing, but then decide to go it alone—perhaps part of their New Year’s resolution for better fitness.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who set fitness resolutions abandon them shortly after making them.

It’s not always easy to set the right objectives, commit to the regular—if infrequent—discipline of exercise, push yourself to your personal limits, remain motivated (including tracking your progress), and ensure your own nutritional habits.

This may require some help. And this is where the personal trainer is ready to help you do all these things. 
 

S+ is there for you!
