Frequently Asked Questions

You can definitely make progress on your own, but working with a personal trainer can help you get results much faster—sometimes three to five times faster than going solo. I’ll help you avoid common mistakes, keep you motivated, and make sure your workouts are actually moving you toward your goals. Plus, I’ll design a plan that fits your lifestyle and keeps things interesting, so you’re less likely to get bored or give up. Having someone in your corner to hold you accountable can make a huge difference in how quickly you see results.

Most of my sessions are held at a local gym here in Austin. If you don’t already have a gym membership, I can give you some guidance on the best options. I also run group workouts at the park, which is a great way to mix things up and enjoy some fresh air. You don’t need to worry about having your own equipment—I’ll make sure you have everything you need for a great workout.

I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. This means you’ll need to let me know at least 24 hours in advance if you need to cancel or reschedule a session. This helps me manage my schedule and offer your spot to someone else if you can’t make it. Life happens, so just keep me in the loop!

I recommend working out at least four times per week to really see significant fat loss. Consistency is key, and spreading your workouts throughout the week helps your body burn more calories and build healthy habits. I’ll help you create a schedule that fits your life and keeps you on track.

The best exercises for burning body fat are compound movements—these are exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once, like squats, deadlifts, lunges, and push-ups. I also include resistance training in your program, since building muscle helps your body burn more calories even at rest. We’ll mix in some cardio too, but resistance training is a game-changer for fat loss.

This is a really common question! While we can target the muscles in those areas to make them stronger and tighter, your body will lose fat all over, not just in one spot. That means as you lose fat, you’ll see changes everywhere including your stomach and thighs. I’ll help you focus on exercises that tighten those muscles while working on overall fat loss.

Will strength training make me look bulky? I just want to lose fat and tone up.No need to worry strength training will not make you look bulky, especially with the way I design your workouts. My programs are built to help you lose fat and get toned, not to add unwanted size. Most people find they look leaner and more defined as they build muscle and lose fat. It’s all about getting that fit, athletic look!

I’ll give you some “homework” to do on your own usually two extra days of workouts during the week when we’re not training together. These could be simple routines you can do at home or at the gym, and I’ll make sure they fit your goals and schedule. This way, you’ll keep making progress even when we’re not meeting in person.
