Asheville, NC ~ In-Home and Virtual Personal Training ~ Nutrition Coaching ~ Call Today! (828)-318-6344
TRAINING METHOD AND APPROACH:
As your fitness and wellness coach, I will design and coach you through a strength and conditioning program that will support, strengthen, and stabilize your spine and the surrounding body structures. By doing so, you will feel healthier and more equipped to do what you love and feel great doing it.​
​
Our training sessions will be the foundation for cultivating an active lifestyle or enhancing an already existing exercise program, activity or sport. Individually tailored exercises are designed to build or re-build the mobility, flexibility, and strength needed for daily tasks and activities that have been discontinued due to deconditioning, discomfort and pain.
Clients will see success through comfortably accomplishing daily tasks, experiencing less chronic pain, and re-integrating activities, fitness programs, and sports they enjoy.​
Sessions include cardio conditioning, strength training, mobility exercises and stretching. Assisted stretching and yoga poses will further allow relaxation and release of muscle tension. Intensity will vary depending on clients current health and fitness level, goals, and preferences in workout style.
And yes, we will definitely have some fun.​​
FITNESS FOR SENIORS:
Whether you are in the best shape of your life, recovering from a fall, or just want to have more strength and stability for everyday life, this is a great option for those 65+.
​
As we age, our bodies challenge us in new ways. I'm sure you've heard the saying, "If you don't use it, you lose it." While this is true for someone of any age, it is especially true for those later in life. When it comes to the health of our bodies, engaging our muscles, challenging our balance, and bearing weight on our bones are all ways in which we can keep our muscular and skeletal system healthy and happy.
​
During our senior fitness sessions, the focus is targeted very specifically to your personal goals. Wondering if senior fitness is right for you? Here are just a few examples of why you or a loved one might sign up for a Senior Fitness Session with Kathleen:
​
- You would like to be able to stand up out of a chair without relying so much on upper body strength.
- You are finding yourself more unsteady on hikes and are easily losing your balance.
-You are a life long runner and are having a harder time holding on to the muscle needed to sustain long runs.
-You have been advised to do weight-bearing exercises for bone health and have been encouraged to start a strength training program.
NUTRITION COACHING:
Navigating the world of endless food choices, fad-diets, dietary preferences, and the latest social media craze can be truly exhausting. While the wealth of information out there is a great resource, it can be challenging to sort through.
On top of that, you may be an individual that follows a diet avoiding specific food allergens or intolerances like dairy or gluten. You may have personal preferences and beliefs that have led you to a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle. Your doctor may have recommended you reduce sodium intake or seek out omega-rich foods.
While I won't be writing you a specific diet plan or pointing you in a direction of any certain diet, I will work with you to find a way to support your activity needs and get the needed macronutrients to fuel your healthy lifestyle. I believe​ there is no one diet that fits all and that eating healthy can work inside a wide variety of dietary choices and preferences.
​
My role as your nutrition coach will be first and foremost, to offer support and encouragement. Whether you are embarking on a weight loss journey, learning to make healthy food choices for the first time, or want to start counting macronutrients for optimal fitness gains, I will be there every step of the way.
