The fact is that there is no set standard in the fitness industry for someone to become or call themselves a personal trainer. Finding someone with a well-known personal training certification is a good start. At the Village we have a much higher standard. We require that all our personal trainers have at least a bachelor’s degree in an Exercise Science related subject and hold one of a handful of nationally recognized personal trainer certifications. In addition to finding a highly educated personal trainer, look for a personal trainer with extensive experience (2-3 years or more), and ask for referrals from trusted friends.
One last thing to consider is to find a personal trainer that has a personality and approach that matches up with who you are as a person. Personal trainers can fall into three broad categories: drill Sargent, cheerleader, or educator. Even if the best trainer at your club is a drill Sargent, that trainer might not be the best fit for you if you find the drill Sargent approach to be intimidating or annoying. A better fit for you might be the cheerleader that motivates you or the educator that makes sure that you’re learning how do everything just the right way.
Depending on your health and fitness goals, you’ll need to commit to a minimum of 3 days of exercise each week to see results. Our trainers can help you put together a workout plan that fits your schedule.
The American College of Sports Medicine recommends that healthy adults all need to be performing a minimum of 150 minutes of moderate intensity cardio, 75 minutes of vigorous intensity, or a combination of moderate and vigorous intensity exercise per week. Resistance training and flexibility training should be performed at least twice per week.
Ideally, you should have some form of fuel in your system before you work out. Eating an easily digested carbohydrate an hour or so before you exercise ensures that you’ll have enough energy to get through your workout.
If, however, you exercise first thing in the morning, eating before your workout may not be an option. Many people find that they can tolerate cardio on an empty stomach but need fuel to get through a strength training session. Experiment with the types of food and the timing of your pre-workout meal to discover what works best for you.
Eating after a workout is important. You need to replenish your glycogen stores and ‘feed’ the muscles that you’ve just trained. Sports nutritionists suggest that you eat a small snack consisting of protein and easily digested carbohydrates within about an hour of training and then your next meal an hour or two later.
While cardiovascular training is great for building strong hearts and lungs, it doesn’t provide the stimulus your body needs to build bigger, stronger muscles and bones. Why? We adapt quickly to the loads (resistance) that we put on our bodies. By doing just cardio you can miss out on all the benefits that resistance training provides.
The Benefits of Resistance Training include the following:
The ideal frequency of personal training sessions varies from person to person. Are you just getting started with exercise and healthy eating? Do you need regular motivation and support to get to the gym? Do you have an injury that you’re working through? These variables and others will influence the ideal frequency that you should see your trainer. Most people will need to see a trainer once or twice each week and it is common for clients to meet with their trainer 3+ times each week. Clients that eventually demonstrate the ability to get to the gym consistently on their own can often begin to reduce the frequency that they see their trainer.
You can expect to feel the results of your training sooner than you will see them. People who start a new exercise program and are consistent in getting their workouts done typically report improvements in sleep, mood and energy levels within two to three weeks. Changes in body composition often take longer to notice; the more consistent you are with your workouts and the closer you stick to your nutrition plan, the sooner the results will become noticeable (to you and to others too!).
Try focusing on non-scale victories like how many more pushups you can now perform and how your favorite jeans fit.
You’d think that as you become stronger and better at performing the new exercises that you are learning that your workouts would start to feel easier. A qualified personal trainer knows how to progress your training plan to keep your body guessing and moving forward at a reasonable pace. When your personal trainer progresses your program correctly, the intensity of your workouts will increase to match your fitness improvements, making each workout feel just as challenging as the one before.
There is some evidence suggesting that if you’re doing both in a single session, performing weights before cardio can lead to increased fat loss. However, for most people the results will be the same regardless of which they do first. If you have a strong preference for one over the other (perhaps you find weights too taxing after cardio or find that getting on a cardio machine is too boring after you’ve done your strength workout), go with it. Whatever it takes to get your workout done. Fitness goals can also be the deciding factor here. If getting in the optimal strength workout is your goal, that should be first. Using cardio to flush out your muscles as more of a recovery tool works well in this scenario. If cardiorespiratory conditioning is more important in your fitness goals than building muscle or strength that that is a great place to start.
Yes, we can match you with multiple trainers. They will work together to create a plan for you that will help you reach your fitness goals
Yes, but try and give the muscle groups trained 24-48 hours of recovery. So, try not to do full body every day. You can do a push/ pull split, upper/lower split, or legs/arms/chest &back split.
Here are a few ways to get cardio benefits but don’t spend 60 min on an elliptical
-You can incorporate exercises in your strength program that will get your heart rate up. A few examples are Jump rope, power pushups, Squat jumps, Ice Skaters, Frog Plank hops.
-Do endurance days in the weight room. Instead of 8-12 reps, do 20-25 reps at a lighter weight.
-Instead of doing 30 min on one machine, pick 2-3 machines and do 10-15 min one each. That way you are also working different muscles groups.
-If you like group classes, try one of our Trampoline cardio bounce classes or Dance Fusion (zumba) classes

Every face is different. A consult with us will allow us to accurately quote how many units you will need to achieve your desired result. There is no pressure to purchase anything at time of consultation. Remember, it is the standard of care and typical for us to inject on the average 20-30 units in the nasal brow area, 20-30 units in the crows feet area and 12-30 units in the forehead. It depends on your anatomy! Men and athletes often require more units. The more you get, the better the patient satisfaction. We are extremely experienced and know where the placement and how many units are typically needed to achieve your goal.
Every face is different. A consult with us will allow us to accurately determine how many syringes you will need to achieve your desired result. There is no pressure to purchase anything at time of consultation. Remember, it is the standard of care and typical for us to inject on the average 2-3 syringes at each appointment. It depends on your anatomy! Thin and people with loss of volume or sun damaged skin as well as Runner’s often require more syringes. We are extremely experienced and know where the placement and how many units you need to achieve your goal.
Of course, more than likely you could bruise! It is utterly impossible to promise someone they may not bruise. You can help your chances by avoiding Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Fish Oil, and red wine for one week prior. Some people start taking Arnica a few days prior and that seems to help diminish bruising.
Most clients go directly back to their day-to-day activities following a treatment. We only advise that you refrain from any excessive physical activity after your treatment and that you do not apply make-up over the injection points for 12 hours.
We request that all clients wait 10 days after their Botox/Dysport treatment to come in for a follow up and if you require more units, you will pay the going per unit price. For filler, since it works so well with immediate results certainly it is normal to want additional syringes and one will need to pay for additional syringes.
If you require more units at any time, we will assess you and determine an appropriate amount to inject. You will pay the going per unit price for more units and additional fillers. Typically, people return every three months for Botox/Dysport and filler can be at any time. Some fillers such as Voluma can last up to two years, and you can discuss this filler further when you come in for your appointment time.
