I had my standard; 30 mins cardio and maybe a few machines gym routine down pat and needless to say after years of the same routine, it was getting me nowhere. It took a little nudging and encouragement to give Personal Training a try, cause after all who can afford it and it can be a tad intimidating.
Dennis and the HPI staff took the time in the beginning to give me a complete physical evaluation, to gauge what I could and could not handle and what my workouts should be focused on. Each time I arrived, the training session was completely tailored to my specific needs and accomplishments thus far. By observing other trainers as well, you can tell that a lot of prep time and consideration goes into each client's work out session.
After just a few short weeks, I noticed strength and muscles I never knew existed. As well as a significant increase in my core strength without having to do hundreds of crunches. My trainer snuck in those core exercises and I didnt even notice.
I know PT is seen as being an expensive option when it comes to getting in shape, but the HPI staff is more passionate about creating a healthier you. The first step is the hardest, but you'd be crazy not to check out this amazing facility and the support of their incredible staff.
On a side note, you could not ask for a more welcoming, flexible and entertaining staff. While the gym is a place to ""pump up,"" HPI is also a place to share a laugh, funny story from the weekend or join a friend to sweat it out together. It feels more like a neighborhood and less like the usual corporate gym experience.
Pros: Innovative workouts, not over-crowded, convenient location
Cons: Nada
