Why Hire A Trainer?


If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right!

Statistics support the Old African proverb, “Cross the river in a crowd, and the crocodile won’t eat you.” The guidance of a fitness/wellness expert is a smart way to strengthen your resolve to stay the course even on those days when you’d prefer to skip your routine. Why go it alone?

There are many reasons to hire a fitness/wellness trainer. At GTHP we are dedicated to delivering expert training designed specifically to assist you in achieving your goals safely. When it comes to fitness and wellness, “one size” does not fit all.

Advantages to working with Melanie as your professional and experienced trainer:
• She is a fully trained professional in her field.
• She brings her years of experience and her expertise to each client; to
   each program design; to each session.
• She loves her work. She loves her clients.
• The joy and confidence she brings to the training experience is
   contagious.
• She will give you what you need.
• She “knows her stuff” from the inside out!

What she’ll do for you
• Design a program to meet your needs.
• Monitor your routines and adjust them according to your progress.
• Ensure that you use proper execution and form in each session.

One client laughs when she says: “Time flies while you’re having food!” but her point is that the years passed quickly while she admittedly ate unhealthy sweets and carbs, and put on the weight she came to GTHP wanting to lose.

Melanie supports proper nutrition:
• Designs individual nutritional plans.
• Teaches you how to navigate the grocery store with wellness in mind.
• Helps you understand how to enjoy meals away from home while
   maintaining your healthy lifestyle goals.

Help in building your support community
Sometimes the challenges of attaining fitness/wellness goals can seem overwhelming. Some clients worry that they will have to abandon their current friends and social activities in order to stave off temptations and stick with their food and fitness regimens. At GTHP we show clients how to build a support community that includes friends and family as well as support professionals. The trainer and client work together to establish this support system right from the very beginning.
