Personal Trainers help provide accountability, support,
guidance, instruction, encouragement, motivation, and
serve as role models. However, the most obvious and
common reason to hire a fitness coach is to get RESULTS
and help you reach your goals.
At UVAC, our Personal Trainers focus is to take what you
already know, and help you do it better, safer, and more
efficiently. We teach you how to reach your goals.
At UVAC our NUMBER ONE priority is getting you
results. Our program is based on extensive research, constant
training, and years of experience. We are convinced
it's the best training program in the Upper Valley.
Each session will last until the workout is done. Generally about 60 minutes but may be longer or shorter.
Personal training programs are designed by our trainers for you to reach your own goals. Whether it is weight loss, overall health, athletic performance, or increased quality of life, our trainers will use evidence based practice to help you reach your goals. The bottom line is that our trainers will help you become more efficient, more motivated, and will produce the results that you want.
Strength and Conditioning Specialist John Grainger can help you reach your athletic potential through the same techniques that helped the Utah Utes athletic teams have a successful 2009 campaign. His sport specific exercises and personal training plans will make you bigger, stronger, and faster. He uses a mixture of strength development and explosive movements to create the ultimate athlete. Sports training is no longer for football players only--every sport at the collegiate and professional level utilizes a strength and conditioning program to increase athletic performance.
