What is Personal Training?
Personal Training is an individually tailored exercise program, designed to teach proper ways to perform conditioning exercises, use fitness equipment, address muscle imbalances, create effective exercise adaptations, and regulate physical effort. Working with a Personal Training begins with some assessments and goal setting. Depending on needs, a client may work with a Personal Trainer for a single session on a specific issue or train for a period of time for planned, progressive improvement on your goals. We offer Online (via Zoom) and In-Person Personal Training (Toledo, Ohio area).

Each Personal Training session is, by design, unique! But, we follow the National Academy of Sports Medicine's Optimum Performance Training Model, guiding clients through 3-5 phases (stabilization endurance, strength endurance, muscular development, maximal strength, power) based on their personal goals. Workouts are sometimes repetition and weight focuses, and other times they may be on a circuit or interval style set to work and rest times. But most generally, your 30-minute supervised PT workout will be structured liked this:
-
Short Warm-Up (typically light cardio, stretching)
-
2-3 Rounds of 2-3 Full Body/Core Exercises to focus on activation of muscles, core, and balance (e.g., plank, push ups, ball crunches, woodchoppers, step up to balance, jump squats, multiplanar jumps with stabilization)
-
One Skills Development Exercise to focus on plyometrics and speed, agility, and quickness (e.g. ladder drills, box toe taps).
-
2-3 Rounds of 3-8 Resistance Training Exercises (squats, lunges, rows, RDLs, overhead presses, overhead presses, lateral raises, etc. using barbells, dumbbells, resistance bands, and so on)
-
Short Cool-Down (typically stretching)
-
IMPORTANT: Your first session will be 45-60 minutes long (but you only pay the standard 30-minute rate).
At your first session (both in-person and online), we will start with a review of the health history and other forms you completed online. These are sent to you by email when you book your first session. Your trainer will ask follow-up questions to better understand any physical limitations you may have, your goals and interests, etc. This part will take 15-20 minutes.
This interview will be followed-up with some movement and form assessments to look for muscle imbalances. For example, your trainer may ask you to do a series of squats, walk, and/or balance on one leg. This part may take between 5-10 minutes.
After the trainer has collected this information, you will complete a 30-minute workout designed by your trainer for you. Most likely the workout will include:
-
Short Warm-Up
-
2 Rounds of 3 Lower Body/Full Body Exercises (e.g., Barbell Squats, Lunges, Calf Raises, Resistance Band Monster Walks)
-
2 Round of 3 Upper Body/Full Body Exercises (e.g., Push Ups, Rows, RDLs, Core Work, Step Up to Balance with Overhead Press)
-
Short Cool-Down
At the end of your first session, your trainer will make recommendations for a training program.
-
When you book your first session, you will be asked to complete some forms, including the PARQ+ questionnaire that can provide you and your trainer more information about your current health and physical fitness. The PAR-Q+ is a widely used, evidence based tool developed by The PAR-Q Collaboration. Your trainer will use the information to design your first session, and you and your trainer will talk further about your health and personal goals at this time. Sometimes your trainer may require documentation from or communication with your healthcare provider(s) before moving forward with particular aspects of personal training.
Online
During an online PT session, you meet one one one your trainer over zoom. You will need to be able to use your camera and microphone for the session so your trainer can see your form and provide coaching. Your trainer will also have their camera on to be able to model exercises.
Online trainers obviously cannot provide physical help for lifting, positions, etc. In addition, your trainer will be limited to what they can see or hear over the computer. This puts more "responsibility" onto the client; however, it is a more affordable and accessible option for many people.
In addition to the technology requirements, please be aware that online PT is also limited to the equipment you have access to at your home. You do not need to purchase any additional equipment-- your trainer will adapt the workouts based on what you have at home--but sometimes this does limit exercise options.
In-Person
During an in-person PT session, your trainer will come to your home. We will use equipment you have at home as well as some equipment that your trainer may bring (e.g., resistance bands, weights, etc.).
Your trainer will typically show up 10-15 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to set-up, especially if they are bringing any equipment. Similarly, they will clean-up and leave about 10-15 minutes after your scheduled appointment. Because of this set-up and clean-up, please note the trainer is usually at your house for about an hour.
Please secure any pets in another room during the visit. It is fine to have children around but your trainer will need to stick to their scheduled time.
If you are a new client please book either a New Client In-Person or New Client Online Session. These sessions are the same price as an individual session, but are scheduled for an hour so we have time to get to know you and your goals! When you book this first session, you will also sign the PT Waiver and Consent.
Returning clients can book online sessions and in-person sessions individually, or purchase a package to save some money!
All Personal Training clients--online and in-person--get The Movement App, where they can track exercise and body metrics, select and customize programs, communicate with their coach, and much more.
The fitness industry is very focused on weight, but weight is NOT an indicator of your physical fitness. To move away from a focus on weight, we like to set and celebrate non-weight fitness goals, like:
-
Better Sex
-
Standing Taller
-
Running a 5K
-
Being Able To Get On and Off The Floor Easily
-
Less Pain
-
Feeling Powerful

The Feminist Fitness Club is an online, moderated community where members can interact with The Movement, get access to exclusive fitness education content, and meet other feminists from around the world who are also getting strong!
Thanks for asking! For us “feminist” is short-hand for an ethics and approach to the body. We truly believe that fitness can make nearly all people feel better in their body. Women, LGBTQ+ people, people of color, people with disabilities, poor people, etc. have historically been marginalized in health and fitness (see Justice Roe William’s awesome work on “the fitness industrial complex”). They have been banned from sports, experience discrimination at fitness clubs, are judged against unrealistic and harmful body ideals. And, these are the same communities that are already health-stressed: overworked, working in industries that are hard on the body, with little or no health insurance. So, we focus on access and education. Our approach is explicitly inclusive, gender-affirming, non-judgemental, fat-positive and body-neutral.
