We recommend that anyone considering a fitness program start with a two-part fitness evaluation. The first part – a Fitness Assessment – is a series of sub-maximal, age-appropriate fitness tests that evaluate your current fitness status in terms of muscular strength, cardiorespiratory endurance and flexibility.

We then design an aerobic and resistance training program – an Exercise Prescription – that matches your fitness level with the right set of exercises and the right level of difficulty. We also tailor the prescription to the workout location of your choice – your home, a commercial gym, or the fitness facility in our own office. The goal is to initiate you into a fitness program that is safe, challenging, and always enjoyable.

For those looking to make consistent progress in their fitness, one-on-one personal training offers a supervised format for increasing volume, intensity, and resistance; while also adjusting focus with new exercises and techniques. We have 3-month and 6-month programs that meet once, twice or three times per week. Sessions are one-hour long and include a warm-up, resistance training, and stretching/cool down.

Small Group training sessions offer an affordable, yet still highly effective, alternative to one-on-one training. These hour-long classes consist of no more than five participants who perform the same sets of circuit-based exercises. Each class member, however, does the exercises at her own speed, intensity, and resistance level. This allows for individual progress in a supportive group setting. Classes can be taken two or three times per week and are offered Monday through Friday.

All of our Center for Active Lifestyle Medicine programs – weight loss, PCOS, detoxification, and anti-aging – incorporate fitness training, and all sessions are run by our ACSM-certified Personal Trainer, Bob Tygenhof. If you are interested in adding a fitness component to your healthy lifestyle or participating in one of our Active Lifestyle Medicine Programs, call our office and schedule a FREE Fitness Consultation with Bob.
