PERSONAL TRAINING

Exercise is Medicine.

You are unique, and your workouts should reflect this.  Your needs, goals, and injuries require the expertise of a seasoned exercise professional.  Perfectionist Health is here to help you establish an individualized set of exercise solutions to help you feel the best you’ve ever felt.

Whether you’re struggling with a chronic injury, difficulty maintaining a healthy weight, cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, or other chronic health condition, a regular exercise program will provide significant benefits to your health.  Maybe even your physician has explained how a specifically-prescribed, strategic exercise program can prevent, manage, or even reverse many chronic health conditions.

 

But where do you start?  Establishing a safe, effective exercise routine isn’t always as simple as it sounds.  Many factors can complicate the process of developing an exercise routine that’s right for you:

  • Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, or other chronic health condition that require a specialized exercise plan and attention
  • Joint replacement
  • Arthritis, chronic injury, or pain in muscles or joints that make exercise difficult
  • Uncertainty about what types of exercise your routine should include (or NOT include) to best help you deal with a chronic injury

Testimonials

"After several failed attempts at losing weight I finally decided to look into a personal trainer. Jessica has been phenomenal. She has focused on areas of my body I didn't even know were weaker than the rest. She checks in and is a wonderful cheerleader. I am beyond happy that I have been able to work with her."

“My husband and I are in our early 70’s and have been working with Jessica for almost 20 years. She has helped us increase our strength level and decrease the aches and pains of aging by working together. Jessica gives us homework which if done faithfully increases the success of the program. I had increasing periods of back muscle spasms which are now almost gone. If I have a bad day the spasm is less frequent and with much less intensity and duration thanks to Jessica.”
