Introducing Shenette Jones, Personal Trainer

Sometimes exercise can often be rather intimidating. There’s always a new energetic infomercial spotlighting “NORMAL” people like you and me who’ve had amazing results from the new and improved machine. There’s always the latest cardio DVD designed to rapidly meet your specific goals right in the comfort of your very own home. We can’t even drive down the roads without the vivid “NEW GYM” signs distracting us from the side. But what to choose…where to go…who to call?? Decisions, Decisions, Decisions! Most of us take the plunge. We toss our workout videos and we head to that local gym that we’ve driven by countless times. After an exhilarating tour with a perky fitness salesman, we find ourselves signing away!

Unfortunately, joining won’t be enough. The great intimidation kicks in when we realize that we’re truly only comfortable with a treadmill. We branch off to try new machines, only to often feel awkward. Our intimidation grows as we watch the super professional gym guru strut around proudly with a confidence that screams, “I’ve been at this for years...why don’t you let a pro show you how it’s done?” Statistics prove that after 6months of joining a gym, most people are often discouraged and regretfully slipping back into their old habits. JUST NOT GOING!

This is something that we are determined to help you avoid here at The Center for Medical Weight Loss. My name is Shenette Jones and I’m excited to be the new personal fitness trainer for your program. In my time as a Personal training manager to several gyms in the triangle, I discovered that most of us want the same the thing out of our exercise regimens. We want to gain muscle, lose fat, boost our endurance, increase our flexibility, and of course look and feel better.

However, I like to tell my clients that I have one goal for them. My goal is to teach you what I know about fitness. Today’s fitness marketing plan seems to be hyped around the mysteries of fitness training. As longs as the professionals know more than the people, they’ll always have a captive audience! Well friends, I believe different. I want to unleash everything I understand and know about strengthening your body so that on those days when you can’t make the gym, or you’re traveling on business, or you’re snowed in…you still have the knowledge you need to stay on track. I’m here to motivate you, empower you, and inform you. It’s up to you to take the fitness goals by the reigns and GO FOR IT!

From my heart to yours…You can do this! No one is expecting you to fold into uncomfortable pretzel positions. No one is expecting you to be the fastest or the strongest! Your great health is what we’re chasing after. Once you step behind the door into a private setting, (no bystanders or spectators) you and I have the opportunity to focus in on all the things you’ve always wanted to ask about, all the discomforts and injuries you might need special attention for, and all the myths about fitness that we need to erase.

I’ve seen it time and time again. You don’t have to stop at eating great. You can learn how to use weights, you can learn how to use that big fun stability ball and you can learn how to use bands. The treadmill won’t be a mundane machine any longer because you’ll know how to get rid of the pre programs and create your own! Everything from abdominal exercises to lunges and more…lies within our walls. Together we can meet goals! Together we can strengthen your muscles and keep joint injuries at bay. Together we can make it happen, and it won’t ever be intimidating again! Cheers to a new stronger you!
