Personal training consists of one on one coaching from a experienced and certified personal fitness trainer. The trainer teaches you, motivates you, corrects form and encourages you to work hard consistently while following a detailed fitness and nutrition plan that has been developed for you based on your lifestyle and goals. Personal training is the most effective method of achieving your health, fitness, and/or weight loss goals.
Everything depends on how badly you want to achieve your goals and how hard you are willing to work! True fitness is about the hours of the day and week that you are not with one of our personal trainers. Our programs will allow you to get the most that your body is capable of. Some other important factors are age, gender, attitude, what you learn from me, and how much you apply these lessons to your lifestyle after you leave our hands.On average, most clients lose approximately 1 to 2 pound of body fat per week and often will lose 5-15 pounds in a 10 -12 week period. Results will vary.
This depends upon your goals, how quickly you want to achieve them, your schedule, time available to exercise and your budget. When considering the cost, be sure to remember that this is your health and there is nothing on Earth that is more important. Without your health, you have nothing. On average, most clients show the best progress when they meet with a personal trainer 2-3 times per week. If sessions are less than that, many people will slack off and won't get nearly as much out of it.
The more frequently you meet with your trainer the faster you'll see results. There are several reasons for this. With the consistency, accountability, motivation, and guidance that we offer, you will work much harder than you would on your own.
No! Nearly all of my in-home clients have little or no equipment and get amazing results. I have all the equipment needed for each workout. No more crowded gyms, no more waiting for machines, now the gym comes to you. All you need is to work the muscles and you can do that with body weight, calisthenics, exercise bands, free weights, manual resistance, and an exercise Physio ball. Of course, having some machines are beneficial if your budget allows for it.

Certified Personal Trainer
It's a great investment in your health and well-being! Ask any fitness expert and the answer is always the same. The best way to get started on an exercise program is to use a personal trainer.
Personal trainers work intensively with individual clients to develop training programs best suited to help them achieve better health and well being - then supervises every workout to assure maximum effectiveness and efficiency. Workouts are fun and safe, leaving you feeling exhilarated, not exhausted.
Your First In-Home Session Is Always Free!
The basic idea is for us to get to know each other, and for you, as a prospective client, to get a feel for what it would be like to work with us. We'll ask you a bunch of questions about your health and fitness background, discuss your fitness objectives, and then lay out an overall program to get you where you want to go.
At this point, it is up to us to use everything we have learned about you to lay out a balanced, healthy exercise program and if you wish, make some recommendations on your diet. Most programs will include elements of cardio, strength and flexibility work. Everything we've learned about you will be grist for the mill.
We will probably expect you to do part of the recommended program on your own, and other parts with us. Usually that means doing your cardio work on your own and strength and flexibility work with us. We will establish your cardio program and monitor your performance, but we will generally not stand there and watch you walk on a treadmill, for example.
If you choose to work with me, we can start talking about scheduling future appointments. If not, you can just take our recommendations and train on your own. In either case, you've received a full hour of one-on-one attention from a highly qualified fitness professional. Give me a call, and we can set up a convenient time for one of our trainer to come to your home.

After finding Dan’s H.I.T. Fitness website via a Google search for personal trainers, I’ve been training with him for about 9 months now. When I initially contacted Dan about training, I didn’t necessarily know what to expect, but now looking back, it was one of the best decisions I ever made. My initial goals were to lose weight, and to learn ways to make my workouts more efficient and effective. Dan has helped me achieve those goals and so much more. I have increased my overall level of fitness while becoming stronger, leaner, healthier and much happier with myself. On top of all that, Dan’s training even helped me to complete a triathlon! Dan’s workouts are always different, challenging and fun, which makes me look forward to every training session with him. I would highly recommend Dan as a trainer for anyone who wants to lose weight, improve their overall health/fitness, or just to get new ideas for more challenging and effective workouts. Training with Dan is an investment in your health and fitness that you won’t regret!

I could not be more pleased with how I feel and the changes in my body since I have started working out with Dan. My agility has improved tremendously and getting in and out of chairs is no longer a chore. Every day I am walking further and I have much less pain in my legs and my back.
I actually look forward to my workouts and seeing Dan is always a pleasure. Thank you Dan for my new healthy lifestyle.
I feel so much better about myself these days and I give Dan all the credit. His workouts are varied, interesting and tailored to my strengths, my weaknesses and my needs. My bad knee has been strengthened with much gentlenesyet much progress is being made.

I am a client of personal trainer, Dan Bowen. I am close to 57 years old, a juvenile diabetic, a cardiac patient and have high blood pressure obesity. My blood sugars always ran high, my back was in constant pain and I was always feeling run down and weak. I knew that I had to do something. I have seen a lot of personal trainers and they seem to make everyone do the same routine over and over again, and then I met Dan.
Dan is a vault of knowledge and has customized my training to me and my physical needs. I was obese and I had no strength at all. My body was at it's weakest point when I began. Dan doesn't give up on you and he cares.
Within a few months my whole life has turned around with healthy eating habits and working out with Dan two times a week. Not only have I lost pounds, but more importantly a lot of inches. My blood sugars are the best that they have ever been and I only take 1/3 the amount of insulin that I used to take. I no longer have high blood pressure or backaches. I now take my dogs on long walks without getting winded, whereas before I could barely walk from my car to the gym's front door without sitting down to catch my breath. I haven't felt this good since I was in my twenty's. I get stronger day after day.
Dan has not only given me my health back, but he saved my life. All trainers cost relatively the same, give or take a couple of dollars, but if it's the best trainer that you are looking for, Dan is the one. No one can ever put a price on your health, and with Dan you are getting your money's worth.
At this point, Dan is not only my personal trainer, but I also consider him a good friend. I look forward to many healthy years training with him.

Dan Bowen is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to personal training. He has extensive theoretical and practical knowledge. His exercise plan is always varied and never gets boring from week to week. This is true for both his "boot camps" and to individual sessions.
Dan is able to quickly modify an exercise to accommodate a weak back, knee sprain or to adapt to a recently healed wrist injury. He is encouraging while, at the same time, has high expectations and helps to push clients to do their personal best. And best yet, Dan always has a smile on his face.
