Team Fitness America – In Home Personal Trainers

“Helping America One Pound At A Time”

Team Fitness America Featured On A National Television Show

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on February 9, 2010

Anybody would love to win one year’s worth of personal training and nutritional guidance, but what is one way that somebody could go about receiving such a great prize? One way is to get on the Price Is Right like one of Team Fitness America’s newest clients, Stephanie out of Phoenix, AZ.

Team Fitness America had their first national television debut on January 18 of this year on the Price Is Right. The feature took place among an amazing showcase lineup placed around health related products and services.

As Stephanie made all of the right guesses leading to win a personal trainer for one year, she later found herself matched up with ISSA certified personal trainer, Mike Hines.

“I love to exercise and I like to train people to get the body they are looking for…A year and a half ago, I was 260 pounds,” said Hines, who currently has the lead running to become March’s Personal Trainer of The Month.

“Through exercise and proper diet, I am now 175 pounds,” added Hines.

Team Fitness America has launched a special for the month of February in honor of their new national television experience. Any client who begins in the month of February can take advantage of 5 sessions for $5 with the purchase of any package.

“I was ecstatic with the opportunity to have Team Fitness America become part of such an excellent game show,” said Margie Pajak, president of Team Fitness America.

“We hope that they will have us back as many times as they want so that we can continue providing such motivating individuals like Stephanie with great personal trainers,” added Pajak.

Team Fitness America is set to appear on another showcase on February 10, 2010.

“While many clients achieved superb results throughout last year, we felt as though clients needed an added edge to reach their fitness goals faster while making our fitness programs even more convenient,” said Giordano. “With four easy to follow nutritional programs that encompass a Low Fat Traditional, Low Fat Vegetarian, Low Carb, and a Diabetic option, convenient meal delivery has never been offered at such an amazingly affordable rate while combined with personal trainers that come to you.”

Tips To Go From Fat To Fit In The New Year With Team Fitness America

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on January 25, 2010

It is time for that New Year’s resolution again. People across the nation set goals to lose weight with last year’s resolutions but fell just short of accomplishment through the lack of on-going commitment. Now the slate has been wiped clean thus making room for a fresh start. This year, take full advantage of the fresh start and stay on track to reach the body that you always wanted. The following are some Team Fitness America tips to stick to the plan this year and finally make a real difference without having to repeat the same goals next year.

Set a goal.

Set a measurable, attainable goal and pick a realistic time frame thus making it manageable and conquerable. A lot of us go wrong by saying “I want to lose 100 lbs in a year”. That goal is simply too broad and that time frame is way too long. Instead, make it manageable and more rewarding while not making it a mentally draining experience. Some of the best goals are set in three-month time periods with goals such as to lose 10 lbs or possibly get into a smaller size of jeans. Maybe you are training for an event and you want to shave a few seconds off your running time. Whatever your goal might be, keep it short and realistic. Remember you can add another three-month goal after you hit the first one.

Write it down.

Goals that we can see in ink, we can make happen. Write it down in black ink and post it in a place where you will see it every day. This will help remind yourself “to stick to it” when you start to feel like you are losing sight of that goal. Many people who reach their goals successfully will stick their goal sheet in a place where they know they are going to see it on a regular basis. Places such as the bathroom mirror, refrigerator, on the back of the front door so that they see it before they go about their day, or even on their office desk. These are just reminders before, during, and after our day. Add it to your calendar of events to check in each week, make sure you see your goal, and truly know that it is there.

Take a before picture and visualize the goal.

Taking a picture of yourself before you start losing weight is an excellent motivator. Once you start to see results and feel better, you can look back at that point and see where your muscles are forming while your love handles are whittling away. A visual picture of your results sometimes is the best motivator for sticking to your goal. Moreover, once you start getting compliments on how great you look, you can see how different your body looks and feels. Visualize shedding pounds and mentally become one with your goals. Close your eyes and imagine what you would look like once you have reached your fitness goals and how great you feel as you fit into clothes that you never thought you would again. Research has proven that if you concentrate on thinking about your goal and visualize, it will happen because of the energy you put into wanting it to happen. The more you think about the end result, the quicker and easier the goal becomes.

Keep a food journal.

Creating the ability to see what you actually ate compared to what you thought you ate helps cut back on overeating and binging. Find a place in your journal to put your moods before, during, and after a meal sitting. Break the pattern of eating when you are bored, sad, or even mad instead of actual hunger with the true realization of why you are eating what you are eating. Learning what emotions you control through comfort eating will help you to eat less and make more healthy choices. In addition, sometimes we will eat something bad, perhaps a doughnut early in the day, then decide that we ruined the whole day’s diet. This normally makes us feel like we should just eat poorly all day because it really will not matter from that point on. One doughnut does not ruin your diet. Visually seeing what you ate and when you ate it, will help you build better food choices and nutritional decisions throughout your day.

Hire an in home personal fitness trainer.

A personal trainer can motivate and direct you on which exercises to do for your specific body type and goals. A 300 pound, 6’5 male will have different exercises and dietary needs than a 200 lb, 5’5 female even if they both share a common goal of weight loss. A professional fitness trainer will develop a plan of attack against your unwanted pounds and provide a routine that you can do even when they are not there. This will keep you motivated, on track, and hold you personally accountable for the exercise portion of your goal. Some people will say, “I do not need a personal trainer because I can do this myself”. The reality is you have been saying that for years and probably still have the same weight loss goals that you might have had ten years ago. Would you try to do your taxes without some form of help? Probably not, you would consult with a professional on the steps to take and which forms to use. A professional fitness specialist can take into consideration your eating habits, working habits, health issues and limitations, and design a custom program tailored to your unique body type and design.

Plan your workouts into your day.

Do you have too much to do and in a little amount of time? We all try to squeeze as much as possible into each day and say that we will get to working out when we have the time. In reality, the time is now that you should put your workout sessions into your priority task list every day. This is you time for stress relief as well as time for your body to be healthy and fit. Treat this hour with the utmost respect and never let anybody take it from you. By allowing your workout sessions to have “a say” in your scheduling process, you are taking goal commitments one-step further and proving that you have the determination it takes to reach your fitness goals.

New Top January Team Fitness America Personal Trainer Takes The Lead

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on January 13, 2010

Team Fitness America continues their on going highlighted Personal Trainer Of The Month and embarks on 2010 strong with Miami personal trainer, Dimitry Zhitov.

Serving personal trainers throughout 19 metropolitan areas, Team Fitness America started their personal trainer of the month in June of last year. Each month they announced top personal trainers from places such as Los Angeles, Baltimore, New Jersey, and Delaware but this year the city of Miami takes the first place prize from housing the top personal trainer.

This feature goes to a personal fitness trainer voted through superior client testimonials, an established record of client success, and one that continues to outclass others while following company policies and procedures.

Initially from Russia, Zhitov has been serving the Miami metro as a personal trainer for five years and concentrates in weight loss management, strengthening, toning, and hypertrophy.

Certified through the National Council of Strength and Fitness as well as the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, he has received celebrated client reviews and continues to show accomplishment with helping clients with their fitness goals, making him Team Fitness America January Personal Trainer Of The Month.

“My goal is to not only get my clients the results that they want, but also teach them the why and how of their routine,” said Zhitov. “I want to keep them motivated and not let them give up on themselves so that they can achieve their goals.”

“Working out is called working out for reason, which I know is hard, but I aim to make it fun and enjoyable so that my clients are not counting the seconds of the clock until the session is over,” added Zhitov.

Some Team Fitness America clients, who are located in the Miami metro, shared their thoughts and opinions about working with Zhitov.

“He is very precise, organized, and carries out the workouts with perfection,” said Rocio, a Miami personal training client of Team Fitness America. “He helps me work beyond my comfort level and pushes hard to encourage me to do more and I like that he exercises with me to show me the exercises properly.”

“My trainer is wonderful and I am so very happy,” said Susan, who is also a Team Fitness America client that is training with Zhitov.

Team Fitness America has a wide mixture of affordable, certified personal fitness trainers that get the job done time and time again, but only one per month will be selected their top personal trainer.

“We continue to upgrade our service capabilities each month to provide our clients with the fitness specialists and programs that they are looking for, but we couldn’t do it without great personal trainers like Miami based Dimitry who demonstrates above industry standards,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like him while adding additional services, such as meal delivery and online nutritional trackers, to give clients every opportunity possible to reach their fitness goals,” added Pajak.

Team Fitness America Five Reasons Why Your Best Friend Needs To Be Your Workout Partner

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on December 28, 2009

We shop, eat lunch, laugh, cry, and even watch movies together. Women love to do almost everything with their girlfriends and some have ever since they were young. These bond-building experiences can also serve to be a momentous addition to our weight loss goals, especially with our best friend being there every step of the way throughout our fitness program.

In due time, if we have not realized it already, we come to a decision to finally get in shape but sometimes lack the power to get started on our own. With our hectic lifestyles, not much time is left to go to the gym and most of us do not want to deal with all those people gawking at us while we work out. The equipment can be intimidating and not actually knowing how to use the equipment can be frustrating. Worse yet, we may need to wait for long periods of time to get on the equipment that we know we need to use.

To circumvent all of this hassle, go with an in home personal trainer. A certified, background checked personal trainer that comes to the home will help alleviate feeling timid about using gym equipment, waiting in long lines, and will give the enthusiasm needed to reach fitness goals fast. However, what happens when the personal trainer leaves? Some of us find that it is hard to emulate the exercises the same exact way our personal trainer did and with the same passion.

To make an in home fitness program go from good to great, get one of your friends involved to give your fitness program the edge it needs to provide you both lasting results. Here are five great reasons why you need a work out partner to get full use of our in home personal training program.

Keeping Accountable.

Some days we just do not feel like working out and it seems so easy to pick up the phone and cancel your in home personal trainer that is on the way. If you cancel, while knowing your friend is coming over, then you would be letting them down as well. You are less likely to cancel the session and stay on track with your fitness goals when you have a friend working out with you.

Learning Partner Exercises.

It will be more fun and successful to learn partner exercises that will benefit both of you. With some exercises in Yoga and Pilates partner exercises are key to the actual exercise and the full benefits of the actual exercise can be very useful when performed by two people. By learning partner exercises, you and your friend can work out on the days the personal trainer does not come and still get a full workout. With weights and strength training, your fitness specialist can show you some great partner exercises that will make the difference.

Developing Programs You Both Can Remember.

When your personal trainer leaves, you will have a friend that has seen the exercises and can repeat them with you. Two eyes are always better than one, giving you the advantage to repeat what you learned and execute the exercises more distinctively to target your specific zones and goals. You can make sure that your form in each exercise is precise and you both are breathing appropriately.

Gaining Confidence.

With working out together in the same hour, you can see the results of your friend as you see your own results. It will not only build your confidence to look in the mirror and see your body change, but to hear from your close friend how great you look and feel will help your conviction grow beyond all boundaries. Compliments will build your confidence and make you feel great, especially if they come from one of your best friends.

Building Encouragement.

Some days we need that extra push to stay on the right track with our nutrition and fitness goals. We may have one too many brownies and figure that the whole day has been shot, but knowing that we have somebody checking in on us besides our personal trainer serves as a huge part to weight loss success. They will encourage you to push through the day and stay on track. Without our best friends cheering us on during the low times, we would set ourselves back.

Obviously not all people lose weight at the same speed or rate, but having a friend as a work out partner can prove to be a key piece of the puzzle to an amazing fitness program. Setting goals, then achieving them together, is twice the fun while giving you ten times the results. Find an in home personal training company like Team Fitness America, where you and your friend can work out for as little as $17.50 per session.

Team Fitness America’s December Personal Trainer Continues To Make A Difference

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on December 13, 2009

Team Fitness America finishes 2009 strong with the announcement of their December Personal Trainer of The Month, Laura Kraman. Due to her outstanding client reviews and continuous success with helping clients conquer their fitness goals, Team Fitness America views Kraman as an excellent fitness trainer and wellness connoisseur.
 

On a monthly basis, Team Fitness America selects a fitness trainer as their top specialist and awards them Personal Trainer Of The Month. This featured spotlight goes to a fitness trainer nominated through high-ranking client testimonials, an established record of client accomplishment, and one that continues to excel while following company policies and procedures.

Kraman, who has a Bachelor’s of Science from Wilmington University, is a certified personal trainer through NASM and a certified sports nutritionist through IFPA. She has experience facilitating groups on weight loss, weight management, emotional eating, self-esteem, and behavioral modification.

Through Kraman’s dual certifications and background of experience, she has been practicing personal training in Wilmington, DE for six years while helping numerous clients reach the fitness goals that they have always wanted to achieve.

“I use an individualized approach to determine what each client’s needs are to help him or her to reach their fitness goals,” said Kraman.

“My personal training sessions are challenging, but fun, to keep my clients motivated and successful,” added Kraman.

A few Team Fitness America clients decided to share their thoughts and feelings about working with Kraman.

“Laura is very good at what she does, she gives us the exercises that we need to develop the parts of our body that we would like to tone and get in more shape,” said Bobby, a Team Fitness America client who is training with Kraman.

Other Delaware clients such as Betsy included, “She takes such good care of me! She is always punctual and she makes sure that she pushes me just the right amount.”

“She is outstanding! I love the intensity of the workouts that she has provided,” said Antoinette, who is also a Team Fitness America client from Delaware.

Team Fitness America has a wide diversity of affordable personal trainers, yoga instructors, and Pilates instructors that are magnificent at achieving results, but only one fitness trainer per month will be chosen their top personal trainer.

“Clients looking for an affordable alternative to the gym throughout Delaware and the many other cities that we service can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Laura,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her while adding additional services, such as meal delivery and online nutritional trackers, to give clients every opportunity possible to reach their fitness goals,” added Pajak.

Team Fitness America Top Ten Ways To Stay Fit Through The Holidays

Posted by teamfitnessamerica on November 23, 2009

It is never easy to stay fit through the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons. With everything from the big holiday dinners to sugar induced office parties, it is almost impossible to stick to a regular fitness routine and healthy eating plan. Here are Team Fitness America’s top 10 tips to stay fit, remain trim, and protect you from having to do a post holiday, crash diet.

Eat before you go to any event or holiday party.

Eating before you go to a place full of great tasting food, allow yourself to be full, giving you the ability to avoid all the heavy hors d’oeuvres stockpiled at each holiday event. Holiday parties and events are full of high fat foods and pastries. The time between Halloween and New Years proves, each year, to be a period full of high calorie events that can leave you only to be depressed from the addition of unwanted pounds. We have all kinds of events from the Harvest Festival to a Christmas Gala and even the Pineapple Festival, which each are all themed around different types of food. If you go with your stomach already semi full, then you will notice that most of the foods are not as appealing to eat. Munch on a few items and still have a good time, but by not going to your event hungry you will still feel satisfied, not tired from overeating, and accomplish not offending your hosts.

Get on a solid, effective nutritional plan.

Knowing what to eat is half the battle. Most people, deep down inside, know what foods are bad for them to consume but neglect to go with their “gut feeling” due to the lack of a plan or regime. Other people honestly do not have any idea and might think, “Cheese has milk and is a protein, and therefore cheese is good for me.” Well, some cheese is good for you and some is not. With a solid, easy to follow nutritional plan, you will know what foods to avoid, what is good to eat, and what to venture towards at a holiday buffet, party, or other food event. A nutritional plan that covers your food choices, giving you foods that you like to eat, and the correct amount of caloric intake you should have will assist when you need it most.

Be accountable and stick with it.

Track your food in your online journal. An online journal is a great source for tracking, providing you with the ability to enter all of your food choices for the week, and if you have one, sync it to your PDA for ideal results. That way, if you are at a party or event and you want to see what might fit into your daily-allotted calories, then you will find yourself less likely to overindulge with unnecessary calories.

Always be ready and plan ahead.

If you know at 3pm, the office fills up with cakes and cookies, then plan ahead. Allow yourself one sweet at that time and plan healthy meals around that sweet so that you do not fill up on junk all day.

Lose the “I ate badly this meal so the whole day is shot” mentality.

So what you ate the doughnut for breakfast. Have a healthy lunch and counteract the bad food downfall. Assuming that one bad food choice has wrecked your whole day is not true and it is simply an excuse to eat badly for the rest of the day. Stop that behavior before it becomes a regular thought.

Make tomorrow today.

Most plans for eating healthy tend to be delayed with the thoughts of tomorrow or “When January rolls around I will have a great New Year’s resolution.” Every day you wait to eat healthy and exercise is one more day that you are further away from reaching your fitness goals. Instead of thinking about what you plan to do better tomorrow, just buckle down and do it today. Dig your heels in, make the call to a fitness professional, and get started today. Support throughout the holidays is exactly what you need both physically and mentally.

Hire a personal trainer or fitness specialist to get your fitness goals on track.

Seeing your relatives and friends once a year is now more common than ever, especially since we all are so geographically spread out, and you need to make the best impression possible. If you slack on your exercises or do not want to track your own progress, then a fitness trainer will stay on top of you and your goals. Some of us simply will not exercise unless we know that we have someone coming over to our house to make us do it. So hire a personal trainer to jump-start your exercise routine.

Use a service that emails you updates every day.

Some of us need more than just a personal trainer a few times a week and need daily encouragement with continued motivation. Some services, like Team Fitness America, provide daily nutritional and fitness updates with encouragements to keep us on track while we are attempting to meet our fitness and health goals. You can even upload before and after pictures so you can track your own progress visually and print out shopping lists to take to the store with you so you do not make impulse buys.

Refuse a junk food sale.

A lot of us buy things we do not really want or simply because it “is on sale”. Just because the potato chips are buy one get one free does not mean you should buy them. If you look at what sales are posted and where they are posting them, then you will notice that the high fat cookies and chips are usually on sale while being exactly at eye level with colorful, eye-catching wrappers and inviting pictures. Think of the grocery store prying your hard-earned cash out of your hands as you lift that gallon of ice cream into your cart. You do not need it, your body does not want it, and see it for what is it, a marketing tactic to get you to buy it. Ever notice the healthy food is tucked into a small corner, a bottom shelf, or usually in the backside of the super market and you have to ask where it is?

Refuse the dollar menu at the drive through.

Almost all of the dollar items are cheap, easy to make, and filled with empty calories and high fat. Take a second look at the menu and order the more healthy options, such as a salad without the hefty dressing, grilled chicken, or the many other healthy options that most fast food restaurants have place in their menu as opposed to the dollar double cheeseburger or fried onion rings. Because it is cheap does not make it healthy or good food for you, it simply makes it cheap food.

Keep in mind that as the holidays approach you need to be ready to tackle them with gusto and be ready for whatever parties and unhealthy eating events that take place. Companies, such as Team Fitness America, can assist with you with both the nutritional and exercise side of your life while keeping you accountable as you reach your goals.

“I think that she’s doing a wonderful job, she’s really helping me out in many different ways,” said Kevin, a New Jersey client of Team Fitness America. “She understands my goals and has formulated a workout in training according to those goals and I am seeing results after just a few sessions.”

Other New Jersey clients such as Zaheda included, “I think that she is amazing and I have already dropped a pants size.”

“She is awesome and I am definitely going to get more sessions with her,” said Jennifer, who is also a Team Fitness America client from Rumson, NJ.

Team Fitness America has a wide variety of reasonably priced personal trainers that are magnificent at achieving results, but only one fitness authority per month will be chosen as The Personal Trainer Of The Month.

“Clients looking for a great New Jersey personal trainer can call in and request a fitness specialist just like Julia,” said Margaret Pajak, Team Fitness America and Fit2Max, LLC’s founder.

“We aim to keep providing America with personal trainers like her and have them share in the many joys of reaching fitness goals at an affordable price,” says Pajak.
