Fitness That Fits You

Sometimes we all need a little more. Maybe you need a little more motivation and accountability, or a little more of a challenge, or just a little more help. You can get a little more - or a lot more! - with Personal Training.

Work individually with a Certified Personal Trainer who will create a plan to meet your specific fitness goals.

With the purchase of a personal training package, you will also receive an intake appointment prior to your first session.

He helps his clients work with rather than against their bodies by finding the exercises that work best for their physiology and learning how to move well long term. Fun fact, he loves exploring new water holes in Oregon and cold plunging in rivers and lakes!

George’s approach to personal training is first finding out the capabilities of his clients and slowly building in intensity and challenge from there.
