Dan's Papers - August 3, 2007 - Getting Personal at Gym Hampton

If you've read any of my previous updates on the progress I've made since I started working out with Kevin Keyser at Gym Hampton, you know that I've seen both physical and psychological results that I could never have achieved by working out on my own. Not only have I lost inches and pounds but I am also happier and more self-confident, which is not always guaranteed when you hire a personal trainer. I've heard of instances when personal trainers don't personalize fitness programs, goals aren't met, personalities just don't click and overall, clients see no significant changes in body or mind and have a flat out unsatisfying experience. But working out at Gym Hampton works because their expert staff makes it their goal to provide clients with a program specifically designed for their health and fitness needs, no matter the client's background or fitness level.

Besides their expertise in bodybuilding and body sculpting, the staff at Gym Hampton is also knowledgeable in functional fitness training - a style of exercise that focuses on building "functional" muscles that play a significant role in life's daily activities. The personal trainers at Gym Hampton can create a routine that combines movement patterns focusing on bodyweight and core concentration that allows the body to move as one whole unit versus breaking down body parts. This style of training integrates different planes of motion, so the body is not just moving forward but also backward, right and left, which will improve one's balance and agility.

The trainers at Gym Hampton are also skilled in sport specific training. For example, if you are an avid tennis player, a trainer at the facility will tailor a routine geared towards strengthening key muscles used in that particular sport. These custom designed programs help athletes to develop and maintain strength that will boost their performance. During my personal training sessions I've seen many clients with advanced fitness levels come to Gym Hampton because the trainers there specialize in bringing out maximum results in even the most advanced athletes and fitness enthusiasts.

If you prefer to spend your time in the Hamptons relaxing on the beach instead of in the gym, the personal trainers at Gym Hampton are readily available in New York City as well. A certified personal trainer will travel to your building or facility for training sessions.

My friend Mike had his first personal training session with Kevin last weekend. "How'd it go?" I asked him. "It was one of the most intense workouts of my life. I can't wait to go back," he told me. Not a surprise, because my personal experience with Gym Hampton has been extremely positive. My balance, flexibility and posture have improved along with my physical appearance, and I attribute these results to the personalization of my workouts.
