Satin Fitness trainers are not Registered Nutritionists. So we have a staff of the best in their respective fields. Debra Wein of www.sensiblenutrition.com is a respected registered nutritionist and author.
This is where the continuing education comes in handy. Depending upon the extent of an injury, if you have seen a doctor, physical therapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, etc. and still have no relief, maybe we can help by strengthening the problem area. Our job is to help people with sore backs; knees, shoulders and feet feel better! We work with many doctors also to help their patients after surgery.
All of us need to exercise to be healthy and live a long life. Even children! Thin or heavy, old or young need to move to build resistance to sickness and be strong enough to do the things they need to do each day.
Since I have an Exercise Physiology background, I do not need it. Some of our trainers in the past have. The continuing education is important. The certifications are not. Certifications are a way for a company to make money. We are striving for state certifications.
Since there are no contracts to sign, there are no obligations. As long as you feel a need to get healthy, we are there to help.
Yes, you do train on your own. We have developed the best system for retaining the information we give you. As you exercise we take digital pictures of you doing the movements and incorporate those into your exercise program. Then, to keep you on task, you email me the results of each exercise day.
We train clients anytime day or night in their homes, offices, trailer (during the summer), outside and health clubs.
It does help to have some equipment in your home, but since 1989 we have been personally training people that have no equipment. We bring all you need to help you get the best workout possible. We do endorse some exercise equipment that you can get at a discount.

According to the Cancerbacup website, which is the leading cancer research site in the UK: As moderate exercise is good for us anyway, reducing the risk of conditions like heart disease and diabetes, it makes sense to keep active.
