Our Trainers

I began training at BPT quite a few years ago.  Since that time the venue and the trainers have changed, and both for the better!  The studio itself is spacious and fully equipped with every possible size and shape of exercise equipment you could ever want.  The studio also has cardio machines and changing room/shower facilities.

 Then of course there are Mary and Coleen – they are both excellent!  I have a weekly 1-hour session with each of them so know them both well.  They are different people with different personalities but are equally committed to you and your training.  After my hour I am always exhausted and sore, but that’s the entire point.  Right?  There are certain specific things that make training with them special:

·        Variety – you will never ever be bored or feel like you just did the same thing last week.  The exercise variations are limitless, as are the ways to do them (meaning is it by number of reps, by time, EMOM, or some other equally insidious delivery system).

·        Pushing you – okay a lot of this is on you as the client, meaning how hard do you want to work?  But they set the bar high to challenge you, whatever your level.  Along with working muscle groups your heart rate will be up and you will sweat!  Of course they are right there with you the entire time, encouraging you every step of the way.

·        Listening to you – if you want to focus on a certain part of your body or overall workout style (e.g. you want full body exercises versus individual muscle groups), just say so!  Ditto for something that you do not want to do (e.g. your bad shoulder means do not lift your arm over your head).  They will design workouts customized for you.

·        Flexibility – if you have something pop up that limits you on a certain day, both Coleen and Mary can adjust the workout plan on the fly.  For me it is usually a flare up of my chronic bad back, so those workouts focus on doing things that open up my back (e.g. battle ropes) while not bending over (e.g. no kettlebell swings).

·        Knowledge – want to talk in depth about any fitness related issue?  They can help with pretty much anything you ask about – nutrition, weight loss, specific ailments, chronic conditions, etc.  You name it, they can advise you.

·        Fun! – Both Mary and Coleen are amazingly upbeat outgoing people.  This good mood is infectious so if you walk in grouchy your spirits can’t help but improve.  They both quickly end up like a good work friend – someone you can share lives and stories with as well as the workout.

Overall I cannot say enough good things about BPT.  Great facility, and highly professional & motivated trainers.  This turns into consistently motivating workouts for you!
