The Importance of Working with a Certified Personal Trainer

An experienced, educated personal trainer has knowledge of the functions and processes of the human body. Your trainer will review your health history for necessary precautions and limitations and assess your fitness level. A personal trainer can help motivate, teach and educate you to improve your cardiovascular fitness, strength, flexibility and basic nutrition. An effective trainer has a keen eye of proper movements and techniques for maximum results and safety helping ensure a productive and safe workout program to reach your goals. Most trainers specialize in certain areas, so if you are looking to compete in or pursue an athletic endeavor, bodybuilding or power lifting, hire a trainer experienced in that area. If you are an individual with physical limitations such as joint replacement, COPD, spinal issues, metabolic disease, obesity, post re-hab therapy needs, etc., hire a trainer that has worked extensively with these individuals. Be sure your trainer has experience and is certified by an accredited organization that requires hours of study and hands on training. Watch out for the “get certified over the weekend” organizations. When looking for a personal trainer look for certification by a reputable organization such as The American Council on Exercise (ACE).
ACE is accredited by NCCA (National Commission for Certifying Agencies). ACE is one of the few fitness organizations whose programs are accredited. The International Health, Racquett and Sportsclub Association (IHRSA) has recommended that club owners only hire personal trainers certified by organizations accredited by NCCA.

“Remember, at any age you can achieve improved fitness for activities of daily living, athletic performance, aesthetics, and most importantly your health.”

Professional Fitness Emphasis

Georjia Motta is certified through The American Council on Exercise (ACE www.acefitness.org) as a Personal Trainer and as an Advanced Health and Fitness Specialist (Clinical Exercise Specialist). This advanced certification is given to those having met certain requirements beyond personal training and having worked extensive hours with special populations and those with physical limitations and an AARP trainer under ACE. Georjia has continued to work in the fitness and health industry since 1982 developing and implementing exercise programs to individuals, groups and the corporate office worker. The extensive number of years, vast experiences, and diverse clientele has helped increase her skills as a trainer. Clients she works with vary in fitness abilities, age, and athletic pursuits. Her passion and specialty is in programs to the senior population, those with physical limitations and the office worker. Her years of teaching and continued education in Pilates based principles has effectively enhanced all areas of her training especially post rehabilitative and sport specific.

Georjia's unique fitness software program is being used by many seated office workers. This software (Fit it in Fitness At The DeskÓ) for the extended seated worker at their computer offers a personalized programmable timed pop-up helping remind the seated worker to take a mini fitness break with 4 minute seated movement video to follow. The exercises are geared to enhance flexibility and relieve stress to the seated office worker. To learn more, visit www.atthedesksoftware.com.
