Experience I have been training since 2000, working in health clubs and studios and working with a variety of clients.
Education/Credentials I have a Bachelors Degree in Sports Biology and am certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association. Currently, I am working towards my licensure as a massage therapist.
Question We have very little room, if you could have one piece of equipment for a man & a woman to workout on what would it be, My husband wants a Bowflex but I know a lot of people who have not been satified with it. Any suggestions?
Answer I get asked this question a lot. When I started out own my own as an in-home trainer, my clients would ask me the same thing. And I would tell them the same thing, "not much". All you really need are: an adjustable bench, some sort of dumbbells (adjustable or regular), and maybe a physio ball. Add in all your bodyweight exercises and you're good to go.
