The Hound’s Approach to Training

“At Body By Hound, I believe that every client is unique, and so is their path to fitness. My training programs focus on flexibility, strength, and patience, helping you achieve sustainable results tailored to your goals.”

Initial Assessments

“Every journey starts with understanding where you are now.”

During your first session, I’ll evaluate your fitness level, mobility, and overall health. This includes:

  • Movement Assessments: Testing your form on foundational exercises like squats, push-ups, or planks to identify strengths and areas for improvement.
  • Flexibility and Mobility Tests: Simple stretches and movements to gauge your range of motion.
  • Goal-Setting Discussions: We’ll talk about your specific goals—whether that’s improving flexibility, building strength, losing weight, or something else entirely.

Personalized Workout Plans

“No cookie-cutter programs—a plan built just for you.”

Each workout plan is tailored to your unique needs, goals, and fitness level.

Key components of your plan may include:

  • Strength Training: Using weights, machines, or bodyweight exercises to build muscle.
  • Mobility and Flexibility Work: Focusing on stretches and movement exercises to improve range of motion.
  • Cardio Conditioning: Incorporating heart-pumping exercises to improve endurance and cardiovascular health.
  • Functional Training: Exercises designed to improve your performance in everyday activities.

Goal Tracking and Progress Monitoring

“See measurable results with every session.”

Trainerize App: I use Trainerize to create, track, and update your personalized program.

  • Access your workouts from your phone.
  • Track stats like weights lifted, reps completed, and time spent exercising.
  • Monitor progress through visual graphs and milestone tracking.

Regular Check-Ins: I’ll review your progress weekly or bi-weekly to ensure your program stays aligned with your goals. Adjustments are made as needed.

Progress Examples:

  • Strength: Increase in weight lifted on key exercises like squats or bench presses.
  • Mobility: Improved flexibility, such as being able to touch your toes or perform deeper squats.
  • Body Composition: Tracking fat loss and muscle gains.

Flexible Training Options

“Your fitness routine should fit your life, not the other way around.”

Emphasis on Education

“Learn the ‘why’ behind every exercise.”

  • I don’t just guide you through workouts; I teach you proper form and technique so you can exercise confidently.
  • You’ll understand how each movement supports your goals, empowering you to train independently over time.
