Ask yourself:

  • Do you get winded easily?
  • Aches & pains holding you back?
  • Can’t keep up with grandkids?

WE KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE

Our Personal Training Can Help Improve:

Memory

Are you concerned about cognitive diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s? Our personal trainers can pinpoint which areas of your brain that need a particular stimulus.

Balance

Not as stable as you’d like? Have you had a fall or near fall recently? We offer the most comprehensive balance and fall prevention tools available.

Injuries

Afraid that your health and injury history won’t be understood? In our personal training careers we’ve seen just about everything you can have and know how to work around it all.

Strength

Strength declines due to aging muscle atrophy (called sarcopenia). While natural, it’s not normal. Good news! It’s preventable & reversible! Our personal training will show you how.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve found it helps the learning process and facilitates becoming an independent exerciser more quickly by having multiple personal trainers all collaborating on your progress and prescription. Instead of just one great coach, you get a whole team all working for you! This also creates greater scheduling flexibility to meet your needs.

For most senior fitness clients and older adults, the minimum effective dosage recommends training a minimum of twice per week. Optimum frequency is 3x/week. You can train more frequently and that will help you reach your goals faster.

Unfortunately, we don’t accept any insurance. However, with a prescription from your doctor stating your specific need for our services, our fees can be tax deductible, or you can use your flex/HSA account.

Of course prices vary, based on education, experience, value, and the market. Generally speaking if you want a highly qualified professional you will be paying anywhere from $65-150/hr in the Salt Lake valley.

A quality fitness professional/personal trainer should have some higher education in a health sciences field. They should also have a nationally accredited certification that requires continuing education each year-no weekend certifications. The personal trainer should also listen to your needs and wants and adjust the training to fit your goals-not what they like/want to do. They should have good inter-personal skills. 

Remote or hybrid personal training is definitely an option. However, it isn’t for everyone. If you struggle with being consistent with your exercise, don’t know proper form, or haven’t been exercising long hybrid personal training may not be the best fit… initially. 

Of course we’re biased and say ABSOLUTELY! The biggest values of hiring a professional personal trainer are:

  1. Accountability
  2. Form correction
  3. helping avoid injuries
  4. Prevent boredom and plateaus in your results.

The best answer is it depends! Everyone is different. 

Will you see results? Guaranteed! 

While everyone is a little different our clients usually start seeing results in 6-12 weeks. At about 6-12 months you’ll see significant improvements.

I was quite out of shape when I first started 6 months ago, but now I feel myself getting stronger and have more stamina. The personal trainers are all excellent and had so much patience, especially when I didn’t feel great. It’s a fun place to go and I receive personalized training specific for my body. Coming here twice a week has been my motivation to get in shape.

My mom has been using LFS for more than a month. She is 83 and I am absolutely floored by her progress. She’s doing things I’ve NEVER seen her do! It’s over an hour from where we live, so after the first five visits, she is doing virtual sessions. She was hesitant at first, but she’s getting connected by herself and getting it done! She LOVES every one of the trainers. Her main motivation is to stay independent . . . It’s plain to see that her desires will continue to be fulfilled!

This is an amazing concept for the Utah community. At our clinic, we see hundreds of patients a year that want to get healthy, stay healthy, continue their physical training, and achieve their fitness goals. We send our patients to Ryan's team at Leverage in conjunction with our treatment protocol to keep active patients moving and hitting their fitness targets month after month. Keep up the good work Leverage Team!

Leverage Fitness trainers provide exactly what I need, strength and balance routines. I am slowly gaining more control each week. I don’t mind paying since I’m getting my money’s worth in better balance and increased strength.

I am 81 and started about 5 or 6 years ago with Leverage because I felt like I was going to be feeble if I didn’t have special exercise training. They have been just what I have needed.
