Our Definition of General Fitness:
Have you been fighting with 10 to 15 pounds you can’t get rid of? Are you sick of dieting with no long term results? The majority of the STS community consists of clients that want to tone up, fit into their clothes again and want a healthy lifestyle. STS strongly believes that being healthy and strong should not be a chore – it should be manageable (and maybe even a little fun!).

We work with clients of all fitness types, ages and lifestyles:

• Working / traveling
• Stay at home parents
• Access to a gym
• No access to a gym

Our Philosophy on General Fitness:
Living a healthy style in the body you want can be an overwhelming and sometimes negative experience. The media inundates us with “quick-fix” remedies and air-brushed pictures that can lead you feeling like it’s close to impossible to achieve the body you can be proud of. The mission of STS is to EDUCATE and EMPOWER you to take control back in a way that is maintainable and realistic for YOU.

• STS’ takes health, wellness and fitness seriously. We partner with our clients to create a healthy, confident life for you.
• We do not believe in gimmicks or quick fixes – they don’t work and will drive you crazy.
• We believe practical lifestyles are the only way to accomplish general fitness and we teach you how to achieve that.
• Everyone should enjoy their lives and we teach you how to do that while achieving and maintaining a healthy body. (The STS staff enjoys birthday cake and eats Halloween candy too!)
• Everyone is different and has their own fitness “personality.” Some people like working out in groups, while others like doing it on their own. Some like a structured eating plan while others like parameters. We hone in on our clients’ fitness “personality” to create the best game plan for you. Nothing at STS is cookie-cutter or duplicated. Nothing. We believe that if we create a plan with only you in mind, your chances for success are that much higher

Client Type:
Being a personal training studio as opposed to a corporate gym allows our clients to realize they are not on their journey alone; we are a community that supports one another in a personal way. If you are willing to work with us, that is all we care about. Your current fitness level, experience (or lack thereof) in a gym does not matter. We have clients that range in age, body shape, fitness history and goals. . Some are hard core and some have never worked out with a trainer before. But they all share one common trait – they have the heart and courage to work with us to achieve their goals.

Diet Planning:
Diet needs vary based on gender, age, weight, height, current fitness level and fitness goals. A client’s fitness “personality” is just as unique as their thumbprint, and that pertains to eating too. People’s relationship with food is significant, and we work with that and customize plans that work for each client. We will continue to hone and tweak as needed until we find a program that works for you.

• All plans are determined after we know an individual has a clean bill of health.
• We start everyone with a free consultation to discuss your history and goals, which will lead us to creating a plan we can begin together.
• We work closely with Midwestern Meats (www.midwesternfitness.com ) to provide a solution for people that do not have time to prepare their meals themselves. Midwestern Meats has a variety of extremely healthy (and yes, tasty!) freshly pre-prepared meals that they will deliver to your home or office!

Fitness Planning:
STS takes pride in creating custom solutions that really work for our clients based on their lifestyle and fitness “personality.” We have group fitness classes, boot camps, semi-private and private training opportunities you can participate in. Additionally we can work with clients virtually and provide you programs you can do on your own. We have no long term contracts or monthly fees. As you progress your needs may change and we want to be able to adjust to that accordingly.

• Group Fitness - The STS Community will help you long term by introducing you to like-minded individuals through our pot lucks, happy hours, fit camps and newsletters.
• Individual Plans - For those that would prefer a more individualized approach, we provide private and semi-private training sessions depending on your budget and time constraints. We also provide workouts for you to do on your own if that works better for your lifestyle.
• Weekly Check Points – get measured and track progress with us once a week to ensure you are on track with your goals. We can do this in person or virtually and we will tweak your program based on how you are progressing.

STS Community:
The STS community will help you long term by introducing you to like-minded individuals with common goals and lifestyles. We know firsthand that a support system can be a big success factor in achieving long term success. We host pot lucks, happy hours, fit camps and family events to facilitate the healthy lifestyle all the way around with our clients. Additionally we provide newsletters and other educational material that support you in your journey. Our Semi-Private and Classes are a fun way to workout and meet others and we have many clients who have built relationships outside of STS.

Unique Needs:
One of the biggest challenges we find with a new General Fitness client is staying focused because they get bored or don’t find working out fun. We keep things interesting by regularly changing your weight training and cardio routines as well as tracking your progress both from body measurements and fitness strength. We incorporate a variety of equipment in our workouts such as kettle balls, resistance bands, Power Plates and functional training. Perhaps most significantly is that we help our clients stay the course when life can get challenging – if you have the desire, we will find a solution for you.
