Why AlaskaFit?

Thank you for visiting our website.  You have just taken the first step towards changing your life!

I am honored that you are choosing AlaskaFit to help you to accomplish your fitness and health goals.

Which brings me to the question in your head right now…”Why AlaskaFit?”  Or, more specifically, “Why would I choose AlaskaFit to help me reach my goals?”

Let me tell you a little story…

I arrived in Alaska in 2002.  In 2003, I got my Personal Trainer certification through ACE (The American Council on Exercise).  ACE is the largest certifying association for Personal Trainers in the United States.

“Great! I am now a Certified Personal Trainer…I’m going to change people’s lives, starting right now!”  This was what I thought as I searched around for someone to hire me as a Personal Trainer.

What I found when I got “out there” in the Anchorage community of gyms and fitness places was a sea of “ok.”  The place that offered me my first job provided incredibly mediocre service to their clients.  I found that things like standing up clients, showing up late and/or unprepared for Personal Training sessions was not only acceptable, it was pretty much “what everybody does.”

“Really?!” I thought. ” How can this be possible?”

“OK, maybe if the clients are getting amazing, life-changing results, they can overlook a missed appointment or two.”

What I saw was countless people spending untold dollars and wasting their time, getting zero results.  And yet, they kept signing up and re-signing up.  Coming back to the gym and yet they were getting no real changes to their body, their health or their lives.

Not only that, they were satisfied…or at least not complaining…when they received mediocre service and attention from the club or from the employees.  You know what I mean?  Have you seen this in your gym?  Have you been stood up by a personal trainer or worse, been ignored or injured in a workout that YOU are paying extra for?

I’ll tell you, it wore me down.

My clients were getting great results. I never, ever no-showed for an appointment and was prepared with my workouts.  My clients would even point out to me what other people in the gym were doing that was a waste of their time or sometimes, unsafe.

“Hooray!” I thought, “my clients are not only learning for themselves, but they really ‘get it’ and are sharing what they know.”

As I continued to broaden my education (got my Masters in Exercise Science and Health Promotion in 2007), I grew more and more amazed at what I saw going on around me in my workplaces.

In 2009, I launched AlaskaFit Boot Camps.  It began as an experiment in Girdwood (I lived there at the time).  It was a ton of fun (even in the rain) and people got life-changing results.

“Fantastic!  If I can make this work in Girdwood, Anchorage will love it!”

In October of 2009 I brought AlaskaFit Boot Camp to the Dome.  My very first class had about 5 people in it.  Two of those very first boot campers continue on at AlaskaFit today. Every day they grow, learn and, of course, get a great workout!

The other 3 are not active clients, but I’m still in touch with them, they still get my newsletter and are maintaining their health and fitness:)

I am proud to say that AlaskaFit has never “no-showed” for my clients.

I continued to grow my business from just a few boot campers to classes as large as 90.

I’ve learned a lot!

I’ve learned that YOU are my most important client.  Having hundreds of clients, but not knowing their names, their goals, their stories, is unacceptable. Our class size is now limited to 20 for Boot Camp and 6 for Small Group Personal Training.

I’ve learned that no matter what else is going on in your life, you can do NOTHING if you are not healthy!

I’ve learned that the experience YOU get in 45 minutes of class is nothing compared to the time you will be talking about your experience with your family and friends.

I’ve learned the secrets to making sure YOU are 100% satisfied with the service I provide. (You can visit my “Success Stories page or click here to see their results).

I’ve learned that the only way to be successful is for YOU to get real, life-changing results.  That’s why I guarantee YOUR results 100%.  If you follow our program and do not see results, you do not pay…it’s that simple.  If I don’t believe in and practice what I preach, why should you?

When I started AlaskaFit, I set out to change the way things are done here in Anchorage.

I am raising the bar every day for my staff, my clients and myself.  I invite you to join us and find out for yourself.

A Core Value of AlaskaFit is “Constant, steady improvement for ourselves, our company and our clients.”  Every today is better than every yesterday.

AlaskaFit’s mission is, “To make YOU, better!”  This simply means that YOU should be the best YOU that you can.

Our workouts are not cookie-cutter.  They are different every time.  And, they are different for you.  Your body is going to move and react differently that the person standing next to you.  I know that you can each get YOUR best workout and make the adaptations and adjustments (harder or gentler) to kick your own butt in each and every class.

And I don’t just stop at the fitness side of things.

Did you know that up to 80-90% of what you achieve in your fitness class is based on what you are (or are not) eating?

This is the single biggest reason that most other fitness or weight-loss programs fail.  They fail to incorporate fitness AND nutrition to get YOU a complete change in your lifestyle.

Weight-loss, healthy living, being fit.  All of these are achievable with the right tools, coaching and guidance.

YOU CAN accomplish anything and everything that you want to in your life!

And I will get you there.  I guarantee it!
