Fitness Training

The cost of personal training services can vary greatly in the industry, and is directly related to the value of the service that you receive. We strongly urge you to contact us to discuss the value that you should get out of working with a trainer, and the specific value that you will receive from my other company The Executive Edge Personal Training. In addition, please use the navigation at the top of every page to explore this site, where you can find out more about health, fitness, and The Executive Edge Personal Training philosophies and product offerings.

The personal training rates are for approximate 1-hour training sessions, at $50 +-per session depending on how many session you purchase and whether or not it is in a group setting.
Read more below to learn about the many benefits of working with The Executive Edge Personal Training! Also, for your convenience, we have set up secure credit card processing so that you can pay for your training sessions online. If you would like to set up a recurring payment for your on-going training program using your credit card, then just let us know and we will set up a special payment plan for you.

In addition to one on one personal training sessions, you also have the option of starting out your program with a Fitness Consultation instead. Fitness consultations are a great option if you are concerned about scheduling issues, or about the price of on-going one one on personal training sessions. During a fitness consultation, you get all of the information that you need in order to get started on your program, and then you are left - at least initially - to workout according to your own schedule. A one-time 2-hour fitness consultation includes all of the following benefits:

1) The fitness consultation itself, during which all factors of your physical fitness program will be discussed, and a road map to your success will be laid out. This includes discussion of type, frequency, and intensity of resistance and cardiovascular training programs, nutritional intake, flexibility training, and supplementation, if needed. You will have the opportunity during the fitness consultation to ask any question at all about health and fitness, or your individual program.

2) Access to an Otherdatabase that contains every exercise that will be involved in your program. This database includes moving pictures of each exercise, including text descriptions of how to perform each movement. This database is password protected and will be accessible to you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The exercises are broken down into different body part groups that will be discussed during your initial consultation, and you can spend an unlimited amount of time reviewing the exercises online, and you can also print them out to use during your exercise session.

3) Easy to use nutrition program that will help to keep you on track with your caloric requirements each day. You will receive the program via internet download during your initial consultation.

4) Flexibility Exercises. During your fitness consultation, you will receive a booklet with all of the flexibility exercises that you will need during your training program. You do not have to DO all pages everyday, but the stretches are broken down into individual body parts for you to stretch the areas that need it the most. The booklet includes a graphic of the stretch actually being done, as well as instructions on how to perform each movement.

5) Supplementation Advice. There are many different nutritional supplements on the market today, and it can be difficult to decide which supplements you need, if any. Based on your fitness goal, you will be advised on which supplements should be a part of your program, as well as told where to get the highest quality products.

6) Telephone Coaching. Despite all of the great information that you have from Steps 1 through 6, you may still have questions during the first few months of your training program, and the cost of your initial fitness consultation also covers 3 months of unlimited telephone support. Anytime you have a question, just give us a call and we will get you whatever information you need for 3 full months after your initial consultation.

7) Discounted Follow-up Consultation. If at any point during your training program you feel like you aren't getting the results that you are after, we will come out and do a follow-up consultation with you at a discounted price. During that time we can discuss whatever issues you have questions about, we can go over actual exercises that you are having trouble with, we can discuss intensity, nutrition, cardio - whatever it is that you think you may need some additional help with. Also, we will get a detailed view of what you have been doing since your initial consultation and use that information to tweak your program for maximum performance.

In summary, if you opt for the Fitness Consultation rather than one one one personal training sessions, you get all of these benefits:

- 2-Hour Fitness Consultation
- Access To OtherExercise Database
- Nutrition Program for Your Computer
- 13-Page Booklet on Flexibility Exercises
- Supplementation Advice and Resources
- 3 Months of Unlimited Telephone Support
- Discounted Follow-up Consultation

The price for the Fitness Consultation package is only $250, and you can be up and running with your training program literally within a matter of hours. Call today to set up a time to get started! 403-246-7386

What is the value in hiring a Personal Trainer, and why should I utilize The Executive Edge Personal Training instead of going to a local gym?

1. Commitment - Not only do you get a rock-solid commitment from The Executive Edge Personal Training, but just as important is the commitment that you make to YOURSELF. If you pay hard-earned money for something, your likelihood of making good use of that purchase increases dramatically. Don't wait another day to make a commitment to yourself and your future!

2. A full fitness consultation and exercise program - In order to know how to get where you are going, you have to have a realistic idea of where you are right now, as well as a detailed set of goals that you want to achieve from your personal training sessions. During your fitness consultation as well continually during your training, your personal trainer will evaluate your status, and set up and maintain your workout program for you. All you have to do is be willing to work hard!

3. The training itself - There are so many facets to health and fitness training, that it's hard to even put together a brief list of the highpoints. Look at the Fitness/Nutrition section of any bookstore or library and see how many books you find on nutrition, exercise, and health in general. The job of your personal trainer is teach you everything you need to know about nutrition, exercise, and a healthy lifestyle, while at the same time explaining away the bogus myths about miracle weight loss and exercise programs.

4. The equipment - Although you are encouraged to get your own fitness equipment to keep at home, if you do not want to spend the money, or don't have room for it at home, a home personal trainer will bring everything to you that you will need during that exercise session. This is especially helpful for people in the beginning who don't want to buy fitness equipment until they are able to see the benefit of it first hand.

5. Full-time access to your personal trainer - As you start to get involved in a more healthy lifestyle, you will come up with questions along the way, or need professional advice on various situations. As a veteran in the industry, your personal trainer either has all of the answers that you could possibly need, or knows where to find them. You will have an email address and a telephone number to reach your personal trainer as often as you need to so that you can stay on track with your fitness and personal goals.

6. Encouragement/Guidance/Motivation - Let's face it, if you had the motivation and/or knowledge to work out on your own, you would be doing it already, and wouldn't be reading this website right now. People need help, and there is no shame in seeking a competent professional when that times come. When your car is broken, you take it to a garage to get fixed. When you are sick, you go see the doctor. When you want to make positive health and fitness changes in your lifestyle that will literally last you forever, you see a fitness professional! It's that professional's job to make sure you receive timely encouragement, instruction, and motivation to keep you on track.

7. And finally, you get a one-on-one confidant to journey with you from where you are now, to where you want to be. A personal trainer should get to KNOW YOU - that's the "personal" part of the job description. How can a trainer help you attain your goals if he/she doesn't know about the motivating and de-motivating factors in your life? How can sessions be fun and exciting if your trainer doesn't stay in tune with your personality, or if they have no clue about you as a person? You are considering hiring a professional to walk with you on a journey that might last awhile, depending on your goals and your needs. Take advantage of having a skilled and PERSONAL companion on the way!

There are also group consultation rates available if you would like a Personal Trainer to come to your place of business or other gathering to discuss health and fitness options.

What if I just want to talk to a Personal Trainer about getting started, but don't know if I actually need to purchase a package of personal training sessions?

As many people aren't sure in the beginning about the many details that are involved in changing to a healthier lifestyle, The Executive Edge Personal Training now offers a telephone coaching service to help you get started. This is a great opportunity for a person or group of people to spend some time with a personal trainer to learn the basics of exercise, nutrition, and other aspects of the fitness lifestyle before deciding whether or not to purchase a package of personal training sessions. For some people, this is enough information to get them started down their path, and for some people, this is just the first step. Either way, having a fitness consultation allows you to make an informed decision about how to proceed with your health and fitness goals.

Why Should I utilize The Executive Edge Personal Training instead of going to a local gym and hiring one of their trainers?
Back to Top

This is a very reasonable question to ask, and there are many ways that The Executive Edge Personal Training far outweighs the service that you will get at most fitness facilities. In addition to the items listed above, the following services further show the value of working with a personal trainer who doesn't work for a gym:

No Gym Memberships - If you have no interest in working out at a local facility, why should you have to pay for a gym membership, and go there in order to get in shape?
No Sales Quotas -The Executive Edge Personal Training is founded on the concept of helping people attain their fitness and lifestyle goals, NOT on hitting a certain sales figure each month. Did you know that almost every gym personal trainer has a certain sales quota to reach each month, or they will get FIRED??
No Canceled Training Sessions - Gym trainers are constantly being called away from their scheduled training sessions for meetings and club activities, usually at the last minute. Any schedule deviations through The Executive Edge Personal Training will be rare, and when they do happen, plenty of notice will be given so you can adjust your schedule, and set up a replacement time for your training session.
No Driving Time - Since your trainer will be coming to your home or community workout area, you do not need to drive to the gym, stow your gear in a locker, workout, and then drive home. That alone will save you 45 to 60 minutes every single day!
Unlimited Correspondence - When you train with The Executive Edge Personal Training, you are both welcome and encouraged to contact our staff as many times as needed to keep you on track with your fitness goals. Try getting that type of time and attention from most gym trainers, and you will quickly see the value in working with an organization that cares about YOUR needs.
Nutritional Counseling - There are as many facets to a nutrition program as there are training principles that you should stick to during your goal attainment. You need a trainer who is both knowledgeable about your nutritional needs, as well as available to work with you throughout your training program to keep you on track.
Group Personal Training Discount - You may or may not be able to engage in Group Personal Training in most gyms. However, even if you are able to do so, you will NOT get a discount for it.The Executive Edge Personal Training gives you 43% off of your training program if you workout with a partner or a group of Community service.
Money Back Guarantee -The Executive Edge Personal Training services in the Calgary, AB area are backed by an iron clad Money Back Guarantee. If you don't get results, you don't have to pay for our services! Try getting guaranteed results or your money back from a gym!
10% Discount on Training Packages - As mentioned above, you are encouraged to get some basic equipment to keep at home that will help you to stay on track with your fitness goals. If you purchase that equipment through our website, you will receive an additional 10% off of your training sessions.
