The Exercise Coach - Sarasota

Good news! We’re Back! While we are saddened by the tragic effects of COVID-19 we are as energized as ever to return to what we do best.. help people maximize the life they have been given through safe, effective, and time-efficient personal training. As our current clients know, hygiene has always been a core value in our small, semi-private studio. For this reason, our clients trust us even at this time for personalized strength training.. and we couldn’t be more honored! So to all our returning clients, THANK YOU for trusting in us and know that we will not let you down! It’s great to see so many of you on the schedule and we can’t wait to re-join you on your personal wellness journey. For those who don’t know, we at The Exercise Coach® are passionate about delivering safe, effective and time efficient, science-backed personal training. Our clients enjoy the results they get from 20-minute, customized strength training, in a small, clean, private setting. Also important to note, we are not a gym. All our services are appointment-based and most of the time there is no more than 2-4 people present, a coach or two and an equal number of clients. As a result of already having a small studio with few clients scheduled at the same time and our commitment to keeping our studio immaculate, we have been able to adapt easily to federal, state, and county guidelines such as but not limited to: • Social/physical distancing. • No more than 10 people in our studio • Semi-private personal training session with a coach to client ratio of no more than 1:2 • Strict sanitation policies including disinfecting touch points after each session • Masks worn by all staff members, Masks and gloves are optional for members • Hand-washing or hand-sanitizing by each member upon entry • Daily health questionaire for members upon check-in, employee temperature checks • Stylus pens used on all touch screens In addition, we have partnered with MicroShield 360® for enhanced germ protection. MicroShield 360® is a preventive surface technology that kills bacteria and viruses on contact and is applied to every touch point in the studio from door handles to bathrooms to every part of equipment that is touched by a coach or client. It’s a great product and proven to constantly reduce germs by >99% for a full year after application. It is also non-toxic, EPA and FDA certified, and safe even for food contact surfaces. Now, probably more so than at any point in recent times, building up your immune system is absolutely critical, and that is one of many benefits to our strength and nutrition focused approach. Take a little bit of your time and come see what we are all about. We are offering 2-free sessions and scheduling first sessions now!

"The Exercise Coach is a fast, effective way to exercise regularly that does NOT take up hours of your week. If you're like me, and you find walking into a large gym a bit overwhelming, this is your gym. The trainers are fantastic. Each one unique and bringing something different to the work out. And each one fun and personable. Group classes are great as well because they are very small and thus still allow for personal attention. This is my quick 20 minute break from the rest of the world. And afterwards, no matter how my day went, I accomplished something because I accomplished this. It's a realistic fitness routine for anyone who prefers things to be small and simple yet effective.Twenty minutes....in and out and on my way. And I always feel better when I leave than when I came in." -Shawnae B., Westchase, FL #TestimonialTuesday

"I have always worked out hard, but due to a knee injury I had to find a workout that was kinder to my body. I stumbled upon The Exercise Coach and at first I was skeptical that two 20 minute workouts a week would be enough to give me the results I wanted. After 3 months, I was stronger with much better muscle definition. My Coach Jim, took the time to understand my fitness goals so that the workout program fits my unique needs. He also ensures my workouts are challenging, with lots of motivational coaching, encouragement, and positive reinforcement. The data-driven machines track my progress and show graphs of past performance. The Exercise Coach also has a machine that scans your body and tracks your weight, body fat, and lean mass so that you can stay on target. The Metabolic Comeback Nutrition Challenge ensures you are eating a balanced healthy diet to compliment the workouts. All in all, the facility is super clean, the coaches are wonderful, and I feel great!" - Gail N., North Naples, FL #TestimonialTuesday

"I love my trainers at The Exercise Coach. They are very supportive and always push me to do more than I think I can do. They take a personal interest in me. The machines are great. I never have to worry if I'm using too much or too little weight, because the resistance technology does it for me. The 20 min workouts 2 x a week fit perfectly into my schedule, and when I'm done I still feel like I did when I spent an hour at a regular gym. The small studios and limited number of clients during each session are a bonus because I'm not self conscious that I'm being watched or judged. The entire Exercise Coach team offers additional ways to better your health like with their Metabolic Comeback Challenge. In just 2 months I've gotten stronger, lost inches, and started focusing on my nutrition. I feel better and have more energy than I've had in 14 years." - Tara B., Fishers, IN #TestimonialTuesday

"Wow – how wonderful to be back at The Exercise Coach and be able to participate in another Metabolic Comeback Challenge! My body and mind feel so much better being able to work out consistently with great routines and coaches. I feel so much better and do not feel frumpy anymore. The weight has come off and my body feels stronger. They have given me knowledge to continue to eat healthy and the importance of adding some kind of exercise to your daily routine. When I am not able to be here I know I can go on a walk confidently and keep the weight off. I do not have the pain in my hips or knees anymore. Thank you to The Exercise Coach for being here and helping me be a better, healthier me!" - Kathy J., Eden Prairie, MN #TestimonialTuesday

"I have been a member of The Exercise Coach for the last 3 months and I can already see the difference in my body. I was an avid boot camper, 5 days a week workout. Now I only have to workout twice a week for 20-minutes. I am seeing great results in less time. Since I started with The Exercise Coach and changed my eating habits, I no longer need blood pressure medicine. I can also see the fat melting off my thighs. I feel stronger. I am working out smarter, without worrying about any injuries. The computerized machines are challenging. I love that they provide immediate comparison feedback. I also enjoy that the machines cater specifically to me and create custom workouts for my body. If you want an effective workout in the least amount of time, visit The Exercise Coach. It is worth the investment in you. Try it out. The coaches are extremely helpful, knowledgeable, friendly and nice. The atmosphere is wonderful and exceptionally clean." - Tanya W., Cary, NC #TestimonialTuesday

The Myth of Spot Reduction is believing you can work muscles in a certain area of the body to reduce the body fat in that area. This is like saying that you can take a bucket, walk up to an inground swimming pool, and scoop water only out of the deep end. It doesn't work that way. You can empty the pool by draining the water, but the shallow end will be emptied before the deep end. In this episode, learn the "First On, Last Off" principal when it comes to body shape, and how the combination of whole-effort exercise + whole-food nutrition approach will lead to not only a healthy rebuilding of your body from the inside out, but a dramatic improvement to your overall health and disease risk.
