What Is Personal Training?

Personal training is a fully customized approach to fitness. Unlike generic workout plans, our programs are tailored to your individual needs, goals, and preferences. It’s not about following a one-size-fits-all routine—it’s about creating a program that works for your body and your lifestyle. 

With Wholistic Approach, personal training means:

  • A Customized Plan: Workouts designed specifically for your goals, fitness level, equipment and availability.

  • Expert Guidance: Certified trainers who ensure that your program is evidence-based, safe, and effective.

  • Accountability and Motivation: Regular check-ins and ongoing support to keep you on track.

  • Movement Assessments: Pre-program movement assessments and ongoing progress tracking to measure your results and show your before-and-after progress.

Why Choose Personal Training with Wholistic Approach?

There are countless fitness coaches out there, but not all provide the same level of personalization and support. At Wholistic Approach, we go beyond generic programs to create a training experience tailored to you. Here’s what sets us apart:

1. Tailored Programs for Real Results

We believe that your fitness plan should be as unique as you are. That’s why every program is customized based on your fitness and injury history, work life, stage of life, and overall health. Whether you want to gain confidence, build muscle, or improve your well-being, we’ll create a program tailored to your needs.

2. Evidence-Based Training

At Wholistic Approach, we rely on proven methods backed by science. You can trust that every exercise and recommendation is designed to deliver results without risking injury or burnout.

3. Certified and Experienced Trainers

Our trainers bring more than just certifications—they have the education, experience, and passion to guide you toward lasting results.

Madi, our lead personal trainer with a Diploma in Kinesiology (NASM-CPT, KIN. Diploma), blends science-based training with her background as an athlete to help you move better, feel stronger, and achieve your goals.

Sam, a Certified Athletic Therapist (BAET, NSCA CSCS, NASM CNC, YES Supply Mindset Coach), combines strength training with mindset coaching to help you build confidence and consistency in your fitness journey.

At Wholistic Approach, you’re not just getting a workout—you’re getting expert guidance tailored to your stage of life, fitness level, and long-term success.

4. Goal-Oriented Approach

Your success is our priority. We’ll help you set clear, achievable goals and create a roadmap to reach them. Every step of the way, we’ll celebrate your progress and adjust your plan to keep you moving forward.

I cannot recommend Sam enough as a coach for health and fitness goals. From our very first session, Sam actively listened to my concerns and challenges, guiding me with insightful questions that helped me uncover the obstacles hindering my progress. Her approachability and friendliness made me feel comfortable opening up about my struggles. Thanks to Sam’s guidance, I've made significant strides towards achieving my fitness goals and feel more empowered than ever before.

How Our Personal Training Works

Our personal training program is designed to make fitness accessible, enjoyable, and effective. Here’s how we work with you to create a program that fits your life:

  • How we deliver your program, including 24/7 access to our app, video and written exercise instructions, and ongoing support to keep you on track.

Step 2: Initial Assessment and Goal Setting

Once we understand your goals, we’ll conduct an initial assessment to evaluate your:

  • Strength and endurance.

  • Mobility and flexibility.

  • Movement patterns and any areas of concern.

Based on this assessment, we’ll create a plan that’s safe, effective, and tailored to your needs.

Step 3: Personalized Training Program

Your program will include:

  • Workouts designed for your fitness level and goals.

  • Detailed instructions and video demonstrations to ensure proper form.

  • Progressions to keep your workouts challenging and rewarding.
