Form, safety and results are our focus at Ultimate Results. Training with a certified personal trainer will maximize your benefits and will eliminate the possibility of sustaining injuries.

There are countless benefits to utilizing a personal training regimen. First and foremost are the obvious benefits to the muscles, bones, joints, as well as the noticeable increase in cellular energy, reduction of body fat, and in increase metabolic rate and stamina. Strength training triggers the pituitary gland in the brain to secrete natural human growth hormone (HGH). Because of this, strength training not only keeps your body strong and resilient, but it also is the key ingredient to staying young. As we age, the flow of HGH naturally slows down. Through exercise, we are able to dictate how the body ages, particularly how we look and feel. Younger individuals are usually happier than sedentary middle age and seniors. On the other hand, seniors who are fit are usually happier and healthier than people half their age.

A very recent study 2006 study by Arthur Kramer and Amy Arnsten of Yale Universityamong seniors found that lifting weights two to three times a week for six months made subjects stronger and essentially reversed phases of the aging process at the cellular, and even the genetic level. Namely, the genes responsible for creating key brain growth factors (VEGF, FGF-2, and IGF-1) acted as if they were thirty years old, not sixty-five. Brain research shows that exercising has a direct effect on mood and levels of anxiety.

According to Dr. John J. Ratey of Harvard University:

“Most of the brain research on resistance training mood and anxiety. In one study from Boston University dating back ten years, researchers put a group of older adults on a twelve-week strength-training program (three sessions a week) and measured various aspects of psychological and cognitive function.

Ultimate Results has been a blessing to me in many ways. Before I joined Ultimate Results, I had a terrible eating habit, and I never worked out. In fact, I viewed the gym as my enemy; it was boring to run on the treadmill and I hated doing crunches because it hurt my neck. My other frustration was that I didn't see any results. However I was very conscious that I was overweight and unhealthy. I wanted to work out because I knew I should be healthier and thin. I made up excuses like, "I don't have the time today, but I'll do it tomorrow." That was the excuse I used for years, but one day something changed. On my way to work I would drive past Ultimate Results and think to myself "maybe I should check it out". A few weeks later, I walked in and was greeted by warm, inviting, understanding individuals (Ultimate Results Team) who appeared genuinely interested in my goals of becoming healthy and losing weight. My trainer and I started the journey that I had struggled with for many long years. Working with my trainer has been a continuous positive experience; mentally, emotionally and physically. Her role is not limited to a trainer because she is a role-model, a teacher and a friend. She has a keen gift of knowing how much to push me. Her constant motivation and optimism keeps me focused when I have a hard time with my overall program. As a result, in two and a half months I lost 22 pounds and 16.5 inches! I never thought in a million years that I'd actually feel healthier, stronger and more energetic, and I owe this success to the Ultimate Results team for guiding me on this challenging journey that I continue to conquer!
