At home training

This involves me coming to your home or office for a training session, usually 45-75 minutes in length. This can be 1-5 times per week. The advantage of this type of training is that it saves you travel time and eliminates many of the excuses for not working out. I am very creative so there is not a need to have a lot of equipment. I can work with just about anything to create a workout and I can set up a very simple workout space if we need to. This is the form that has the highest rate of success and longevity. If you so desire, these can also be followed with a massage therapy session in your own home!

Gym training

This involves meeting at a gym and working out, usually for one hour sessions. These are most often done 1-5 times per week. Misty is a personal trainer in Houston.

Phone and internet training

This is a great idea for travelers or people who live out of town. I will email a prescribed workout for you. Depending on the agreement, 1-5 of these prescribed workouts would be prepared and sent to you each week. You will then be expected to do them yourself and email me when each is completed. Phone support will be given as well, which is useful especially at the beginning while you are learning the routines. I will often include a photo of a pose etc. to help you learn the proper form. This is sort of like a "correspondence course" of personal training but can be really helpful for business travellers or if you live in a remote location. I can make these workouts for you to use in the home, hotel room, or a gym.
