Frequently Asked Questions
What makes you different from other personal trainers?
In addition to being personal trainers, our coaches are Doctors of Physical Therapy. They are skilled in the diagnosis, treatment, and long-term management of musculoskeletal conditions. They will be able to provide you with personal training that is both effective and safe, no matter if you’re dealing with a current injury or have a complex injury history. Likewise, if you’d prefer to seek treatment for your musculoskeletal condition, they are qualified to provide you with necessary physical therapy services.
Why should I hire a personal trainer?
Hiring a personal trainer might seem like something that’s only accessible to the rich and famous, but it’s not! There are many good reasons to hire a personal trainer:
Get a customized training plan:
- For most gym-goers, figuring out which exercises to do and where to start can be the most intimidating part of going to the gym. Working with a trainer can take the guesswork out of it. Our trainers will work with you to construct a plan that’s tailored to your needs.
Form checks:
- Personal trainers know how to properly perform exercises based on the desired training adaptation. They can assist you with your exercise technique. When performing exercise, “good form” exists on a continuum. There is often a wide range of what we’d consider “good form”, as every person’s anthropometry is different. Your trainer will be able to help you find a technique that works for you. With practice, you will be able to feel more comfortable working out on your own.
Accountability:
- Knowing that someone is waiting for you at the gym and that you are paying for their time can be a great motivator to get to the gym for your workout. Your personal trainer can also help to make sure you stay on track during your sessions so that you get the most out of your time spent at the gym.
Try new exercises:
- Tired of doing the same exercises over and over? A personal trainer can introduce you to new exercises and equipment to keep things fresh as you crush your goals.
Learn about the human body:
- Your Iron Rx coaches are knowledgeable across multiple disciplines including strength and conditioning, health and wellness, physical therapy, and the human body. If they are unable to answer your questions, they will be able to direct you where to look.
Will my exercise program be personalized?
Yes. During your free consultation, your coach will ask about your training history, previous injuries, and goals. You will then work together to establish a training program that is specific to your individual needs. During your first few sessions, you and your coach will implement the program in a collaborative manner that accounts for your individual responses. Your performance during these initial sessions will serve as your baseline assessment.
How many personal training sessions should I do each week?
This depends on multiple factors, such as your personality, goals, financial situation, and self-efficacy with regards to training. Some clients enjoy the consistent accountability of working out in person. Others may only need a session or two to establish a solid program and then prefer to work out on their own time. We’ve had clients come in anywhere from 1-5 times per week. Most of our clients average 2-3 sessions per week. Training in person allows us to provide real time feedback regarding your training technique and intensity. We can also adjust your program on the spot if needed.
For Athletes:
- In an ideal scenario, we’d recommend 4-5 sessions per week for athletes when out of season. For in season training, we’d recommend 1-3 sessions depending on your sport and individual needs.
How do you stay up to date with the latest science?
Your Iron Rx coaches are proud members of the Mass Research Review. Additionally, our coaches must complete 30 hours of continuing education bi-annually in order to maintain their licenses as Doctors of Physical Therapy.
When are you available for in-person training sessions?
Our hours vary by coach. We are currently available 6am-7pm Monday – Thursday, 6am-5pm on Fridays and 8am-3pm on Saturdays. You’ll be able to see your coach’s availability when scheduling your session(s) on their online calendar. Weekends and early morning slots may also be available upon request.
