M CO S. | WW W.SCULPT MO VE S. CO WORKING WITH WOMEN My specialty is small group, personalized trainings for women. I love teaching group fitness and wanted to try individualizing each person’s workout. Working at a local gym in Marble Falls, Texas, I created SCULPTmoves workout programs for multi-level fitness. After working with female clients, I learned they would prefer to work out in their own spaces without the distractions of men or a large facility, so I opened the SCULPTmoves Fitness Studio Small Group Training for Women in November 2006. I look for those ladies who have never been in a gym or exercise program that might be afraid to take that step forward, and I want to challenge myself to make a difference in their lifestyles. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to get them to roll their sleeves up and look at their arms in the mirror, recognizing their bodies’ muscles. 34 MARCH2008 · WWW.FIT-PRO.COM M CHERYL’S TYPE OF TRAINING I am a big believer in circuit interval training on top on strength training. I have developed multi-level visual exercise charts for each client. After every two strength moves, I intersperse with one- to twominute circuit moves, challenging the clients with balance, coordination, punching, kicking and ball-tossing moves. I also use music, which is a big motivator, and it makes a big difference. ADVICE FOR NEW TRAINERS Create and establish credibility. Start by building your foundation of knowledge, and slowly grow from there. Climb the ladder of success, learning the tricks of trade, and stay on top of the latest research and up-to-date trends. Present yourself as highly motivated, positive and ready to take on anyone that comes your way. Continue to have a hard work ethic, staying focused on your career, training and moving your mind forward with all possibilities in reach. Live your dream and not someone else’s! HER THOUGHTS AND GOALS I will continue to build my clientele and create a sequence of SCULPTmoves fitness strength training programs and circuit moves. In the next five years, I plan to work with a team of professionals to help take my business to the next level and present SCULPTmoves fitness nationwide. I hope to franchise my business and offer my fitness programs in book, video and digital format along with creating a more interactive website. I want to be remembered for dedicating a lifetime to making all ages smile. I work hard to achieve success in life, motivating, educating and making a difference in people’s lives. Good luck to all! http://www.sculptmoves.com http://WWW.FIT-PRO.COM
