Naturally Intense Personal Trainer Erika Citrin

While my coach and I may miss Leg Days full of monstrously heavy leg press sets, I’m glad to live with the confidence that my legs are as strong as ever despite not having endless and expansive gym space and equipment at our disposal.

It’s about doing all that you can with what you have and not focusing on what you don’t.

Dumbbells, barbells, machines, or even just bodyweight exercises can all bring you far with impressive results. So train hard and stay consistent. You got this!

To all the too soon ending Sunday nights and too soon starting Monday mornings.

Goodnight New York.

Thank you Egypt 🇪🇬

The person makes the workout, not the machines. No matter what situation you’re in there is always a way.

Back online here and looking forward to see how everyone is doing! My cover currently shows my posing routine that qualified me to compete at World Natural Bodybuilding Federation (WNBF)'s World's competition last November!

Why a personal trainer instead of a group class? (Part Two)

I already mentioned that invaluable individual attention but the other problem with group class is that as people, we tend to focus less and less on ourselves and more on what are neighbors are doing. (I can vouch for this one as a dancer, it has taken me many years to learn how to focus only on me in classes, and is still an imperfect practice to this day!) Let's face it, human nature makes us competitive!

The problem with this outward attention is that we stop listening to our bodies and the chance of injury increases without the individual assurance that someone is watching us to ensure injury prevention!

A trainer's attention the NUMBER ONE thing that can ensure your safety with a special attention to your needs. (This also ensure better and more personalized training routines and results for YOU!)

Why a personal trainer instead of a group class? (Part One)

My number one answer to this question is that there is nothing more valuable than one on one time with a professional who'll know more about your body than you do and care for it just as much as you! Just as you would hire a personal tutor for your child if they're struggling in school, think of your body as your everyday homework. You have to listen to it, feed it, and take care of it but you don't always know how! Personal trainers are the school teachers for your happiness and healthiness! You will never get the same attention in a group class as you would in a private session!
