What's Available

My hope for this blog listing is that I will be able to help out individuals who are seeking to create a healthier life style for themselves. Recognizing that different individuals have different means available to them to seek results, I am making options available while striving to maintain a level of fairness to those I will be working with as well as myself.

Option 1: My blog weekly workout. Each week I will post a new workout, incorporating strength training moves to benefit all parts of the body. I will also frequently be posting general nutritional and exercise information.

Option 2: Online personal instruction. For individuals who are self-motivated but need more specific and tailored instruction based on their life style or lack of ability to achieve goals in the past, I offer personal instruction in which I will be able to tailor a program to individual needs. Through this program I will offer some personal health and wellness tests to help me evaluate your fitness level, design flexibility, cardio, and strength training programs, and offer bi-weekly advice and check-ups on how your program is working for you, plus availability to be reached at any time for questions or concerns via email. This option is available for only $30/mo.

Option 3: In-home personal training. This option is best for individuals seeking to be their personal best or for individuals who lack motivation on their own. As I am located in Springville, UT, this option is unfortunately not available for everyone. For those near the Utah county area I will travel to your home anywhere from 1-3 times weekly to give you personal training from the comfort of your own home without worrying about the time it takes to pack up and go to a gym. Many people think that training from home requires expensive equipment, but I can teach you how to do it affordably with things that many people already have available to them. In addition, this option provides the benefits of having on-site CPR and first aid care, as well as the benefits of having a trained profession guide you through your exercises to achieve maximm results from each move. While many personal trainers ask up to $75/hr to train you from your home, I ask only $30/hr (can be an additional charge for longer travel times) in order to help cover travel expenses as well as upkeep and maintenance of any equipment I may bring along with me to train you.

***Before working on a one on one basis with me, I would like to either meet or talk via email or phone with any individuals wishing to train under me. This is in order to ensure that as a trainer and client we are a good fit and you will be able to completely achieve your goals, and to ensure that it will be physically safe to begin a training program at that time.

About Me

My name is Alisha Smith and I am an ACE certified personal trainer. I received my certification in December of 2008 and have since been training individuals with goals in weight loss, pregnancy fitness, post-pregnancy weight loss, increased fitness levels, and fitness in those with special considerations such as arthritis, asthma and amputation. I am also health care provider level CPR certified with first aid training.

I recognize that each individual has differing circumstances in their daily lives and my goal is to help people better accomplish their daily goals and live their lives in a way that is better for their health and over all wellness, with long term benefits in mind. I hope to help people achieve better levels of health through realistically setting short and long term goals in nutrition, exercise, and mental health.

I focus on teaching people how to eat according to their daily activity level and exercise based on a realistic daily time allotment and schedule. Recognizing mental health is achieved in different ways for many, I strive to help people find and maintain it through use of exercise as an effective stress release and physical outlet based on what you personally find an enjoyable form of physical activity.
