To experience the Body Firm difference, you need to understand the passion and desire our trainers bring to the studio in each and every session. Body Firm has been in Los Gatos for over 12 years, and through this time has always maintained the highest level of customer service. As the owner, I commit to you that you will receive exceptional training, reliability, results and education…all while having fun! You see, I too, am a client. For most of my life I struggled with my weight and nutrition. Through years of constant battling with my weight, I turned a corner when I finally understood what it takes to drop body fat and stay on a healthy nutritional track for life…without compromising my lifestyle. I gave up a career in the corporate field and dedicated my life to helping others turn their corner. With the help and direction of Body Firm trainers, not only have I grown, but hundreds of clients have achieved their own personal fitness goals.

Body Firm is a private personal training studio in beautiful downtown Los Gatos. We’re surrounded by nature’s playground, making training (indoors as well as outdoors) an option any day. If you’ve tried the larger health clubs and weren’t successful at achieving your goals, you are not alone. Nearly 80% of club members do not use their fitness facility on a consistent basis. Having an experienced trainer who will hold you accountable, inspire you to new fitness levels and help you grow stronger will change the way you view exercising forever! Our programs are always at the cutting edge in the fitness industry and our diverse trainers are experienced in specialties everywhere from post rehabilitation to weight loss to athletic conditioning. Our trainers hold degrees in fitness and wellness related fields, as well as nationally certified credentials. We are qualified to train all ages and make sure every program includes the most important ingredients…feeing great and improving your quality of life.

Try something new and change your life forever…I did!

Dear Linda, Samantha and Tammy,

I am so glad you wrote, Linda, because I wanted you to know that I am feeling quite full in so many ways from our day together yesterday. I learned so much about nutrition, in a direct, helpful and inspiring way from Tammy. I also found Tammy's exercise instruction quite practical and fun. She is an excellent communicator.

The packet of information that you put together, Linda, is packed with helpful tips, and your organizational skills made the event quite smooth and enjoyable.

Samantha's yoga and guided meditation were deeply inspired. I had only had one class before from Samantha about 5 years ago, and remembered that I had thought highly of her teaching skills at the time. Now I am quite full and feel that I gained even more than I had hoped from the day at Big Basin Winery and Yoga Shala. Samantha and Bradley's house and property were simply the sweetest frosting possible on the "spiritual cake". What a feast we had. I am honored and humbled to have been included into your lives in this way.

Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for taking the time and the creative energy to put this together. I feel blessed and "in the flow" for having the experience!

With love and best wishes for a joyful and healthy 2008!

Sally "I am here" Wortman

Body Firm has also started a 2nd company, called Outdoor Fitness Adventures. These are wellness retreats designed for corporations, families, singles and any group in between. We target one-of –a- kind destination locations wherein the group can experience several fun and exciting activities during the course of a week or weekend. Each trip is customized to the fitness and nutritional needs of that group The adventure team leaders work with local chefs to design healthy meals for each retreat, and offer seminars to motivate the group on living a healthier and more active life.

At Body Firm, customer service and results are our main priorities. Although the studio is located in the heart of town, we’re inside a pristine courtyard, allowing for a private, comfortable, yet motivating atmosphere.

Our professionals continually strive to keep at the forefront of their profession, taking several continuing education courses each year. Additionally, Body Firm offers free seminars monthly to all, with topics such as” training for your first triathlon” to “how to stay lean while eating on the go”. We feel it’s just as important to educate our clients as it is to motivate them.

Initial Evaluation:
This is an extremely important factor towards your workout program. Your PFT will go through a detailed evaluation of your fitness level in order to create the foundation of your workout program. Depending on your needs, this evaluation will include postural analysis, measurements, body fat testing, cardiovascular and strength assessments and in some cases neuromuscular testing and assessment.

One-on-One training, full hour:
Body Firm’s personal fitness trainers have anywhere from 6 to 25 years of experience in the training and fitness world. Our trainers have credentials from the highest regarded certification companies in the Nation and most of our trainers have either a doctorate, masters or bachelors degree in a sports related field. You will be matched with one of Body Firm’s amazing trainers wherein you will train for a full hour. . Their attention, focus and program will be tailor made to your specification so that you WILL reach your goal!

Buddy training:
Not only will you be able to train with one of Body Firm’s exceptional trainers, you can be equally motivated by training with a friend, significant other or simply someone who has similar goals as you! The value in this fun hour is you will not only achieve your goals, but you can do so at a reduced price. This option is perfect for someone who wants full hour training on a budget!

One-on-One training, half-hour:
Similar to the full hour workout, you will be matched with a trainer to best help you achieve your fitness goals; however this will be done in a reduced amount of time. Your workouts will be intense and focused; created to obtain an “express-type” workout just for you. This program is best suited for the client who has high expectations with limited time.

Nutritional evaluation and consultation:
If you are you a “professional” dieter, or simply do not understand how you can workout so hard, yet not seem to lose those last 10 pounds, this plan will help you succeed. Using a 7-day dietary recall, Body Firm will analyze your diet to help you better understand what foods may be sabotaging your efforts to get on a permanent weight loss program. Once the analysis is completed, Tammy, our nutritionist, will spend an hour and ½ going over your caloric intake, balance of fats, carbs and proteins and create weight loss strategies to help you finally succeed! You’ll walk away with the knowledge and confidence to live a healthy life and achieve your weight loss (or gain) goals once and for all!

Tailor-Made menu planning:
After the nutritional assessment is completed, Tammy will suggest and create a 2-week menu for you. This will include the necessary calories, fats, carbs, proteins, fiber and sodium as well as vitamins and minerals specific to YOUR goals and needs. A detailed report will be given indicating exactly what to eat for Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for two weeks at a time. You will also be given a grocery list to make your shopping easy! In addition, you will meet with Tammy once every two weeks to go over progress, challenges and to create new menus. Depending on your objective, you’ll be supplied with recipes and will be weighed, measured and have your body fat tested.
