Personal Trainer San Diego - Body Design by Ray

Can I workout with a partner and how much would that cost?
I work with clients on an individual basis only. The exclusive attention to detail is the differentiating factor between the results realized using my service and that of other trainers. Tandem or group workouts are less specific, less productive, generic training programs.

The results your clients achieve are amazing. To get results like that would I have to train with you 4 days per week?
No. Many of my clients achieved their results by training with me 2 days per week, using either 30 or 45 minute workouts. The results are due to the specificity and efficacy of my programs. In most cases 2 sessions per week will suffice, more is not always better if you do it right! All this can be discussed at the consultation. Let me know if you want to proceed by scheduling a consultation and I'll send some preliminary paperwork to fill out.

Can I get the results seen on your website by strength training and aerobic exercise alone?
No. My clients experience outstanding results because they work hard, and diligently follow their individualized nutrition plan at least 70% of the time. The nutrition plan I give you is a powerful part of your program and essential for optimal results!

What method do you use to measure body composition, and how accurate is it?
I've used the Jackson Pollock 3 site fat caliper method for many years. If performed correctly it is accurate to within + - 1%. Over the years several clients have wanted to confirm the accuracy of the Jackson Pollock test by having the hydrostatic test done on the same day (Hydrostatic testing is the current gold standard for measuring body composition). The difference in the results has never varied more the 0.5%.

I've been working out 2 hours per day ( 2 hours of weight training, and 45 minutes of cardio every day), 6 days a week for the past 9 months. I made substantial progress in the first 3 months but since then I haven't improved much. Any suggestions?
For starters you're obviously overtraining, consider reducing the volume and frequency of your workouts and make sure all aspects of your routine are integrated correctly. The five mistakes people make with their training program are; incorrect program design, overtraining, poor technique, inconsistancy,and inability adhering to a balanced diet.

Can you expect substantial results training with you 1 day per week?
Yes. Provided you use the program I design for you and train on your own one or two additional days per week. One session with me per week will give you the ongoing dietary support and motivation you need to substantially boost your results.
