THE ULTIMATE
TRAINING SYSTEM
TO REACH YOUR GOALS

Think of a personal trainer as a coach pumping up your favorite sports team, but just for you! Having a private trainer come to your home or office is the best way for your coach to guide you into achieving the results you dream of.

Part physical trainer, and part motivational coach, Elizabeth puts all her energy and focus into JUST YOU. Each session starts with a check in where you share your recent victories and challenges, then follows up with a quick look at optimizing your nutrition before diving right into your exercise program of the day.

Before you know it, the session is over and you’re discussing your plan for the next few days on our training App, where coach Elizabeth will continue to track your progress throughout the week.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN HIRING A PERSONAL TRAINER

Full Health & Fitness Assessment

Initial meeting with a Certified Personal Trainer to discuss your goals and experience with fitness in general

Goal Setting

Clarification of your goals whether you want to lose 15 pounds, gain muscle mass, muscle definition, improve flexibility, or simply feel and look good, etc.

Sound Strategy

Recommendations on where to start and implementation of incremental changes that will get you where you want to be

Workout Program & Accountability App

A new custom designed program every 3-5 weeks to keep you challenged and achieve the desired transformation

THE RIGHT PROGRAM FOR YOU

Have you been injured recently? Does your doctor want you to exercise to normalize certain health markers (insulin, blood pressure, cholesterol, heart rate, etc.)? How much time do you have to dedicate to your program? What has (and hasn’t!) worked for you in the past?

Hiring a personal trainer means getting a custom designed program to keep you challenged and achieve the desired transformation.

Every 3-5 weeks, your coach modifies your program in order to maximize progression as your body adapts and gets stronger/leaner.

First, we’ll start with a 90-minute comprehensive assessment of your health and fitness during which Coach Elizabeth will discuss your goals, training background, injuries and health history. Exercise prescription needed from your physician or physical therapist will be determined during your assessment.

A TRAINER WHO REALLY GETS YOU

Take advice from the trainer who wasn’t fit all her life, who struggled with her self-esteem, chronic health issues and bad habits fueled by negative thinking and self-blaming patterns.

Coach Elizabeth was able to transform her life over the course of one year and never looked back, getting fitter and fitter each year ever since.

Her goal is to give you the tools you need to make the necessary changes in your life stick. [More on Marina coach Elizabeth’s weight loss and health journey here]

1

Make the Commitment

If you choose to work with us, know that you will become the type of disciplined person who seamlessly incorporates healthy habits into their life… over time. We take pride in not selling short term goals and challenges that lead to yo-yo patterns of weight gain and weight loss. Consistent efforts over an extended period of time is how you’ll go the distance.

2

Schedule Your Process

Request your 90-min comprehensive assessment with your coach this week. One way to follow through with your commitment is to schedule it under the form of recurring appointments. Personal training on Mondays, Lunch walk on Tuesdays, Group Class on Wednesday, etc. You must be proactive with (and protective of) your schedule and how you spend your precious time.

3

Safeguard Your Success

You know better than anyone else when, where and why you’re likely to get off track. We take those triggers and events into consideration from the get-go so you will stay committed. Your personal trainer is your #1 accountability partner who will treat you with respect in a consistent and caring manner to see you succeed.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

“The yoga classes (well all the other classes too) are great! Allison and Angel have great teaching styles and I enjoy the use of aromatherapy and therapeutic adjustments during in person sessions. In light of the pandemic, classes have been made available online and they are both great at using their voices to guide you through flows when your have can’t necessarily be on the computer screen to feel the flow. The class times vary enough that I am able to fit 2-4 yoga sessions into my schedule each week!”

I started taking Allison’s yoga classes (Restorative Yoga on Mondays and Yoga Flow on Wednesdays) a few weeks ago and they have been seriously so amazing! I’m definitely a beginner when it comes to yoga, so I was nervous going into the classes. But Allison does a great job at walking you through the poses and details what to do so clearly that I don’t even have to look up/check to see what she’s doing! She also does a great job at offering modifications for all poses for people with injuries or who want an easier option. It’s been four weeks and I already feel more flexible, more strong, more present in my body. Every class is different, challenging, and rewarding. I come out of each one more confident in myself (body, mind, and soul)! Monterey Bay Moves is the best and I highly recommend attending their classes!!

Clare M.

Allison’s yoga classes are amazing, as well! Each yoga class is a wonderful journey of harmony and peace!

Martha Price

I started taking Allison’s yoga class to add as a part of my routine during quarantine, and it’s made such an impact in my life! I have not practiced in a few years and for the first time in many years, I feel present in my own body. It’s a 55-minute flow that surprisingly gives you quite the workout! It’s tough, but good and much needed. They have you in poses that are not your usual chill yoga poses, but such interesting poses myself and my roommate have not done before that make you stretch and tone parts of your body you were unaware of. I’m also practically falling asleep by the end because it’s so peaceful. I LOVE IT! I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday!!! My body is thankful.

T.H.

With Monterey Bay Moves’ classes, I went down 2 waist sizes, lost weight, planks feel like rest time now, I am able to perform a correct push up on my toes and I hike uphill without needing to stop. Elizabeth is an amazing instructor and makes me feel very comfortable, motivated, and capable of achieving my goals. I love the variety of the workouts, the small class sizes, and the feedback on form/the right way to do the exercises.

Josie Mason Sova

I joined the group classes to prevent back injury and increase my abdominal/core strength. At first, I thought the MetaFit class was very difficult, but that was because I hadn’t exercised in so long. Coach Elizabeth is encouraging and provides individual tips for optimal body positioning along with the group instructions. Explanations about the flow of the training are helpful for motivation and pacing. Now I am more aware of my posture and feel that my core has improved.

Cher Appel

It’s so cool to enjoy and look forward to working out with the app, even when traveling, when once I was intimidated by weights/strength training. Appreciate Elizabeth’s help on this journey!

Becky Velasquez

At first, I was worried I would not attend classes regularly, but the instructors keep the workouts varied and interesting; I am motivated to attend. I feel stronger and healthier. Coach Elizabeth knows how to motivate and encourage me to do my best. The warm-ups are fun and stretches are great. I feel very healthy and now look forward to my three classes I attend each week.

Denise Hampson

The environment that Elizabeth has created and fostered is just what I needed. Everyone in the group training is supportive regardless of skill level. I feel encouraged when before I would feel defeated. The routines have not yet been the same which keeps every workout interesting and a challenge. I feel her passion for fitness and want to return that energy in kind which is saying something as I do not particularly enjoy exercise. I wholeheartedly recommend Monterey Bay Moves.

Miya Yamashita

Thanks to Monterey Bay Moves’ classes I’ve got an incredible strong core that helps me run in 5Ks and gives me better posture. I also feel more confident and less winded when running 5Ks!
