TESTIMONIALSAfter struggling with my weight for years; attempting various diets, calorie counting and home programs, I decided to start running to lose weight. Several half marathons later the weight was still there.  Little did i know, my diet was so loaded with processed foods and carbs that I would never be able to run enough to burn off the extra weight.  I was fit cardio-wise but my body did not look the way i wanted. During my pregnancy in 2009, I gained over 50 pounds on top of the excess weight I was already carrying.  Nine months after giving birth I had only lost 20 pounds of my 50 pound gain and got out of breath climbing stairs!  I was totally out of shape and just miserable with myself.  I knew that I needed to take some serious action.  I often thought, I am an educated woman with a lot of accomplishments, why am I still struggling with control over my body!

In November of 2010 I joined the Arena Club; maintained a regular regimen of both resistive and cardio training to finally get my weight under control.  My next goal was to focus on sculpting my body and adding more muscle mass.  I started seeing a personal trainer at Arena Club who designed nutrition, weight training and cardio programs to help me reach my fitness goals. Although I had no desire to compete in a figure competition, I still wanted to look like I could.  After much encouragement from my trainer, I entered my first figure competition, the 2011 OCB Tri-State Classic in Dover Delaware.   I placed 1st  in the over 35  division and took overall- I was shocked and excited!  This experience taught me that anything is attainable with hard work, dedication, and a solid plan.   None of this would have been  possible without the support and guidance  from my trainer at the Arena Club.

Thanks for everything!

TESTIMONIALSI have been riding and competing horses all my life. When I hit the big 50,my riding started to slip. I just wasn't on top of my game anymore. I contacted Patricia Marks and we coordinated what I needed with feed back from my riding coaches, Jack and Josee Stedding.

We started  personal training sessions that would help with my strength ,balance and core improvement.  I am happy to report that I am back in the winners circle with the latest successful win at the Foxden "Hunter Derby" competition. I could not have done it without Patricia. Thanks Patricia!  The  picture is of me and my Dutch Warmblood,  "Confetti" at the Maryland Horse and Pony Show .

TESTIMONIALSI joined The Arena Club in February 2010 and wanted a trainer to help me build strength, core, and balance. I suffer from sacroiliac joint disorder, which is commonly characterized by low back and gluteal pain, as well as hip and sciatic leg pain. I have endured several back surgeries—most recently in 2003 to help minimize lower back and leg pain from a ruptured disc.

The goal for me was to improve strength, range of motion, and work major muscles. With the help of Master Trainer, Patricia Marks, I have made major strides with strength and balance, dropped several pant sizes, and changed my body fat percentage from 28.5% to 15.5%.

TIPS TO PREVENTING INJURIES

Take 5 to 10 minutes to heat up and cool down appropriately.

  Plan to begin slowly and boost your activity level

progressively unless you are already exercising often and strongly.

Be mindful that training too tough or too frequently can trigger overuse injuries like tension fractures, stiff or sore muscles and joints, and inflamed ligaments and ligaments. Sports prompting recurring wear and tear on certain parts of your body-- such as swimming (shoulders), running (ankles, feet, and knees), tennis (elbows)-- are frequently overuse culprits, too. A mix of different kinds of tasks and adequate rest is safer.

TIPS TO PREVENTING INJURIES

Listen to your body. Hold back on workout when you're sick or feel very fatigued. Cut down if you cannot complete an exercise session, feel faint after workout or fatigued during the day, or suffer consistent aches and pains in joints after working out.

  If you stop working out for a while, hang back to a

lower level of exercise. If you're doing strength training, for example, lift lighter weights or do fewer sets or representatives.

For most individuals, just drinking a lot of water suffices. However if you're exercising specifically hard or doing a marathon or triathlon, choose beverages that replace fluids plus essential electrolytes.

TIPS TO PREVENTING INJURIES Choose shoes and clothing made for your kind of workout.

Change shoes every 6 months as cushioning wears out.

For strength training, excellent type is vital. At first make use of no weight, or very lightweight, when finding out the exercises. Never ever compromise by rushing to finish reps or sets, or struggling to lift heavier weights.

Exercising vigorously in hot, damp conditions can bring about severe overheating and dehydration. Your speed will decrease when the temperature increases above 70 degrees Farenheit. On days when the thermometer is anticipated to reach 80 degrees Farenheit, exercise during cooler parts of the day like in the morning or evening hours or at an air-conditioned gym. Watch for signs of getting too hot, such as headache, dizziness, nausea, faintness, pains, or palpitations.
