About Janine

While studying for my Personal Training Diploma through ETA I was working for Physiotherapist in Rivonia.  I opened a small studio in Centurion Weirda Park 2004. I work one on one with clients and take on small groups (maximum of 4).

I believe that the  body is your machine and you need to use your body instead of a weight machine to do the work. So I use your body to do work outs.  Using your own body weight with a swiss ball, kettlebell, medicine ball, or theraband I find i get better results for what I want to achieve for my clients.

I do the following in my training:

Assessment :

Body weight (scale), body measurements, skin fold readings, upper body strength test, abdominal strength test, cardio fitness test, lower back and hamstring flexibility test.

From the assessment I can determine the weak and strong points of the client.  I then workout a personalized training program to suite the individual client’s needs.

Exercise Plans:

Exercise plans are designed to fit what the individual client needs e.g.

• Weight loss:
  According to the client’s body fat percentage a exercise program will be determined, if body fat percentage is too high, we will first bring the body fat down.  We will do cardiovascular training & propose an eating plan. When the client has reached a lower body fat percentage, we can start working on stability, toning etc.
• Core strength:
  Core strength is were we make the client’s abdominal and back muscles stronger.  (I use core stability in all my workouts).
• Toning:
  Toning is where we firm and define the muscles in your body.

Posture:

When working on the stability ball if your posture is incorrect in any way the exercises will be uncomfortable.  I work on correcting the pipeline from your head to your toes. Making you aware of the muscles that help with posture.
