24 | Washington Athletic Club Magazine | JUNE / JULY 2015 Getting Fit By George Sommerrock, Fitness Programs Manager N ow that we've reached the halfway point of the year, it's a good time to check in with our New Year's fitness resolutions. As summer begins, maybe you feel the need to reignite those January goals. Perhaps there is a special event that you have committed to—like a vacation trek, your first marathon, or just a promise to get healthier for you and your family. A personal trainer who complements your goals can supply the motivation and accountability you need to succeed. Luckily, here at the WAC we provide specialized personal training for almost every need. This article highlights a few of our offerings. CORRECTIVE EXERCISE Muscle imbalances lead to reduced movement, which often ends in serious injuries. A corrective- exercise specialist will guide you through workouts that can prevent imbalance- related injuries and increase your functional movement. PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENT Do you have a specific sport for which you are training? Performance-enhancement specialization will improve your flexibility, speed, agility and performance. Professional athletes and weekend warriors alike can benefit from cross-training methods that are specifically designed to boost coordination and skill. WEIGHT LOSS If your fitness focus is on weight management and attaining a healthier lifestyle, weight-loss specialization trainers can help. They design exercise programs around the goals of their clients and consider multiple factors for optimum benefit and safety. WOMEN, YOUTH AND SENIORS These specialists focus on aspects of fitness beyond general health and athleticism, instead targeting specific demographics and gender-related health. Trainers consider aspects such as bone density, childhood obesity, and workout history. No matter what sort of program you're looking for, there is a WAC personal trainer right for you.
