Brookfield Personal Trainers for Home and Trail Workouts

Most homes here are single-family: Victorians, bungalows and postwar houses, many with a basement that makes a good training corner. There are also two-flats and small apartment buildings. Your trainer brings everything, so there's nothing to buy first. A bungalow basement has room for a bench and heavier lifts as you get stronger. In an upstairs flat, your trainer can lean on low-impact moves so the downstairs neighbors stay happy, and a living-room rug is all the floor you need.

In warm months, Brookfield Woods, across the street from the zoo, makes an easy outdoor meeting point. From there the paved Salt Creek Trail heads west past Salt Creek Nature Preserve toward Bemis Woods, so a session can be a steady walk, run intervals or longer endurance work, with strength stops on the grass along the way. Your trainer carries the bands and light weights. When the weather turns, the session moves back to your living room.

A hard week of training can leave you sore. Along with personal training, we offer in-home massage therapy by licensed therapists, so recovery happens in the same place your workouts do. It can be a good fit when you're adding new lifts, building up your mileage on the trail, or carrying tension from long days at a desk. Ask about massage on your consultation call, and it can be scheduled on the days between training sessions.
