Personal Training
Train smarter, move better, and achieve lasting results.
At ARVAmethod, personal training goes beyond getting a workout in. It’s about teaching you how to exercise effectively while creating functional movement patterns that enhance your well-being and deliver noticeable, lasting results. With a focus on metabolic and functional health, I help you build quality movement, protect your joints, and prevent injury, all while working toward sustainable goals. Together, we’ll build lean muscle and reduce body fat in a healthy, balanced way that fits your lifestyle.
Personal Training Services
Personal Training
Each personal training session is tailored to your specific needs and goals. I focus on functional exercises that improve strength, mobility, and balance while ensuring pain-free movement. Sessions are designed to protect your joints, enhance metabolic health, and help you achieve sustainable, long-term results. Whether you're working on recovery, performance, or overall wellness, every session is customized to support your unique fitness journey.
In-person sessions are available at either the ARVAmethod Studio in River West or the Coast residential gym in downtown Chicago. You’ll choose your preferred location at the time of booking for added convenience.
Mobility & Therapeutic Exercise
Ideal for individuals addressing pain with movement, recovering from injury, or working on improving mobility. These 40-minute sessions focus on correcting specific concerns through targeted exercises and movement techniques designed to restore function and alleviate discomfort. In addition to corrective exercises, sessions may also include hands-on release work to enhance mobility and reduce pain. These sessions are similar to physical therapy, offering a highly personalized approach to improving movement and addressing physical limitations.
In-person sessions are available at either the ARVAmethod Studio in River West or the Coast residential gym in downtown Chicago. You’ll choose your preferred location at the time of booking.

The importance of training correctly.
You already know that regular exercise is essential for maintaining good health, but what’s often overlooked is how critical it is to train correctly. Without a proper understanding of how to exercise based on your age, fitness level, goals, and limitations, you risk doing more harm than good. The foundation of any effective training program is pain-free, high-quality movement. If your workouts are leaving you injured, sore, or experiencing joint pain and flare-ups, it’s time to reevaluate your approach.
Consistency is another key factor. Showing up and putting in the work on a regular basis is what leads to real progress. Training too little, or with too little intensity, is not only ineffective—it’s a waste of time. Your body needs to be challenged to adapt and improve. Many people stick to exercises they’re comfortable with, but doing the same routine repeatedly without progressing in intensity or variety doesn’t yield the results you’re aiming for. The truth is, if your training doesn’t include all the core principles—strength, endurance, flexibility, mobility, and balance—you’re missing out on the full range of health benefits. Over time, muscle loss, weight gain, and declining metabolic health can sneak up on you, leaving you frustrated and behind.
“Effective training is about more than just showing up—it's about consistency, intensity, and moving with purpose to build a strong, healthy foundation for life.”

At ARVAmethod, my approach to training is about more than just getting you through a workout. I believe in building a well-rounded fitness routine that helps you move better, feel stronger, and improve your overall health. My philosophy is rooted in functional fitness, where we focus on mobility, flexibility, balance, strength, and endurance to create a complete approach to your well-being.

Through personalized training plans, we’ll work together to improve your metabolic health, build lean muscle, and reduce body fat—all in a way that supports long-term success. It’s not about quick fixes or trendy workouts; it’s about developing strength, resilience, and fitness that will serve you for life. My goal is to help you build fitness into your lifestyle so that it becomes a natural part of who you are and how you live.
Questions?

Both the Coast Residential Gym and the ARVAmethod Studio are fully equipped for any level of training. However, if we’re specifically focusing on aerobic fitness, the Coast Gym has a wider variety of cardio machines. The main thing to consider is the time you’d like to train. I see clients at Coast from 6 AM to 10 AM, and at the ARVAmethod Studio from 12 PM to 6 PM. Both locations have ample meter parking for your convenience.
