The Well
Sam combines best practice athletic training and rehabilitation methods to create highly individualized personal training and wellness coaching. Sam’s clients train for sport, to change their body composition, and to overcome movement limitations. Exercises and training techniques reflect client history, goals, posture, gait, and breathing patterns.
Services
Sam offers one-on-one sessions, semi-private sessions, small group sessions, and nutritional coaching at his fully equipped outdoor home gym in Midtown, Palo Alto.
All clients begin with a movement and nutritional assessment, and train with Sam in one-on-one sessions. As appropriate, clients may be given the option to join a group of up to three clients for semi-private sessions in which each client performs their individualized workout under Sam’s supervision. Small group sessions in which participants perform the same workout are available at select times as well. Nutritional coaching based on behavior-change psychology is available as an add-on to any of the above services or as a stand-alone service.
