Jennifer Benson will come to you with a personalized fitness program in your own home.<\/em>\n<\/div>\n<p>By Barbara Brewer La Mere<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Benson, owner of Travel 2 U Fitness, has been playing sports (soccer, softball, and track) and working out all of her life. When she found that her career in medical device sales just wasn&#8217;t leaving her enough time to spend with her boys, she decided to quit and pursue personal trainer certification through the National Academy of Sports. She became certified in February of 2012 and took some time to spend with her sons, practice being a personal trainer to her friends and do some market research on providing in-home personal training services.<br \/>\nShe learned that Moms like herself with small children welcome the opportunity to learn proper exercise techniques and get fit and looking toned without having to hire a sitter or load the kids into the car. Retired women and others who may be self-conscious about working out in a gym with other people watching are glad to be able to learn fitness techniques in the comfortable learning environment of their own homes.<\/p>\n<p>Benson studied nutrition as part of her certification training and she includes information about nutrition, including healthy recipes and articles from fitness and women&#8217;s health magazines, as part of her training visits. She may also bring along articles that explain the reasons behind which exercises are included and how they&#8217;re done so that a client can understand, &#8220;Why you&#8217;re doing what you&#8217;re doing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Particular exercises included in a workout depend on the needs and desires of the individual on a case-by-case basis. Initial sessions tend to focus on stabilization and balance, and increasing core strength. Benson offers schedules to accommodate her clients. Some clients opt for two- or three-days-a -week schedules with hour- long sessions. Half-hour sessions are another option. Benson&#8217;s availability is primarily from 9am to 2pm weekdays. She is also now offering times between 6pm and 8pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings.<\/p>\n<p>Benson is currently working toward certification as a group fitness instructor. She would like to provide local businesses with opportunities to offer their employees fitness programs that fit into the workday. This could include exercises that people can do at their desks and nutrition information to help keep them healthy employees. She&#8217;d also like to teach working Moms about exercises that they can do with their children when they get home. Says Benson, &#8220;It&#8217;s fun!<\/p>\n<p>Travel 2 U Fitness, based out of Benson&#8217;s home in Gansevoort, can be reached at 588-0167.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Want to get fit, but just can&#8217;t get to the gym?
