Around the Hook Today – January 2011<\/strong><\/p>\n

For Eastpointe Health & Fitness\u2019s Members and Training Partners 32-year old Alyson Santoro and 62-year old Elaine Egidio, Group Training with Personal Trainer Nadine Wellauer Has Made All the Difference.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone and everyone can benefit from weight training,\u201d said EPH&F Personal Trainer, Nadine Wellauer.\u00a0 \u201cExercise truly is the fountain of youth.\u201d\u00a0 Nadine has made believers out of women and men of all ages, sizes and walks of life who have trained with her at EPH&F.\u00a0 \u201cI have clients in their 20s, in their 70s and every age in between.\u00a0 I have 32 year old Alyson working out with 62 year old Elaine and I have men working out with women.\u00a0 I believe group training adds a whole new dimension to working out.\u00a0 It is a great way to experience the benefits of a personal trainer at a very economical price.\u00a0 It makes you accountable.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have to work out alone.\u00a0 You get professional instruction so you\u2019re exercising the right way and you get pushed, gently, to go past the point where you may have stopped if working out on your own.\u00a0 And, of course, ultimately you get fit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadine got her start in fitness through dance with a repertoire\"Nadine that included ballet, point and modern dance.\u00a0 She went on to become a certified personal trainer and worked in corporate fitness for a number of years teaching fitness to entire corporate staffs.\u00a0 As she grew in experience, Nadine became an examiner for the Aerobic and Fitness Association of America, both training and evaluating new instructors.\u00a0 She has also organized and promoted Master Fitness Classes at local fitness centers and has successfully completed courses in senior fitness, dance training and children’s community. Nadine has also done promotional work for the Avia Fitness Line.\u00a0 Besides personal training at EPH&F, she teaches Spin and Body Sculpt.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy fitness philosophy is that I like to keep things fresh,\u201d said Nadine.\u00a0 \u201cI want to mix up the exercises, shake up any routine, not just to keep my clients interested but to keep my client\u2019s muscles interested as well.\u00a0 It\u2019s called muscle confusion.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 Muscle confusion workouts operate under the theory that by constantly changing movements, the body will be forced to respond. Under typical workout routines (doing the same type of exercises a few times a week), muscles become used to the routine and the results are minimized. Muscle confusion workouts mix up the routines so the muscles have a harder time adapting, which causes them to work harder and produce visible results.\u00a0\u00a0 \u201cI like to give my clients multi-purpose exercises,\u201d continued Nadine.\u00a0 \u201cIn other words, I try to work more than one muscle group at a time.\u00a0 It\u2019s more efficient that way and burns more calories.\u00a0 You end up working the entire body.\u00a0 I make sure nothing gets neglected.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nadine incorporates this fitness philosophy into her Sculpt and Spin classes but especially into her group training sessions.\u00a0 Besides being economical, group training can enhance the work out experience.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s fun,\u201d said EPH&F member, 32-year old Alyson Santoro who trains with Nadine.\u00a0 \u201cTraining with someone else helps keep you motivated.\u201d\u00a0 Always active, Alyson joined the gym as part of her New Year\u2019s resolution about six years ago. \u201cI did the elliptical and spin classes and I used to watch Nadine work out with other people and I thought, I want to do that,\u201d said Alyson. \u201cI have two daughters who are seven and eight and a 16 year old son and I think it\u2019s important for my kids to see that I work out and take care of myself.\u00a0\u00a0 With weight training, I have gotten much more toned and a lot stronger. I still lift and carry my daughters once in a while and I know I wouldn\u2019t be able to do it if I wasn\u2019t training.\u201d\u00a0 Alyson also got her husband, Anthony, to come and spin and weight train.\u00a0 \u201cI love EPH&F,\u201d Alyson continued.\u00a0 \u201cIt\u2019s small and intimate and everyone is so supportive and friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n

Currently, Alyson weight trains twice a week with Nadine and training partner 62-year old, member Elaine Egidio.\u00a0 \u201cI started dancing when I was four years old,\u201d said Elaine.\u00a0 \u201cI graduated as a dance major from Glassboro State College (now Rowan).\u00a0\u00a0 I went on to teach dance in Virginia Beach and moved to Spain and started a dance program there.\u00a0 I then got involved with creative movement for children and I am now a Dance Movement Therapist.\u00a0 Although, I have been involved with dance all my life, I found that I wasn\u2019t dancing very much myself.\u00a0 I also have an under active thyroid and I thought if I sped up my metabolism through exercise I could avoid taking medication.\u00a0 I started running and then joined the gym although I barely came.\u00a0 Then I started weight training and core training and took Nadine\u2019s Body Sculpt class.\u00a0 Eventually, my schedule changed so I could weight train with Nadine.\u00a0 Now I\u2019m a gym regular.\u201d\u00a0 Besides wanting to speed up her metabolism, Elaine also wanted to work out so she could eat what she wanted.\u00a0 \u201cI realized pretty quickly that that wasn\u2019t such a good reason to exercise.\u00a0 I decided that if I\u2019m going to get fit then I needed to look at my eating habits too,\u201d said Elaine.\u00a0 \u201cI met with Kim Garrity, the EPH&F Nutritionist and she worked with me on my diet.\u00a0 I started eating more fruits and vegetables and together with weight training and cardio work I lost four inches on my waist.\u00a0 Besides the weight loss I also have more energy and my muscles are more clearly defined.\u00a0 I also work out in the mornings which really set the tone for the whole day.\u00a0 I am in my 60s and I have to say I am probably in the best shape of my life.\u00a0 I have to give a lot of credit to Nadine, Kim and the entire staff here at EPH&F.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let age be an excuse to not exercise.\u00a0 It can make a life changing difference to your health and well being.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
