Weight Loss Personal Training for Men in Phoenix, AZ

Most men should aim for about 1 to 2 pounds a week. The CDC recommends that gradual, steady pace because people who lose weight that way are more likely to keep it off. If you have a health condition, check with your doctor before you start.

No. Strength training plus better eating habits does most of the work, and lifting helps you hold onto muscle while the fat comes off. Walking still helps, and an American College of Sports Medicine article on weight loss myths points out that even light activity outside your workouts adds up.

No. We're personal trainers, not dietitians, so we give practical nutrition guidance instead of meal plans, built around a few simple habits that fit your schedule. If you need a structured diet for a medical reason, a registered dietitian is the right person for that part.

Yes. Online coaching gives you weekly workouts in the Form Fitness app that you can do in a hotel gym or your room, plus video check-ins with Matt. You can also mix studio sessions when you're home with app workouts on the road.

Matt tracks your waist, your strength, how your clothes fit and your energy, along with your weight, and re-checks everything every 4 weeks. Waist size is one of the most useful numbers, since the NIDDK treats 40 inches or more as the point where a man's risk of weight-related health problems goes up. If the scale stalls but your waist is shrinking and your lifts are going up, you're very likely still losing fat.

That's common, and often the problem was a plan too strict to keep up, not a lack of willpower. Matt starts with small changes, checks in every 4 weeks and adjusts when something isn't working. You're never too far gone to begin.

At Form Fitness, in-studio sessions are $100 each with no contract, or $95 a session with 10 and $90 with 24. In-home training starts at $150 a session, and online coaching is $200 a month. Your first consultation is free.
