Certified Personal Trainers - CPT

Certified Personal Trainers require many hours of course work and testing to be deemed as "Certified" versus a Personal Trainer, which can be a self declared title.  Most everyone associates a Certified Personal Trainer, CPT,  with various sports and fitness level goals; whether the sports are individual or team.  Fortunately for Beth A Borecky's people, she has other skills that can enhance the CPT training.  We discuss dual certification below.

Certified Personal Trainers are concerned with the sports aspects like the pictures in the header and be defined by how they interact with these folks. A certified personal trainer helps individuals achieve their fitness goals by designing personalized workout plans, providing guidance on proper exercise techniques, and offering support and motivation. They assess clients' fitness levels, set goals, and develop programs to improve strength, endurance, and overall well-being. 

The lines blur a bit for Beth A. Borecky, as her Massage folks are patients and technically her CPT folks are clients.  To make life simpler, all the folks she deals with are treated as Patients, which means confidentiality is maintained for everyone.  Generally we refer to them below as "Individuals" to un-blur the lines.  Here's a more detailed look at what a Beth A Borecky does as a certified personal trainer:
