Fitness over 40 A "Can Do" Approach Getting Yourself where You want to Be - and Having it be Fun!
Personal Trainer Knoxville
Hi! I'm Carrie Somerfield, and my mission as your personal trainer and wellness coach is to encourage you and to teach you exactly how to develop a safe and well-rounded fitness program that will result in a way of living that is more energetic, strong and peaceful. Since becoming part of the fitness industry over twelve years ago, I have developed a style of training that is not like many of the trainers I have observed.I don't believe you can just exercise and become healthy and strong. It also involves your values, your inner thoughts and what you do when you are away from the gym. Because it really involves the connection of your mind, body and spirit - I've designed a way to work with you that will achieve that total integration without pain and stress.The word "integrated' comes from the Latin "integrat" - which means "make whole." My training/coaching style with you has come from my own experience of training myself to be made whole. Being over 50, and having had 3 children, I understand the aging body, and have had to learn how to appreciate and work with what I CAN DO! I can teach and show you how to do the same.A healthy and integrated lifestyle is first birthed in your mind - that is, your inner self. It has to be an internal and conscious decision if you are going to be able to stick to the action necessary. The thought "I should" cannot be part of it - You will learn that it is very important to say, "This is what I WANT!"And injury prevention is paramount! Form and correct execution of exercises is essential in making sure you don't hurt yourself. That's where your coach/trainer comes in by encouraging you, but protecting and cautioning as well. Personal experience has helped me learn that lesson. And... (this is BIG)... It has to be FUN! There has to be something you really enjoy about this journey, or you won't continue. It is the fun part that adds to your ability to keep with it, and accomplish your goals. We're all different here, and that's what makes the process so challenging... and the discovery so FUN! If You…

TESTIMONIALS
With the increased strengh,flexibility and body awareness that I have gained from Carrie, I am in the best shape of my life at age 58. Her creativity and sense of humor have made it all a lot of fun, too. Sue
"Carrie makes the difference. She is understanding, encouraging, challenging and sensitive to individual conditions" Tony Western
"Carrie guides everyone to only do as much as your body can handle. She always has a plan A, plan b, and c to get the job done. Carrie makes everyone feel welcome. I have never felt uncomfortable with her. I now feel energized and have so much more stamina!" Lynn
"Carrie not only serves my physical needs but also is a great encouragement when I am having health or personal problems. she goes above and beyond the expectations I had" Nancy Cross
"Carrie has the unique ability to physically train your body and educate your mind in the art of having a healthy body. She is a skilled professional trainer that takes the time to demonstrate and explain what each exercise does for the body. But more than that, she explains what you can expect to feel with each exercise and what you can achieve from doing the exercise. The exercises on correct posture have given bob the most benefit. Prior to working with Carrie he was developing a hump on his back. Although he still has somewhat of a hump, it has been greatly reduced. When he lies on his back on the floor the back of his head can now touch which was hard to do before." Nancy and Bob
"As a result of Carrie's instruction, I have seen improvement in my flexibility, strength and energy level. I have tried exercise techniques which I would not have thought possible, and I feel comfortable and motivated to participate in group classes. I have found Carrie to be very knowledgeable/experienced in exercise physiology. She is a good communicator, a positive person and a problem solver. She is punctual and efficient and very accommodating for those with physical limitations. " Kay
"I appreciate Carrie's work with me in the water the most. Because of my shattered ankle, I cannot get much aerobic exercise on"the Land". I particularly appreciate Carrie's sensitivity to individuals with physical problems and suggestions for helping." Lorraine
"Carrie is great at figuring out what works best for any particular person. she has an amazing ability to unearth her clients weakness and gently turn them into strengths. Carrie's primary focus is on what a client can do rather than what they can't. Because of all my restrictions I may have given up on exercise all together. but Carrie was able to give me options that were actually fun, so this jump start on an exercise program is helping me stay the course for my fitness goals" Mona
