Newport Arts and
Athletics (also known as Newport Dance
& Cheer Academy, Inc.) NOW HAS CERTIFIED PERSONAL TRAINING SERVICES in
our Athletic and Fitness Academy! What is a Certified
Personal Trainer (CPT)? A CPT is an individual with a background and working
knowledge of health and fitness. He/she has been tested in their area of
expertise and is prepared to help clients achieve their personal best with a
personalized fitness plan. The CPT will help clients set goals, identify ways
to achieve them, and guide their clients throughout the process. How could a certified
personal trainer benefit you? 1.
You will
receive a personalized workout. Your trainer will have an initial meeting
with you where he/she will ask you a series of questions about your goals and
expectations. He/she will then provide a plan for you based on your schedule
and fitness interests. 2.
You will
be motivated. You have your own personal coach to assist you, teach you,
and encourage you throughout your journey. He/she will help you to keep going
when the going gets tough. 3.
Your trainer
will be there to teach you. He/she will teach you the proper way to do each
exercise and monitor your workouts to ensure that they are safe and appropriate
for your body type. He/she will ensure that your workouts are paced to fit your
individual needs so that you can continue your new lifestyle with or without a
trainer. 4.
A trainer
can give you a new perspective on fitness. Your workout will have variety
and options that you may have never thought of on your own. He/she has studied
to give you multiple options for achieving your goal/s. 5.
You will
get the most bang for your buck! With a CPT, you will have an
individualized game plan within each workout session. Your trainer will ensure
that you accomplish all your body needs during your time with him/her. The
trainer has extensive knowledge in how to target specific body parts and how to
complete a total body workout in the allotted time given. 6.
Convenience.
Your trainer will see what time works best for you and him/her. He/she will
give you a few time options to choose from and then allow you to decide what is
best for your lifestyle. Can I afford a
personal trainer? A CPT offers sessions based on your personal fitness goals.
At Newport Arts and Athletics, those may be 45-60 minutes in length. Depending
on your goals, the time you need to achieve them, and your budget, we can
determine what works best for you. Newport Athletic
& Fitness Academy: Certified Personal Trainer, Susan McMahan Susan is a teacher by nature and has been teaching students
of all ages since 1998. She has taught dance, gymnastics and fitness. She is
also has a degree in K-8 (highly qualified K-6) Education. Most recently, she
received her certification as a personal trainer. Her background in education
and dance has given her extensive knowledge in how the body works/moves and how
to share that with others. She feels like she specifically can help individuals with
weight loss goals, toning the body, post-pregnancy workouts, post-surgery
workouts/recovery, and helping others to gain a healthier lifestyle in general.
Nothing like personal experience can prepare you to help others reach a goal,
and Susan has been there. Life may throw you a few curve balls along the way,
but it is much easier to recover when you are healthy. This means improving
your mind, body, and soul. Susan believes that the ability to move and exercise
is a gift from God. She says, “It is up to us to use it for good. There are so
many voices that want to make us to feel insecure, as if we are not worthy or
able, but God is able. When He is for us, who can be against us! With Him, we
CAN and we will!” How can I join
Newport Athletic and Fitness Academy and meet a certified personal trainer? Call (423) 623-4113 to set up an appointment. Email Susan McMahan at OR message Susan McMahan on Facebook |

Hello friends! Today’s blog will be information about Newport Athletic and Fitness Academy, a division of Newport Arts and Athletics (NAA). Our
new fitness academy offers group fitness classes and NOW personal training for
all ages. Today’s blog will specifically cover some details about a few of the
group fitness classes that we offer. 1.
Zumba Fitness Classes- Zumba Fitness is a Latin-inspired
dance class. Cardio is emphasized through the infusion of dance styles such as:
Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia, Reggaeton, and MORE! Newport Athletic & Fitness Academy has
two licensed Zumba Fitness Instructors, Susan McMahan and Juliana Munsey. Both
teachers love what they do and enjoy sharing that passion for dance and fitness
with their students. Zumba Fitness classes are recommended for
ages 12 and older. All ability levels are welcome! Whether you’re a natural
dancer or a dancer at heart, you CAN participate in this class. A common misconception is that if one has
had no dance experience, they are not fit for this class. This could not be
further from the truth. As long as you can move, YOU CAN dance. You do not have
to match the instructor completely, and you shouldn’t. The instructor does this
for a living and is also the choreographer many times, so of course, he/she
should know the material and be good at leading it. Fellow classmates will be
on different levels. Regular attendees, of course, may know some of the routines
better, but you will as well the more you come! Don’t let the fear of being seen not
knowing what you’re doing stop you, because the truth is…everyone (including
the instructors) are concentrating on performing the steps, exercising, and
most importantly having FUN! All eyes will not be on you, and you will not be
singled out in class. So as soon as we post our schedule is
posted, see when you can join us and please do! 2.
High Intensity Interval Training
(HIIT)/Circuits- HIIT/Circuit classes are offered for students 12 and older.
Strength training, cardio, bodyweight exercises, and stretching are combined to
create a unique total body workout. In this unique class, exercises are first demonstrated
by the instructor for any new students or returning students who may need a
review or learning a new skill. Then, students perform exercises simultaneously
or in circuit rotations. The instructor will work out with you so that
demonstration is ongoing but may pause to assist/guide students in doing skills
correctly. He/she will advise you on modifications depending on your fitness
level. Each exercise is performed in 30-60 second
intervals. You do as much as you can physically do well in that time frame. We
then rotate to the next exercise. Sometimes exercises are repeated to target a
specific muscle. A HIIT/Circuit routine is great for the
individual who likes change because we never do the same workout twice. 3.
Stretch/Relaxation- A stretch/relaxation class
is a great way to unwind, relax/relieve tension in the muscles, and cool
down/rest muscles after an intense workout. Benefits of stretching include: ·
Injury prevention ·
Increased flexibility/range of motion ·
Prevention of DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscles
Soreness) ·
Stress relief ·
Improvement of posture Our stretch class includes a warmup, deep breathing, Yoga, and
stretches that are beneficial to the athlete or average person. Many muscle injuries occur by simply reaching or turning the
wrong way. Increased/regular practice in flexibility/stretching could assist
you in having a better range of motion and make it easier to do everyday tasks. These are just a few of the class offerings at Newport Health and Fitness, a division
of Newport Arts and Athletics (also
known as Newport Dance & Cheer Academy). For more information on these
classes, please contact us at… Phone (423) 623-4113 Email Visit our website at www.newportdancecheeracademyinc.com Or check us out on Facebook Thank you for your time! |
