Personal Info and Background
Hi, I'm Stephan Konrad and before I got into personal training I used to lead an unhealthy and inactive lifestyle and was not happy how I felt. I changed that through regular exercise and eating sensibly, since then I have never looked back and feel great. Because of this, Feel Alive Fitness was born to help many others to achieve similar goals whilst outlining the benefits of leading healthier lifestyles.
Now, I absolutely enjoy exercising and leading a healthy lifestyle, it's the energy and the feel good about yourself that motivates me. As an Advance Boxercise Instructor I enjoy boxing training, and other activities I like are Cycling, Football, Running, Squash, Rugby, Cricket, In-line Skating, Hiking, you name it.

Training Philosophy
The pursuit of health and fitness can be confusing. It seems there is always a special program or some type of magical equipment that is being touted as the solution to your wellness needs. You start to realise it's not so easy to decipher contradictory information and concludes with confidence which approach is the truth, or what piece of equipment will really improve your personal well-being and work for you.
A television show or infomercial expounds about the latest great new diet, which is surely destined to set up for failure anyone who happens to follow it. A newspaper article reports the latest exercise trend. Then there ss the promise of the four-minute, total body workout. Another promotion attempts to lure you to a program that promises immediate results, with magical new technology that is "research" proven. Will these or any hooks finally give you the success you've dreamed about, send you to the emergency room, or just leave you disappointed and frustr! ated one more time? Quite often, attempts at enticement are driven by a marketing plan that doesn't consider your real needs and best interest. And, regardless of how wacky or unsafe the program or equipment might be, the irony is that it could work for a while. That is, until you get bored, dissatisfied, or injured. Personal fitness training gives you an alternative to this mass market, impersonal approach to your fitness and health.
I, Stephan Konrad at Feel Alive Fitness will provide you with a personal training program that is specifically tailored to your needs, and we'll amend it so that it grows with you as you progress and your needs change down the road. The personal training programs at Feel Alive Fitness are a comprehensive lifestyle plan. Personal training includes instruction in resistance training (dumbbells, tubes, fitball and your own body), flexibility (stretching), nutrition advice (eating sensibly without hopping on the diet bandwagon), cardiovascular conditioning, and boxercise training.
You will learn proper technique and the reasons why each of these areas of fitness is important. You'll cross-train (change activities), and we'll periodise (change how hard you work over specific time periods) your personal training so you'll stay interested, have fun, and keep the results coming. Rather than performing a flurry of mindless activity that gets you little more than sweaty, you'll get a program that provides the maximum return for the goals that you set for yourself. Although I know what I want to accomplish with your personal training program, it would not be complete or as effective unless we also consider your thoughts, feelings, and opinions as we develop our individualised approach for you. Your input is critical in helping us design an ever-changing program that can meet your fitness, health, and nutritional needs. I will give you results that go further than cosmetics.
Sure, you'll look good and obtain a healthy ratio of body fat to lean muscle, which is a key measurement of health, but you'll also get that "Feel Alive" glow that comes from increased energy and a heightened state of overall health. You will become more agile and skilled in the sports which you choose to participate. As you increase your fitness you will reduce your chance of heart disease and be much better equipped to manage stress.
To get these results, I will need your cooperation, enthusiasm, and steady attendance commitment. We must work as a team, giving 100 percent effort. (This doesn't mean going all out during every workout!) Throughout your workouts, be straightforward and forthcoming. Tell me how you feel, voice your concerns, and ask whatever questions you might have. This is your personal training program, and the whole process works much better when you are actively involved.
To become highly fit you should schedule at least two personal training sessions per week. Eventually, you'll progress to doing some type of activity most days of the week. You'll be encouraged to do several of these activity sessions on your own. I'll help plan and schedule these workouts so that it is easy for you to complete them on your own. And, don't worry, I'll never progress you too fast and will always meet you at your pace! After four to six weeks of personal training, if not sooner, you should start seeing some great results. To sharpen the edge you get from efficient training, I will also periodically re-evaluate your program. Constant supervision and adjustment are essential features of responsible fitness training.
In addition to discussing your situation, needs, and preferences, I pledge to work so that these needs and desires are satisfied. That way, you will "Feel Alive" and energised when personal training.
Testimonials
Throughout 2009, as a result of a couple of bouts of illness and general pressures of work, I found myself feeling down, out of shape and unable to motivate myself to do anything about it? My wife bought me a gift voucher for Christmas for personal training with Feel Alive Fitness and, although I was nervous and self conscious of my increase waistline, I went along for my first session...and, honestly, I haven't looked back since! Having assessed what I wanted to achieve, Stephan put together a personal training programme for me which has not only radically improved my fitness in a relatively short space of time, but most importantly, given me back my self esteem. His attention to detail and constant encouragement never fails to impress me. I still have a long way to go but with Stephan's personal training, I am absolutely sure I will reach my goal. Robert Higgenbotham. Hampshire
I started personal training with Stephan in order to get balance in to my life with work, to lose weight and to get fit. After 4 months I am definitely on track to make these changes to my life. He can put together a schedule to suit me, is prompt and flexible with timings as well as bringing a good attitude to the personal training stretching me whilst also having fun. Ian Gates. Hampshire
I have been personal training with Stephan for the last 5 months. Have started to really notice the difference, even with only one session a week. This is much better than a gym where you waste your time and normally stop going after a few weeks! It's good fun and good value as you get a whole hour of one-to-one personal training. Recommend feelalivefitness to anyone! Dan Bentley. Hampshire
Stephan has really work hard with me this year. As soon as he started with me he realised what my problems with movement and my disability were and adapted the personal training workouts to make it easier for me, also he had no problems with helping me carry out the exercises e.g. put weight in my hands the right way. His way of encouragement and pushing me to my limit help me to progress and to get stronger which has helped me to have the most successful year in my boccia career year so far.

Whether personal training a group, fitness class or one-to-one personal training Stephan always delivers top quality sessions. Stephan seemingly effortlessly makes personal training sessions fun and enjoyable, whilst also maintaining his awareness of possible health and safety risks, which he is constantly advising on. Stephan remains enthusiastic throughout personal training sessions, and constantly remains supportive and encouraging, whilst making it clear what the benefits to each exercise are. Despite making personal training sessions fun and enjoyable, Stephan is insistent on maintaining correct technique and posture throughout every exercise, this further supports Stephan's concentration on making the personal training sessions safe, effective and injury free, which also increases one's confidence and trust in Stephan as a professional personal trainer. Stephan is able to train clients for a decent number of disciplines, and each one is just as effective, and the quality of the personal training sessions remains consistent. Even outside of working hours, Stephan is ! obviously dedicated to his career choice and he is willing to offer help and support "out of hours" , and also he is very knowledgeable about the industry. On more than one occasion Stephan has advised me on minor injuries, why that part got injured and what I can do to help correct or prevent it happening in the future. Kirsty Heaver. Hampshire
Stephan has now been personal training me since January and has helped meet several of my training goals. Stephan keeps my personal training programme flexible and varied so that I remain focused and interested. In addition Stephan has been very accommodating following my knee surgery and has helped greatly with my rehabilitation. Stephan is both approachable and easy to get on with, which helps to make the personal training sessions more relaxed and enjoyable. Meanwhile Stephan's attitude to personal training is direct and intense which helps speed up achieving my goals. He is also very knowledgeable about physical training, and has offered numerous points of advice to improve my technique in weights and C.V. work, and also nutritional advice. Jonathan Oviaso.

Stephan has been personal training me since late 2006 and I have made considerable progress with his help. I had been working out before I started with Stephan but decided to use a Personal Trainer to boost my motivation at the time. Since working with Stephan I have set different goals along the way. I initially started personal training with Stephan to add quality muscle mass and reduce my body fat over a 5 month period. Whilst personal training with Stephan over this time frame he helped me add 3kg of muscle and reduce by body to 10%. At the moment he is helping me on improving my running style for athletics. As a personal trainer Stephan is a very nice, talkative guy who really seems to care about his clients. I can talk to him about more than just training which is always good. He pushes me hard and seems to know my limits, which is good as sometimes I will not push myself when I know I can go further or lift more weight. He does not let you have it easy just because you want but also is able to tell what you can handle. Stephan is willing to listen to what things you like and don't like exercise wise and will build you a personal training program of what you do like that will still give you good results. Over the time that I have worked with Stephan I have realised that most goals are very attainable but you have to put in the hard work to achieve them.
