Paige’s Holiday Challenge Week 2
A pre-workout snack should be high in carbohydrates; our body’s main source of energy. Foods high in protein and fat take longer to digest, may increase the risk of stomach discomfort during exercise and do not provide energy. By having a carbohydrate-heavy snack one hour before exercise, you will give your body time to digest and the energy will be readily available.

Mind and Body : Commitment and Balance Heart and Soul : Understanding and Passion These words come to mind when I reflect on my year and a half at One on One. These words describe One on One the organization and One on One the staff and trainers. These words describe what One on One has instilled in me – both ‘on and off the court’.

I have been a One on One client since May of 2005. I went to them because I was a long-time sufferer of lower back pain. For over 30 years I had been trying various medical procedures to “fix” my back but none provided long-term relief. The constant pain and occasional debilitating flare-ups had significantly deteriorated my quality of life. Exercising was the last thing I felt like doing because I was afraid I would hurt my back even worse, but I was desperate to try to find a solution to my back problem. I was immediately impressed with the thoroughness and professionalism of my initial consultation with Kym. She seemed to understand what I had been through & what I was going through at the time. Even though I had such a long and problematic history of back pain, Kym was confident that her program could help me. I was skeptical but was willing to give it a try.
Todd Hershbine, Minitab HR Executive Susanne Marder, Minitab Fitness and Wellness Director
We strongly recommend One on One, Fitness Consultants Inc. as a vendor of choice in providing fitness benefits in a corporate setting to any corporation who is serious about implementing a state of the art fitness program for its employees. Minitab entered into a business arrangement with One on One in 2004 in an effort to keep our low risk employee population stable and potentially motivate our high risk employee population to migrate to a low risk active lifestyle by encouraging participation in our corporate fitness programs. The goal was driven by a business necessity to control our future health care costs since our utilization reports indicated that at least 75% of our potential health care issues occurred in potential lifestyle disease and not catastrophic instances/shock claims.

Virtual training at One on One is far more valuable than I even imagined. In February 2016, it was time to take my health and fitness seriously. Living in Washington D.C., I had many options, but decided to choose One on One in State College because of their reputation for delivering real results. I wanted results, not just an exercise experience.
