Services and Packages
Pongo Power offers many exciting ways to feel physically fit, increase muscle tone, and correct muscular-skeletal alignment.
The Basics
Frequency
Cardiovascular Exercise should be performed 3 to 6 times a week. However, research has shown that even one day of cardiovascular exercise per week provides significant health benefits.
Your certified personal trainer with meet with you one to six times per week, depending on your needs: to motivate and guide you as you achieve your goals.
Type of Exercise
Performing various modalities of exercise (cardiovascular exercise, walking, jogging, swimming, resistance training) can reduce overuse injuries and boredom. This is referred to as Cross Training.
Exercise not only increases muscle tone, balance, and coordination; it also increases blood circulation to vital internal organs. Increased circulation helps to rid the body of toxins and also supplies the cells with oxygen. Exercise leads to longevity.
What We Offer at Pongo Power
Working as a team, you and your personal trainer will determine which forms of exercise are most appropriate to achieve your own personal goals and increase your well-being.

You have a choice of weight-bearing or non-weight baring cardiovascular exercise. Both of these choices are non-impact modalities. Therefore your joints are protected from unnecessary overuse that can lead to repetitive stress injuries.

Complete Set of Dumbbells

Dumbbells and barbells are also called, “Free Weights.” Using various forms of free weights during resistance training offers the opportunity to learn about how your bodies moves, and what patterns your body exhibits. These patterns are known as kinetic chain patterns and are often masked by equipment that you sit on in gyms.
Kinetic – Movement
Chain – A series of events
Pattern – Repeating again and again
Functional Training
Functional training is resistance training that prepares your body to engage in real-life activities. Through learning about how you move – you will identify and correct old habitual patterns. When you use proper form and technique during exercise, you can train your muscles to move more efficiently. When your body operates with greater efficiency, you feel more energetic. Function training provides your body with the muscle memory needed to lead your best life possible.
Activities such as: standing up in the subway, climbing up the subway steps to the street, picking up your children and grandchildren, bringing the lawn mower outside, carrying home groceries, putting the kitty litter in the cat box, swinging a tennis racket, gardening, grouting the tiles in your bathtub, and climbing up a steep driveway in the country-side to get to your weekend house; these are all actions that require flexibility, stability, strength and power.
