Cross-Training at Inner Strength-

Inner Strength’s personal training programs are different from all others. Our cross training yoga-based approach is holistic, intuitive, and individualized. In each session, we will work together to open and strengthen your body. Personal Cross Training at Inner Strength combines both Eastern and Western approaches to fitness to take you on a journey into optimal strength and conditioning.   Inner Strength also offers conventional personal training sessions.  Did you know that your personal training sessions will enhance your strength, balance, coordination, stability and understanding on the mat?

We begin all sessions with breathing. When your breath is full and synchronized with motion, you will experience power and strength you didn’t know you possessed. Using this power, we will work with cardiovascular activity, functional strength training, and yoga and stretching. 

 

We teach our clients to lay a foundation of basic Yoga principles of breathing, balance, coordination, flexibility, and body awareness. We build on this foundation with conventional methods of exercise including strength training and cardiovascular conditioning. In each one of our sessions we cover all the elements prescribed by the American College of Sports Medicine and much more including:

  Cardiovascular strength and endurance
  Muscular Strength and endurance
  Flexibility
  Body Composition (Lean body mass: body fat)


Personal training at Inner Strength is not about quick weight loss or building gigantic muscles. It is about coming into your body, realizing your individual needs, and working toward lifelong health and wellness. At Inner Strength, your body leads the way.  

 

Inner Strength Certified Personal Trainers have extensive training in Yoga asana, cardiovascular fitness, exercise physiology, and anatomy as well as knowledge of common physical problems including back, shoulder, knee, and hip pains.  We work together with clients listening and communicating to create the most effective modern methods of conditioning to help them along their journey.  Personal Training sessions can be a valuable tool for those who are just starting out on their wellness program, those returning from injury, or someone wanting to explore what conventional exercises have to offer.  Our personal training programs can stand on its own or provide an excellent supplement to our yoga offerings.  Sessions are by appointment.

Often, people come to Inner Strength with new injuries when they have pushed themselves too hard or old injuries that have never healed correctly.  Our priority is SAFTY for the client.  With our team of trainers Inner Strength will coach you allowing for a safe and progressive return to optimal physical health.

Lisa Miller

Lisa’s philosophy is to have a healthy and active lifestyle which includes exercise as part of your daily routine.  Being a mother of two young boys, she understands how challenging it can be to not only carve out time for exercise, but to truly enjoy working out.   For Lisa, fitness is not only a priority but also a passion.  She loves running, strength training, swimming, biking and yoga.  Competing in road races and triathlons are what keep her motivated to train hard, in addition to having the energy to keep up with her boys! 

Lisa is certified through the American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) and American Red Cross CPR/AED.  Her years of training emphasize total body conditioning for strength, endurance and flexibility along with balance and core strengthening.

She believes that exercising the body is as important as exercising the mind.  Often it is not always just about how you look, but more importantly, how healthy you feel about yourself physically, emotionally and spiritually.  The key to long-term success is establishing your needs and developing your own individual fitness goals.  Lisa looks forward to working with you to create a personalized workout plan that is motivational and challenging.

"Just a quick note to tell you how much my mom enjoyed the sessions w/ Ben.

Her short visit is coming to an end, and she's already lamenting over not
being able to stay and "dig in" to yoga much in the same way that I have.
  Ben was very attentive to my mother's challenged back, and he helped her
reveal strength and opportunity that she didn't know was available to her.
  Ben also took the time to write down the steps for entering various
poses, the "Sun A" sequence, etc.  He followed by making himself available
over email as she seeks out a quality yoga studio in Knoxville.  She's all
set!

My mom had a lovely experience.  Many, many thanks!  Monique~

          

"...Like I mentioned, I have had back problems since I was 16 years old. So I have spent 1/2 of my life in pain. I have been to every conceivable practitioner from PT, Massage, Shiatsu, Acupuncture, Yoga etc. Since my back surgery in 2004, the only relief that I have received is from working with Roman. He is the only person that I have met who is an expert in the muscle mechanics of the body. He knows how the body should work and he understands, when he works with an individual, how best to develop a program to help them. "

~Robert M.

"Call me crazy or whatever but I really do enjoy working out to the cardio level. I feel like I am gradually increasing my tolerance. I almost feel like I "chicken out but just remind me to keep the discomfort level in my mind like a 7 to a 7.5. I think that I get scared because I really have never worked out to this extent ever. I used to swim a lot but it never felt like this.  You are the best......and I am glad that you are my coach."  ~Candy J.

"The workout was both fun and challenging, something that I haven't experienced in a workout since I was a kid.  I also really appreciate the changes that you made to my sun salutations - they were simple enough that I can take them with me, but made a profound change."  M.C.
