What Makes CG Training Stand Out

I’m Connie Girardin, a personal trainer from Windsor, Ontario. Thanks for stopping by my blog. If you’re looking for more information about CG Training, you’ve come to the right place. 


About CG Training

After my second child was born, I ballooned and added over fifty pounds. While I wasn’t alarmed by the transformation, I felt it was necessary to get back in shape to improve my overall health. So I joined a gym, and the excess fat soon melted away.

Once I returned to my pre-baby weight, I wanted to inspire others that were going through similar battles with the bulge. I decided to qualify as a personal trainer, and once certified, I began working at Windsor Gyms in 2004.

Over the next eight years, I helped clients gain confidence in their ability to lose weight and feel better about themselves. It motivated me to set up a gym, where I could provide personalized services.

I wanted to create a cozy space where gym-goers could work out in a comfortable environment, so I set up the gym in my garage. The gym has the latest machines, along with weights, bands, balls, and cardio equipment, and I specialize in one-on-one personal training and group fitness classes.

I do most of my training from my well-located gym, and all of my group fitness classes get conducted there. I’m also available to visit clients at their homes in Essex County, Belle River, McGregor, Windsor, and Tecumseh.

I work typically from 8 am to 7 pm from Monday through Friday, and on Saturday I work till noon. 


The CG Training Difference

While tweaking plans for optimum results over the past fifteen years, I have gained valuable experience, which has helped me approach new challenges with a fresh perspective. I have realized that every client is unique but has similar goals.

Many clients are either experiencing a gym for the first time or getting back after a gap of a few years, so I try to make exercise fun and less painful for them. Many of my female members also enjoy my kickboxing fitness classes.

A lot of these women are looking to trim down the extra weight that has snuck up around their midsection and thighs. Most of these ladies are busy bringing up their kids, so I make my timings flexible. My goal is to turn my many new clients into regulars.

In this humble endeavor, I participate in the latest courses to continuously improve. I also renew my CPR certification annually, so members know that I have the ability to take care of their health and safety. 

Through my positive personality, I create a supportive group culture in every session, and I always greet clients with a happy smile. 

One of my biggest strengths is that I am not a prominent high street gym, so I have low overheads, which makes my rates affordable. I also don’t lock clients into a long-term contract which has built up my reputation for being honest and helpful.

I derive great satisfaction from assisting brides, and their mothers get in shape for the big day. Some have never worked out and suddenly can do things they never thought they could. I also have many clients that come back after a couple of years that want to lose weight again.

When I look back at the doubts I first had, I’m glad that I summoned the courage to start a home gym. There is always much uncertainty surrounding new ventures, but I have just celebrated seven years in business, which makes me incredibly proud.

In the future, I want to build on my success and become a little better known. I’m not looking to move the gym, as I enjoy being small and building a strong rapport with clients. I aim to add extra training classes so I can empower even more gym enthusiasts to reach their full potential.
