At-Home Personal Training Workouts: No Membership Needed

The first DeGrazio Fitness session begins with various assessments: Carmine DeGrazio watches how the client stands, squats, hinges, pushes, reaches, etc. looking for restrictions and/or musculoskeletal imbalances to address. He then reviews goals, schedule, and any history of injury before providing some potential self-myofascial, stretching, and/or strengthening techniques to address the restrictions/musculoskeletal imbalances noted on the assessments (these will be given as homework and will most likely become part of the warm-up routine for the eventual workouts created for the client). Finally, Carmine DeGrazio will begin showing the client various exercises for certain muscle groups to start the ball rolling on the creation of the client’s workout plans. Clients finish the first session with a recommended training frequency.

There is no standard schedule at DeGrazio Fitness. Carmine DeGrazio sets training frequency individually at the free consultation, based on the client’s goals, starting fitness level, schedule, and budget rather than a fixed package rhythm. Some clients train once a week and follow a written program on their own between sessions; others train more often. The plan is revisited as the client progresses.

Carmine DeGrazio is an Orthopedic Exercise Specialist and a Corrective Exercise Specialist, which means he is trained to build programs around existing pain, past injuries, and movement limitations instead of pushing through them. This is not physical therapy or medical treatment, and DeGrazio Fitness typically requires a physician’s clearance before training a client with pain or a past injury. In-home training is a common next step for people who have finished formal physical therapy and want to keep progressing safely.

Yes. DeGrazio Fitness programs are built to the client’s current fitness level, and training at home removes two of the most common barriers for beginners and older adults: a crowded gym floor and the trip to get there. Sessions can start entirely with bodyweight and light resistance and progress at whatever pace suits the client. Carmine DeGrazio’s corrective exercise background suits clients managing stiffness or limited mobility.
