Q:  Please take a minute to introduce yourself.  What is the name of your business and what do you do?

A:  My name is Jaylynn Hayes. I am the owner of DFW's #1 rated mobile gym/personal training business. I help busy individuals reclaim and maintain their health and fitness. The most rewarding thing about what I do is in the work itself. The feeling of being able to provide a service that eliminates nearly all obstacles surrounding health and fitness, and seeing the effect that has on my clients lives is indescribable.

Q:  What sets your program apart from others?

A:  Our unique training model separates us from all other personal training services in Texas. We bring our state-of-the-art mobile gym directly to our clients homes. VERSAGYM prioritizes the client and aims to make working out as convenient as possible to ensure consistency and results. With our per household pricing, the entire family can join each and every workout for no additional cost. 

Q:  How often should someone workout each week?

A:  We recommend clients have us visit their home at-least 2x per week. Our trainers will also provide workouts via the VERSAGYM Virtual Training App for the days we do not meet. Most often, we recommend each client to engage in cardiovascular and resistance training at a minimum of 3-4 days per week to ensure the body is stimulated adequately.

Q:  Is strength training or cardio better in the later stages of life?

A:  While many people believe cardio based exercises are the fountain of youth, studies have shown muscle is the organ of longevity. Someone who is overweight with sufficient muscle mass is likely in better health than someone who is low in body fat, but also lacking muscle mass. The more muscle tissue you have, the longer your life expectancy. However, cardio is still important for heart and lung health. Each of our workouts combines weight training with cardio by shortening rest periods and exercising at a high intensity level for short bouts. People of all ages, but especially elderly should engage in a combination of resistance and cardiovascular training.

Q:   What things should I be asking or looking for when considering a personal trainer or fitness program?

A:  When looking for an exercise program or trainer, there are a few things to keep in mind and boxes that must be checked. Does the trainer practice what they preach? Do they look the part? Do they record your progress via measurements, workout logs, and progress pictures? Do they stress how important nutrition is and how you will see little to no results until that is in check? Many trainers use cookie cutter workouts to save time versus tailoring each session to the clients needs. Your plan should be custom to you and adapted each session based on how you're feeling and how the body is responding. Find one you click with and one that cares just as much about you reaching your goals as you do.

Q:  What ages of clients do you typically work with?

A:  We service clients of all ages. Our typical demographic is ages 30-75, but it is very common for children of our clients to join due to our "per household" pricing model. We have worked with youth doing sports enhancement, bariatric patients, elderly, and even professional athletes. 

Q:  What are recommended things you can do in between workouts to still move your body?

A:  To speed up workout recovery, or just to stay active, we recommend walking, finding a physically demanding hobby, or doing a much lower intensity version of the workout that made you sore. Being overly sedentary is the worst thing you can do for soreness and between workouts. We ask our clients to always park far from wherever they go, take the stairs versus the elevator, and to break up long periods of sitting with a short walk or some sort of movement. Making sure to rehydrate, replace electrolytes, consume carbohydrates, and to stretch will help speed up the process as well so you can get back to making progress as soon as possible.
