Business Notes
Trainer can help you achieve your goals
Personal Training services
became easier to find in the
Vernonia area in February.
Teresa McMahon, NSCA-CPT,
is now available to provide per-
sonal training consultations
and services, either at Terry’s
Gym or in-home. “My goal is to
educate people to start the
process of living a healthy
lifestyle by teaching them ways
to meet their goals,” said
McMahon.
Personal training creates re-
sistance, cardio, flexibility, and
stress-management programs
tailored to the individual instead
of one-size-fits-all fitness pro-
grams.
McMahon also offers circuit
training classes, with monthly
changes to keep them fresh, at
Terry’s Gym. Circuit training
provides a good workout for
people who are self-motivated.
An assessment to give people
a starting point, without ongo-
ing training, is another way that
McMahon can help people im-
prove their fitness.
A life-long Vernonia resident,
McMahon, lives here with her
two children; Jordan (14 years
old) and Sara (12) and fiancé
John Williams. She said she
has always been into sports
and fitness. About eight years
ago, she started going to Ter-
ry’s Gym on a regular basis,
then went to PCC and earned
her associate degree in Fitness
Technology.
Since then, she has also
earned a Certified Personal
Trainer designation from the
