Your results reflect directly upon us and we take this very seriously, said Michael Jensen, owner of Science Fitness Personal Training. “To get a sense of what we have to offer, you need to feel it.” All it may take is one session with Jensen to realize that his motto, “train smarter,” is genuine and pervades each session. This is exemplified, in part, by access to computerized fitness assessments, a registered dietician, nutritional counseling and other unique motivational aspects. His ability to create a space where clients are encouraged to challenge — and exceed — both real and imagined limits, is worthy of note. In 2000, Jensen, a passionate and personable certified personal trainer with a degree in kinesiology, opened Science Fitness Personal Training in Kensington at 4228 & 4230 Adams Ave. On March 26, Jensen and his wife, Jill, a business and marketing guru, opened their second site in Point Loma. The grand opening included a ribbon-cutting with special guest Mayor Jerry Sanders, one of the Jensens’ satisfied clients who recently lost more than 70 pounds. Jensen, whose specialties include kickboxing and other martial art forms, was on staff at the Mission Valley YMCA. He was instrumental in developing the site’s personal training program. Given his 20-plus years of experience, Jensen envisioned a personal training center that would provide a professional scientific approach — complete with the highest caliber of individualized attention. “This type of program is essential,” he said, “to insure safety, as well as to maximize a client’s time, effort and results.” The science in Science Fitness is evident with Jensen’s insistence that his staff meet the highest possible standards. In addition to holding advanced college degrees, the business possesses national personal training certifications, specialties and years of professional experience. Science Fitness has two spacious workout areas. The energizing space resonates with natural light, contains state-of-the-art equipment, free-weights, balls, mats, all sorts of toys and cushioned areas for floor exercises and stretching. The Point Loma branch specializes in individual and partner sessions. Prices are competitive, and potential clients will discover that unlike other gyms or chain-type fitness centers, there are no enrollment or membership fees. Clients have several options, from individual half-hour or hour-long sessions, to pre-paid packets of 10, 20, 30 or 40 sessions. Working out with a partner — or two — offers multiple incentives. Not only are these sessions discounted up to 46 percent, but there is the tangible benefit of an additional support system, combined with healthy camaraderie. Jensen’s plans include franchising, and the Point Loma site, which serves the Peninsula, is one step closer to that goal. Other plans include patenting new fitness evaluation tools for balance and power. Science Fitness is located at 2790 Lytton St. For more information, call (619) 563-0333, email [email protected], or visit www.sciencefitness.net.
