She’s mean, she’s lean. She’s a fitness machine and she is the superheroine who will fly into your living room and help whip your butt, your arms, and those embarrassing glutes into shape.

Her name is Diane Bourget, owner of Weights on Wheels, and even at the age of 26, her credentials are seemingly endless. Bourget holds a Bachelor’s of Science Degree in Exercise and Sport Science, has over 8 years experience in health and wellness and is a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist with the National Strength and Conditioning Association as well as a Certified Health Fitness Instructor with the American College of Sports Medicine. Most importantly, she tends to the customer’s individual needs while minding his or her budget.

Bourget comes to her clients’ homes to help them learn to take care of their bodies and their health in the comfiest of environments.

“What led me to the concept of meeting clients in their homes is the idea that people think that they don’t have time to exercise,” Bourget said. “By providing the service to people at their homes, they could reap the benefits of working with a professional in their own environment. What could be better than that?”

And one of the additional perks ~ other than Bourget’s extreme expertise and kind ways ~ is that there is no monthly gym membership fee. Many financial experts in today’s economic climate deem gym memberships as being unnecessary and costly drains on the piggy bank. Bourget teaches her clients that they are able to work out from home using simple exercises ~ such as push-ups, sit-ups, lunges and jumping rope ~ to get in shape. Who needs a Bowflex when you have a Bourget?

Bourget reminds people that no matter how hard they work that bod, they won’t achieve maximum results without taking careful note of their diets. She’s quick to suggest that her clients visit a certified dietician for the truth regarding their daily caloric intake and health needs.

But above all else, Bourget treasures safety and encourages people to ask if a physical trainer is certified before hiring him or her. “You need to know what you’re getting into,” Bourget said. “Look for someone with a degree and certifications . Unlike physical therapists, we as personal trainers don’t need certifications. Soon, that will change, but in the meantime, people need to know what they are getting into.”
