Personal Fitness Trainers in Evanston Illinois
- Aga Adamczyk-Witcher

Since
early childhood, Aga has been physically active. She participated in a variety
of sports in high school and elementary school, where she was on a long distance
running team. During second year of high school, Aga suffered from a minor head
injury that kept her out of gym classes for a year. It was devastating to her
and she felt like she needed to find a new passion in her life, other than sports
and physical activities. However, that turned out to be a mistake.
During
Aga's 4 years of soul searching after high school, she mostly tried to replace
physical activity with something cerebral and safe from potential physical harm;
thus she finished a Bachelor's degree in Political Science and Mass Media. However,
the last year of college Aga realized that she has no greater passion than sports
and health. After many years of missing the enjoyment and health benefits of sports
and fitness, in February of 2005, she became a Fitness Trainer certified by International
Sports Sciences Association (ISSA). In November of that same year, Aga became
a Specialist in Performance Nutrition also provided by the ISSA. In March
of 2006, Aga worked as a fitness trainer in Calypso Health Club in Warsaw, Poland.
There she advised clients mainly in her areas of expertise, weight loss and/or
muscle building. While at Calypso, Aga also assessed new clients and created fitness
plans to target the client's specific goals. After
5 months of working at Calypso mostly with fitness, Aga moved on to expand her
knowledge in the area of health and research, what she was studying at that time.
She accepted and internship with National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology
in Warsaw, Poland. After, her internship, Aga moved back to the US where she gained
some experience in training patients with diabetes type II, one of the fastest
growing diseases.
Currently Aga is a full time masters student, with one semester
left before completing MS degree in Nutrition from University of
Bridgeport. Aside from her education endeavors, Aga exercises 5
days a week and volunteers at the local hospital in Evanston, Illinois.
She also provides free nutrition and training consultation.
Aga's
passion for fitness and nutrition is very strong and she encourages everyone around
her to make important health changes and become fit for life. Her knowledge and
drive to keep abreast of the latest health and fitness, through reading lots of
scientific literature, gives others security and comfort that they will be informed
as well. Philosophy:
Aga
believes that training and nutrition as tools to maintain good health
and well being are inseparable. Preventative medicine approach is
the key to avoidance of several major chronic diseases. There are
too many US cases of heart attacks, obesity, diabetes type II, and
hypertension, almost all of which could be prevented by diet and
exercise.
Aga believes that basic changes
can provide huge benefits. She strongly encourages people not to buy any "junk
food" because what they bring into their homes is what they end up consuming.
Arming her friends, family, and clients with some basic facts about healthy food
and making small adjustments in grocery shopping sounds simple, but people are
often surprised at how affective the basics can be. They are also amazed at how
they overlook the "out of site - out of mind" concept. Another important
issue is the elimination of bad eating habits in step-by-step manner as one is
slowing learning about new and better healthy food choices. This, plus physical
activity, is the safest and most promising approach in achieving a healthy life.
