Personal Training for Weight Loss
Get Moving and Get Out of Pain
We help you to move more and to move better. Our focus is to set a foundation for quality movement patterns that will reduce pain and help to prevent future injury as you get stronger and workouts get harder.
feeling better
Muscle is active tissue and can build a fire that will burn calories and fat! We stoke the fire and get your metabolism working for you. The keys here are increasing activity strategically while ensuring nutrition is balanced, sleep, and recovery is balanced with the increased demands on your body.
Feel Better
With less pain and now moving more, you feel better and become more active in your day-to-day life. Here we begin asking you to perform active rest sessions in-between training days. You’re feeling better and get to carry this momentum forward onto greater challenges.

Maintaining Your Goals
For most it takes 6 months to 1 year or more to reach their weight loss goals. We recommend setting a goal to lose 1% of your bodyweight per week until your body fat is below 19% for men or 27% for women. Remember that the scale is not the only way to measure your progress and it can be quite deceiving. We measure your progress by changes in clothing sizes, fat %, weight, and strength.

Weight Loss Q&A
Why is Strength Training Better than Cardio for Weight Loss?
Strength training builds and activates the muscle. Muscle is active tissue that burns calories regardless of whether it is in use or not. Increasing your muscle mass will increase your Basal Metabolic Rate.
Increasing your Basal Metabolic Rate can mean going from needing 1200 calories minimum per day to needing 1800 calories minimum per day. This is regardless of whether you exercise or not that day.
Cardio only burns calories when you are exercising. A very challenging cardio workout burns 500 calories in 1 hour. Building muscle can mean your body burns 500 more calories per day without exercise.
So you choose, 1 hour of hard exercise daily to burn calories or build muscle overtime that burns 500 calories each day without even moving a muscle.
How long does it take to reach my goal weight?
We aim for 1% of your body weight lost each week. So if you weigh 200 lbs and want to get to 160 lbs that are 40 lbs to lose at 2 lbs per week or 20 weeks (5 months).
Weight loss will not be in a straight line but 1% per week on average is achievable for most and will help to prevent you from gaining all the weight back after you finish your program.
What are the common reasons GoTherex clients want to lose weight?
Common reasons include:
- Preparing for a Wedding or Honeymoon
- Gaining weight following bariatric surgery
- Back and Knee Pain due to excess weight
- Weight Gain due to Illness
- Difficulty playing with their children or grandchildren
- Have a goal of running a 10k or seeing their abs again
Why will this work when everything else I've tried has failed?
Losing weight for good is about developing habits and a lifestyle that is that of someone at your goal body weight or body fat percentage.
It takes time (6 months or more) and it’s challenging. Losing weight for good takes tremendous discipline and self-control.
Most weight loss programs will teach you to lose weight fast using short cheats that will create change but are not long-lasting.
GoTherex will take time. Time is what you will need to make this new lifestyle a habit that you enjoy and look forward to. You may even find you like foods your never imagined liking more than your old favorites, you might even enjoy exercising for the first time in your life and look forward to workouts!

Matt was a wonderful physical therapist and I’m not just saying that! He’s professional, caring, and informative. He gives you suggestions and helpful exercises to make sure you prevent your accidents and pain from recurring. I would recommend him to anyone!
Mike
Matt has not only trained me, but taught me how to do these exercises properly, be careful with my nutrition and just give me an overall great workout.
Jessica
Matt Reuschle set me up on a workout program in August of 2020 and I have been working with him ever since. I feel the best I ever have. I have been exercising my whole life off and on but Matt’s program has made more of a difference in just a few months. I highly recommend him to my family and friends all the time.
