"I started with Kareem in March of last year (2005) and have not stopped training with him, because he is excellent, not only in his knowledge, but also in the interest he shows in his client to whom he adapts each and every exercise! He even makes new ones up, when others don't work, be it due to too much flexibility or an injured shoulder. Since then not only have I lost weight, but I am stronger, have a better position and knowledge of my body and feel all around better about myself. Thanks!!!!! I am moving out of the country by the end of July and have every intention of training with Kareem via his long distance coaching."  

3 months into Online Training - "I could not be happier with my fitness goal(s) lost weight 118 lbs. and stronger than ever :) am doing push-ups with each of my hands on a little ball and the legs on the bench....the ball is the next step!!! I can't believe it at times."

-Juliane Maurach

What is Long Distance Coaching? - Long Distance Coaching is an online means to receiving EXPERT ADVICE AND INSTRUCTION on exercise programming.  It was created in an effort to provide safe and effective fitness instruction all over the world.  Fitness Coaches are Gold Standard certified, Exercise Physiologists, and Doctor of Physical Therapy candidates.  They are available for hire in ONE MONTH increments.

Who Is this Good for?  - Fitness Coaching is a GREAT idea for anyone and everyone, regardless of your needs/circumstance.  However, Global Fitness LLC is a very specialized professional fitness company.  We deal almost entirely with people who have a history of a shoulder and/or back injury.  Our specialty is helping others return to fitness after having experienced too much pain/discomfort/fear of exercise to be able to return on their own.  Each and every program design will be scoped towards the individual and will implement the absolute LATEST in evidence-based fitness instruction.  Trying to lose those extra pounds, get better at your sport, become more powerful, faster, more energetic?  This is the answer! 

"After 55 years of playing golf, on June 16, 2006, I got my first hole-in-one!  I attribute my good fortune to Kareem Samhouri of Global Fitness, LLC. It was Kareem that helped me take control of my health and he helped me stretch and strengthen all of my muscles, especially the muscles needed for the game of golf.  He also helped me to develop exercises to increase my balance, especially as needed in a golf swing.  The hole-in-one came after 8 weeks of working with Kareem.  I also eagled a par 4 in August and missed another hole-in-one by less than 1/4 of an inch in July. But the real impact of my workouts with Kareem is the improvement in the status of my overall health. I've never felt better and plan to continue working out every day."

Why is buying an exercise program a better answer for some and long distance coaching a better idea for others? - Hiring a Fitness Coach allows for individual client circumstances to be thought about more precisely.  Custom programs designed by Long Distance Fitness Coaches take into consideration:

• Specific Orthopedic Injuries/Limitations
• Advanced/Elite Athletic programming designed for an individual/member of a team
• Evolution of exercise programming (with special consideration to exercise AMATEURS as well as EXPERTS)
• Personal thoughts/feelings/experiences with exercise in order to provide a program that is SAFE AND ACHIEVABLE!
