There’s nothing like letting a four-letter word rip. Feels so good.

Unless the word is “push,” “pull,” or “lift.” In that case all you’re feeling is serious post-workout pain.

Don’t swear off the gym just yet. Instead, try personal training with Stephanie Turner, the former private club trainer who’s struck out on her own.

An All-Conference tennis player at DePaul, Turner is hardwired for the whole healthy living thing. Before you even start your workout, she does a full evaluation, including gait analysis (that’s a new one), muscle testing, and body measurements, to identify (and then correct) your muscular imbalances.

Most importantly, her approach to getting you fit and strong is sane. More here’s-what-you-need-to-do-and-why, less rah-rah-you-can-do-it so typical of other trainers.

You know. The ones who make you want to tell them to f*!# off.
