Training in Wayne

Wayne is one of Passaic County's largest and most affluent townships at nearly 25 square miles, encompassing distinct neighborhoods like Packanack Lake, Preakness, and Pines Lake. The township is bisected by the Passaic River and surrounded by hills, reservoirs, and nature preserves. High Mountain Park Preserve offers challenging hiking terrain with a 885-foot summit, while the Willowbrook Mall area provides a commercial center. Wayne's suburban setting with larger lots makes it excellent for backyard and home gym training.

Wayne is a family-oriented township with a mix of established homeowners and young families. Many residents have active outdoor lifestyles centered around the lake communities and hiking trails. Clients often seek programs that build on their existing activity levels and address specific goals like strength, weight management, or injury recovery. Wayne clients are split between weekend warriors who need structured training and busy professionals at companies along the Route 23 and Hamburg Turnpike corridor.

Key Benefits

Expert Programming Without In-Person Session Costs

You get the same quality periodized programming that in-person clients receive — without paying for coached sessions. This makes expert guidance accessible for experienced trainees who do not need hands-on coaching.

Break Through Plateaus With Structured Periodization

Random workouts produce random results. Structured programming with planned volume, intensity, and exercise progressions breaks through the plateaus that stall self-programmed trainees.

Programming Matched to Your Equipment

Every exercise is selected based on what you actually have access to. Barbell-heavy commercial gym, dumbbell-only home setup, or a mix of both — the program maximizes your available tools.

Planned Recovery That Prevents Burnout

Deload weeks, autoregulated intensity targets, and intelligent volume management ensure you recover adequately between hard training phases. No more grinding yourself into the ground until you get injured or lose motivation.

Our Methodology

Trevor designs individualized programs using evidence-based periodization models that account for both strength development and movement quality. Most clients receive either a linear periodization block (beginners and early intermediates) or an undulating periodization structure (intermediates and advanced trainees) organized into four- to six-week mesocycles. Each mesocycle has a specific training emphasis — hypertrophy, strength, power, or metabolic conditioning — that feeds into the next phase logically. Programming also accounts for movement limitations: if a client has restricted hip mobility or a shoulder issue, exercises are selected or modified to work around those constraints while still driving progress.

Exercise selection follows a needs-based hierarchy. Primary compound movements are chosen first to address the client's main goals. Accessory work fills in weak points and addresses muscular balance. Every exercise has a clear reason for being in the program, every progression from week to week is planned in advance, and every exercise includes a video demonstration so you know exactly what each movement should look like. Clients receive their programs as detailed spreadsheets or through a training app. As NASM-certified trainer Trevor Cassidy explains: "Most people do not lack motivation — they lack a plan that progresses intelligently. A good program tells you exactly what to do, when to push, and when to back off — and it adapts when life throws you a curveball."

How It Works

1

Detailed Training Questionnaire

You complete a comprehensive intake form covering your training history, current lifts, goals, available equipment, training schedule, and any injuries or limitations. This gives Trevor the information needed to build a program that fits your situation precisely.

2

Custom Program Delivery

Within one week, you receive your individualized multi-week training program via spreadsheet or coaching app, complete with exercises, sets, reps, tempo, rest periods, RPE targets, and video links for any movement you may not know.

3

Independent Execution & Logging

You execute the program on your own schedule, logging your performance data. Trevor is available via messaging for questions about exercise execution, load selection, or program adjustments during the training block.

4

Program Review & Next Phase Design

At the end of each mesocycle, Trevor reviews your logged performance data and writes the next training phase. Progression decisions — volume increases, exercise rotations, intensity adjustments — are all based on how you responded to the previous block.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from online personal training?
Programming gives you the plan; online training gives you the plan plus weekly coaching. Individualized programming provides a periodized training program without the weekly check-ins, video form reviews, or nutrition guidance that come with online personal training. Programming is the right fit for experienced, self-directed trainees who know how to execute. Online training is better if you want more support, accountability, and form feedback.
How often does the program change?
Every 4-6 weeks, you get a new training phase. At the end of each block, Trevor reviews your performance data and writes updated programming with new exercises, volume, and intensity targets. This periodized approach ensures progressive overload — which the <a href="https://www.nsca.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NSCA</a> identifies as the primary driver of continued strength adaptation — while keeping your training mentally engaging.
Can you write a program for a home gym with limited equipment?
Yes, home gym programming is one of Trevor's most common requests. Adjustable dumbbells, a bench, a pull-up bar, and resistance bands can support a highly effective training program. During your intake, you list exactly what you have, and Trevor builds the programming around those tools — selecting exercises that maximize your available equipment for your specific goals.
What if I do not know how to perform an exercise in the program?
Every exercise includes a video demonstration link in your program. If you still have questions after watching the demo, Trevor is available via messaging to provide additional coaching cues, or he will swap in an alternative movement you are more comfortable with. No exercise stays in the program if you cannot execute it safely.
Do you serve all Wayne neighborhoods?
Yes, I cover all Wayne neighborhoods — Packanack Lake, Preakness, Pines Lake, Mountain View, and more. Wayne spans nearly 25 square miles, so I schedule sessions in geographic clusters on dedicated Wayne days to keep travel efficient and your appointment on time.
