Spring into action with Personal Training

With the weather warming up, it’s time to get your body into action before the summer months are upon us. Trying to lose those extra winter kilos can be tough.

One of the most proven ways to gain results is with the help of a Personal Trainer.
A Personal Trainer can help you to:

Get results faster – working with a personal trainer, provides motivation that exercising alone cannot. Having someone there to help you push through barriers is a great way to ensure you get the most out of your exercise sessions.

Save time - A trainer will design your workouts to be efficient, ensuring you don’t waste time on exercises that will not achieve your goals.

Do what’s right for you – A personal trainer will take into account your individual situation, and work with you to help you not only achieve results but to be able to maintain them in the long term.

Train safely - especially if you have any specific issues like an injury or illness. Working with an experienced trainer (who works with your doctor, of course) can help you find a program to help injuries and avoid any further problems.

Learn the right way – Another benefit of having a professional train you, is the ability to gain their knowledge in correct technique and application of exercises, minimising the risk of injury when training.

Stay motivated - especially if you need some variety in your workouts. A trainer can bring a fresh perspective and new ideas to challenge both your body and your mind.
Challenge your limits & push boundaries – A trainer can motivate you to push past those self-imposed limits, encouraging you to lift heavier, go longer and challenge yourself more than you would on your own.

Train for a specific sport or event - If you're training for a marathon, a golf tournament or some other type of sport or event, an experienced trainer can help you figure out what you need to do to stay strong without taking away from your other training.

Discover a new workout with kettlebells!

It seems in fitness training what is old is new again, with the re-introduction of Kettlebells into weight training.. Kettlebells originated in Russian army training in the 1900’s, and were incorporated into US army training when it was found they could not endure as long as their soviet counterparts

So what is a Kettlebell??
A kettlebell is a Russian type of hand weight that is shaped like a big cannonball with a handle. Often made out of pure cast iron, they are available in a wide range of weights and sizes.
Everyone can benefit from a regular kettlebell workout: from those who just want to look and feel good, to elite athletes. Primarily a kettlebell workout will develop your all-important body core – back, hips and trunk. You can also burn fat and exercise your cardio-vascular system.

Kettlebells also enable you to strengthen your arms and legs, as you use your whole body to control the kettlebell.
The overall result will be increased strength, flexibility, timing, muscle tone and general body conditioning. Elite athletes can use advanced exercises and techniques to target various muscle groups and movement patterns.

The kettlebell is very easy to use. You can start off by simply carrying a kettlebell around for a period everyday: lifting it, swinging it, passing it from hand to hand. As your strength and coordination develop you can move on to routines, exercises and heavier weights.
