Welcome To Fitness Habit@

Fitness may mean: The state of being physically active on a regular basis to maintain good physical condition.

A habitat (Latin for “it inhabits”) is an ecological or environmental area that is inhabited by a particular animal or plant species. It is the natural environment in which an organism lives, or the physical environment that surrounds (influences and is utilized by) a species population.

My Personal Philosophy On Training

The GYM: Looking at it from an outside perspective. Going into a building to lift heavy objects and move continuously with out going anywhere, then leave.

I love training, but the whole concept is pretty weird. Gyms were great tools for improving sporting performance and are now necessary because people don’t get enough regular exercise in their daily routine to be healthy. Sedentary jobs / lifestyles and an abundance of food are ensuring the need for more and more exercise facilities.

There is no secret exercise or type of food to get in shape, only hard work and good nutrition will get you there in the end.

Working out can and should be fun! Balance, should be the Ultimate Goal!

My Role As A Personal Trainer Is To:

  1. Design and administer client specific training programs that create a desired result in body composition.
  2. Improve athletic performance whilst reducing the likely hood of injury
  3. Take into consideration the differences among individuals, including their injuries
  4. Recognizing acute and chronic responses and adaptations to training for the design of specific training programs
  5. Educate clients on the importance of training in the correct manner using safe techniques so they can safely train themselves

I believe that health, fitness and body composition is no longer a guessing game. With the right balance of exercise, nutrition, recovery and dedication anyone can achieve the fitness goals they are trying to achieve. I am dedicated to ensuring that every individual I train receives the knowledge and instruction to achieve their training goals.

My primary responsibility as a personal trainer is always to my client’s safety, health and welfare and all personal information is regarded and treated as confidential.

What is personal training?

Having a motivator who pushes you to your limits… Instructing you on correct technique through a physical session.

I do this and a whole lot more.

Every session is pre planned before you arrive.

Each client is on a specific training cycle with a training aim. Programs are modified to suite their Goals, Strengths, Weaknesses, Injuries and Flexibility etc.

Sets, Reps, Weights any difficulties through out a session are recorded. The next time I see a client they have a new session and we know what they are capable of and what to avoid.

I don’t do random and I don’t guess!

I record my own sessions and I know the importance of it. If it isn’t planned, it’s random! If it isn’t recorded, it’s guessed!

If a personal training client is in week 2 of a 4 week basic strength cycle, recording allows me to track their progress and keeps them close to maximum on each lift with every exercise variation from session to session.

If the next training cycle is a 6 week power pyramid and I’ve recorded the last training cycle weight ranges I can closely estimate the new weight ranges and make the first training session an effective one.

Research

I research injuries and postural issues of clients and structure their sessions to work around problem areas/movements and improve weakness or flexibility issues.

Sports specific training programs are researched for clients training for enhanced sporting performance.

Motivation

My motivation methods vary, I am drill instructor or an encourager depending on what my client needs and responds to.
