“I want affordable fitness near me!”

You might relate to this:

  • I want a gym near me

  • It can’t be too expensive (maybe $20-$30?)

  • I want to get results

The truth is, if you got the results you wanted I bet you would be happy to drive further and pay more than you first thought. Luckily if you are near Virginia, Geebung, Banyo, Boondall, or drive near the Northside of Brisbane you could have all your wishes come true. personal trainer assisting another woman with a weights bar

When you ask for the best gym, who are you asking? 

If you ask:

  • a search engine they may be looking at popular sites which are big clubs or web savvy businesses or

  • great online reviews will tell you important details but are often dependant on large client numbers marketing campaigns or

  • recommendations from friends will tell you what suits them but may not work for you.

Location is important so up to a 30 minute drive is reasonable, plus you can expand to gyms enroute to your office or shopping centres or schools if you have kids. Type “personal trainer near me” or “gym near me” into your search engine and see what comes up. Check the website, reviews and social media if they have a presence. This is the first step.

Notice what is important to you.

The best gym near you will be as unique as you are. When we checked with our clients they stated the best gym had:

  • “A trainer who understood my goals and kept me accountable”

  • “Good parking”

  • “Great variety- I get bored easily”

  • “Kid-friendly so I can work out while they play”

  • “Showers so I can get to work without going home”

  • “Affordable so I can be consistent”

At Recharged Personal Training we meet all those needs (which is why they are our clients) but this may help you decide how to decide on the best gym for you.

Start at the beginning and grow.

Even a bad gym is better than not working out at all. If you aren’t sure where you want to go, try them all! Doing a casual session at three or four different gyms will save you way more money in the long run than a discount membership at a place you hate. You may decide to mix and match personal training with group fitness classes to sample a range of exercise techniques before you develop a taste for your own perfect blend.

If you are thinking about it you are ready to begin. Reach out to us and have a go, no obligations. mother and child in a gym exercising in front of a mirror

Fitness instruction needs these three things

man supervising two women using the skierg machine

There are two factors which determine the success of your fitness instruction: you and your instructor. Personal trainers are dedicated to providing balance, variety and challenge to your workout. There are lots of amazing ways to work your muscles however make sure you balance the major muscle groups. It’s also vital to keep adjusting your effort to push yourself. Here are three things your fitness instruction needs:

  1. Proper technique

The difference between an effective injury and an injury is often technique. Often there are subtle ways you need to engage your shoulders or engage your core to protect your back. Pushing through a heavy set using poor technique can even create distinctive postural defects such as “poke neck”- a jutting chicken style head alignment. Don’t waste your precious time, use a personal trainer to keep your form perfect and embed great habits!

  1. Ambition

Without clear goals you may find yourself watching the clock and waiting to leave. Use your fitness instruction to set goals and use them to hone your effort in each exercise. Doing this will yield better results physically and mentally. Your goals need to be SMART: specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. An example would be moving from a 61cm box jump to a 76cm box jump. You may work up to 76cm by using ankle weights at 61cm so that when you remove them you fly up to 76cm! Think about your goals so you are ready to share them with your personal trainer.

  1. Variety

Boredom leads to sloppy technique which leads to injury. When you are trying something new your attention naturally finds focus in technique. Good fitness instruction will balance new exercises with areas of focus so you can see gains in familiar exercises and develop strength and stamina through fresh exercises. Fitness instruction keeps you balanced in the basics while making incremental gains through targeted, novel routines. mother and child in a gym exercising in front of a mirror

Outsource your planning and guard against injury with a personal trainer! For as little as $25 a session (3-to-1) you could be hitting your potential next week!
