Where’s the best personal trainer near me?!

Strength training involves using resistance (weights) to build muscle and increase strength. It’s often associated with bodybuilding or athletes, but in reality, weight training is beneficial for people of all ages, from teenagers to seniors. A personal trainer is the best person to set you up with a tailored workout and guide you through technique. Here are some of the many reasons why weight training is beneficial for all ages.

Top 5 reasons to go heavy

1. Builds and maintains muscle mass

As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass. This can lead to weakness, falls, and other health problems. Weight training helps to build and maintain muscle mass, which can improve balance, coordination, and overall physical function. It can also help to prevent muscle loss as we age.

2. Boosts metabolism

Muscle is more metabolically active than fat, meaning it burns more calories at rest. By building more muscle through weight training, you can boost your metabolism and burn more calories throughout the day. This can be especially helpful for older adults who may be struggling with weight gain and a slower metabolism.

3. Improves bone density

Weight training places stress on your bones, which stimulates them to grow stronger and denser. This can be especially important for older adults who may be at risk for osteoporosis and bone fractures. By improving bone density through weight training, you can reduce your risk of fractures and maintain independence as you age.

4. Reduces risk of chronic diseases

Regular weight training has been shown to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and certain types of cancer. It can also improve cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and insulin sensitivity. These benefits are not just limited to older adults – weight training can help people of all ages maintain optimal health.

5. Improves mental health

Exercise is known to have many mental health benefits, including reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression. Weight training in particular has been shown to improve mood, reduce stress, and increase self-esteem. This can be especially important for older adults who may be dealing with loneliness, isolation, and other mental health challenges.

And a bonus reason (we are all about extras)

6. Enhances athletic performance

Weight training is not just beneficial for older adults – it’s also essential for athletes of all ages. By building strength and power through weight training, athletes can improve their performance in sports and reduce their risk of injury. This is true for both recreational athletes and those competing at a high level.

Don’t wait to do weights!

Weight training is beneficial for people of all ages. It can help to build and maintain muscle mass, boost metabolism, improve bone density, reduce the risk of chronic diseases, enhance mental health, and enhance athletic performance. Whether you’re a teenager just starting out or a senior looking to maintain independence, weight training should be an essential part of your fitness routine.

Recharged Personal Training is ready to train you.

Finding workout motivation is a struggle for most of our clients at first. Often the underlying reason is more subtle than the excuse provided. Some of our top excuses and the simple rebuttals are:

• I’m too tired -> exercise will increase energy and improve sleep.
• I don’t have time -> commit to a regular routine (your session times can change but at least 2 workouts a week) and time will fold itself around this commitment.
• I’m sick/ injured -> most workouts can be adapted to support injuries and improve your recovery. If you are temporarily sick, you’ll get better or if you have a chronic illness our private studio is the most hygienic way to keep fit and reduce exposure to germs.

Over 15 years in business has proven that Recharged clients rarely get sick and when they do it’s not for long. Excuses are based in fear:

• Fear that changes will be hard.
• Fear that you won’t live up to your own expectations.
• Fear that once you see change happening, you can’t deny that the effort is worth the reward.

We know that starting is hard and consistency is vital which is why Recharged Personal Training has some ingenious policies to keep your workout motivation alive.

Using psychology to leverage workout motivation.

The biggest barrier to your success is your own mind. In the midst of physical effort, you will tell yourself it’s too hard and you can’t do it. This will subliminally limit you when your actual maximum potential hasn’t been met. 

To overcome this, Recharged Personal trainers use the social connection of our clients to lift the ceiling on their effort. We use strategies such as:

• Monthly challenges to focus clients on a single task (e.g. maximum push-ups) to show incremental improvements. The leader board will show who is at a similar level and motivate clients to improve on their last result and edge ahead of the others.
• 24 hour cancellation policy to reduce last minute cancellations. A business coach who specialises in personal training suggested a 24 hour cancellation policy to reduce the late evening and early morning ‘sick’ cancellations. We take illness seriously and ask clients to stay home if unwell however most cancellations within 24 hours are avoidance. Removing that excuse has significantly improved client attendance and results. We don’t mess around- you deserve the fitness your higher self is chasing.
• Late arrival group consequences make your mistake everyone’s responsibility. We used to make late clients do one burpee for every minute they were late i.e 13 minutes equals 13 burpees. Our clients would accept this a little too readily. Now if a client is late, the other clients at the gym have to do the burpees. This may seem diabolical however it is far more effective at ensuring you arrive on time. We may be brutal but great results don’t come easily!

Let us be the workout motivation you are looking for.

Personal trainers are cost effective, accountable coaches to ensure your physical effort is backed up by your mental focus. When your only job is to arrive at the studio on time, you relieve yourself of the mental load and inner fight. The savings on a weekly gym membership are lost when you spend the week battling your own excuses. We accept no excuses! Sign up today and relax into the health and fitness you’ve been chasing.

Fitness hacks are strategies you can use to improve your workouts. Sometimes they are techniques like how to position your elbows during tricep pushdowns (tuck and lock them). Sometimes fitness hacks are ways to balance your workout such as alternating between upper body (arm-day) and lower-body (leg-day). However, there is one fitness hack ALL personal trainers use: accountability.

Showing up is the #1 struggle.

Consistency is the key to any workout. It doesn’t matter if you lift weights, Zumba, ballroom dance or do synchronised swimming. If you examine the routine of any fit person, you will see a dedicated lifestyle spanning years of consistent effort. Don’t feel disheartened if that hasn’t happened for you! Our magic word is ‘yet’.

Personal trainers begin with the habit of showing up to a dedicated session. When you book in at our studio, you have two people showing up to support your fitness goals: us and you. We know you already feel guilty when you don’t meet the activity and health goals you set for yourself. We transfer that guilt to the guilt of not showing up to a session where you develop your strength, empower your will and receive the health benefits of a strong and active body. Our trainers will text you the day before to remind you of your session and we do not accept cancellations within 24 hours. This is to support your commitment to the sessions and shut-down the last minute “I’m too tired” feeling. It will pass.

Fitness hacks become lifelong habits.

If you are ready to make the change and move the guilt out of your life, we can help. Book in for a studio tour and let us make the effort with you. It only takes a few weeks of showing up consistently to see and feel the difference a regular routine can make. We won’t let life get in the way of making your commitment become the results you are chasing.

The first step is turning up. Do that every week and the rest will take care of itself.

Message Recharged Personal Training to hack into your new life.

Are you looking to lose weight, build muscle or feel fantastic and suspect the question you need to ask is “What should I eat?”. Recharged Personal Training is running a second nutrition seminar with lead trainer Bryce after the demand following his first one. His seminar will:

• Explain the relationship between calories and macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats, protein)

• Outline how to manipulate your macronutrients to lose weight or build muscle

• Highlight how alcohol is metabolised and how to account for it when meal planning

• Explain the top three barriers to managing or maintaining a healthy body composition (often mislabeled as ‘weight’)

• Answer your specific question and help you establish a personal strategy to eat what you need AND what you want.

Nutrition + exercise + sleep: the boring trio of health!

If eating well, exercising and getting enough sleep were easy then we’d be out of a job! Rather than hear the same information you already know, Bryce will use his years of experience to highlight where you might self-sabotage and how he’s worked with clients to educate (or trick) themselves into better habits. Examples include:

• Do you love ice cream/ beer/ Netflix? Link your favourite thing with a less enjoyable task and create a lifelong habit. Make it the reward after a 30 minute walk.

• Need to drink more water? Set a timer every two hours, grab a glass of water and allow yourself a social media chill out for the time it takes to drink the glass.

• Starving all day then binging on chips, cheese and chocolate at night? Come along to the seminar to hear how a few breakfast habits will prevent evening regrets.
