How did you become a personal trainer? What other careers have you contemplated?

I always had an interest in fitness from a young age. I am heavily involved in playing football (also known as soccer). I was working as a mechanic and decided to study personal training. During my mechanic apprenticeship I did some part-time PT and once I’d finished the apprenticeship I decided to jump to full-time personal training! I started personal training back in 2013. I have always been passionate about fitness and enjoy helping people reach their goals.

What has been your biggest fitness/sporting moment?

For me, my biggest fitness moments are shared with clients when I witness them achieve their long-term goals or overcome an obstacle they may face. It is very rewarding to see all their hard work come to fruition.

What has been your most challenging physical experience?

Coming back to fitness after a knee ligament tear.

How do you motivate clients who are struggling to complete/ commit to a workout?

Finding out their ‘why’ and using this to build clear goals and encourage them on the way.

What have you learnt in your years of training other people?

I believe I have learnt how to communicate with different personalities and age brackets. I’ve also developed different strategies to deal with, and improve on, injuries while still progressing towards fitness goals.

Who is your fitness idol? Why?

Steven Gerrard. I’m a massive football and Liverpool fan. Gerrard played at the highest level and always scored important goals. He is now proving to be a successful coach, too.

What is one exercise/skill you wish you could do/have?

More flexibility.

Recharged Personal Training is a tight team of trainers who live fit and active lives in tandem with you. Choose a personal trainer who you like but who also trains in a way you respond to. Today we are talking with Gary about his fitness journey.

How did you become a personal trainer? What other careers have you contemplated?

I’ve always been a lover of sport and fitness. At the age of 20, while driving a courier truck for a construction supply company I heard a radio ad for he Australian Institute of Fitness. Within a week I was enrolled in a 12-month full-time course.

What is your biggest fitness/sporting moment?

Running a marathon was one of the most physically and mentally demanding moments of my life. So after three of them in consecutive years I needed a break from them. Five years later, I’ve signed up for my fourth in mid 2021.

What has been your most challenging physical experience? 
Marathons.

How do you motivate clients who are struggling to complete/ commit to a workout?

Building trust in each other. Our clients start on all different fitness levels and we need to train at different intensities. After a few weeks of regular exercise we find the sessions begin to flow well, one our clients get an understanding of what we’re about, and their induvial fitness/ strength can handle it.

What have you learnt in the last 12 years of training other people?

Every person is different, and every person has something they are dealing with in life. Exercise and feeling good within yourself helps them face adversity. Consistency is key with becoming fitter, stronger and healthier. Maintaining a safe, clean and professional space for all of our clients makes everyone feel like they can be themselves and never judged. May of our clients a nervous when they begin this journey, so we make sure they feel welcomed right away.

Recharged Personal Training cost $60 for 45 minutes if you want a tailored 1 on 1 session in our private studio. You can team up with a friend or partner and do a 2 on 1 session (two clients and one trainer) for $35 each. We also offer 3 on 1 sessions for $25 each for a truly affordable session without compromising on technique and focus. If you are beginning a new fitness program, Recharged Personal Training recommends an initial 12-week period of 2 sessions a week to get your body accustomed to the program. You can then drop back to 1 session and supplement with our group classes or a home workout routine.

What makes up personal trainer prices?

Price and value have an interesting relationship with fitness. A gym membership may sell itself as $15 a week however if you don’t get out of bed, how much are you really saving? Personal training delivers one-on-one personal accountability. You book the time, you follow the instructions, you leave stronger and fitter every time. Unlike home gyms, the equipment in our studio is professional quality and well maintained. Unlike super gyms, we watch and guide you through the exercise program so your posture and performance stays in the challenge zone. Without micro adjustments you can easily injure yourself or plateau in a comfortable but boring program. Work harder and smarter with our tailored personal training!

Are personal trainers expensive?

Value is a relative concept! If I told you it costs just $60 to feel strong, sleep well and feel proud of yourself I’m sure you’d want to know more. A $10 bottle of wine or tub of ice cream makes feel-good promises but doesn’t deliver week after week! We want you to feel great about your session before, during and after. When you decide to start your training program we will work hard to meet your budget. This might mean teaming you up with a 3 on 1 training program to keep costs down to start with or you might decide that a 1 on 1 session and a 10-class pass for our group fitness classes is the best value. The investment of better sleep, more energy and a healthier body quickly justifies the high quality service you receive. Don’t sleep on it, start your new life today!

Bring your best excuses to us at the studio- we are ready!

There is one foolproof method to getting fit in 2021: it’s exercise. You need to do a little bit as often as possible. 30 minutes three times a week is better than 2 hours once a fortnight. You know this!

Did you know the 3 ways personal trainers get results?

Using a personal trainer offers 3 times the value of working out by yourself. The reasons are:

• You will work harder. Your trainer will always push you harder than you push yourself. Having a safe, experienced professional oversee your workout means you’ll get an extra few reps when you need them. You are also protected from injury as your form is corrected by a second set of eyes.

• External accountability. If you have someone waiting for you, you turn up. No matter how tired or annoyed or over it you might feel, I promise the days you have training will be your most consistent exercise schedule. The most well-intentioned New Year’s fitness plan will mostly look like a downhill slope. Skip the fantasy and book in reality with us!

• Results. Probably the most motivating force behind personal training is that it gets results. If you begin a workout plan now, even if you start doing zero push-ups you’ll be doing at least 5 by mid-year. Once your energy improves, lifestyle and diet changes become easier to manipulate. What are you waiting for?

Set a goal and see the results for yourself.

The best fitness goals are SMART goals:

• Specific: what change do you want to see? Increased strength? Endurance? Weight loss? Increased skills in a particular sport?

• Measurable: Will it look like increased weights on specific exercises? Longer endurance or faster speed on the rowing machine? Cm’s lost around the waist? Let us know so we can track, measure and work with you.

• Attainable: what is your current fitness benchmark and what are reasonable improvements? Reducing time or increasing weights are reasonable. Making the team for the next Olympics may be a bit ambitious (or maybe not!).

• Relevant: If you don’t want to lose weight, don’t make it a goal. Your goals are personal however share them with us to make sure we are tailoring your fitness program accordingly.

• Time-bound: Stay accountable with regular check-in’s. Ideally you have 3, 6 and 12 month fitness goals we can work towards and celebrate when they are achieved.

If you want to see the impressive changes a dedicated fitness regime can yield, let us help you set the benchmark and track your improvements.

If you aren’t getting targeted ads for resistance bands, you will now. These training bands are stretchy latex or fabric you can use to get targeted, deep muscle workouts. With the correct technique your workouts produce a deep burn and targeted strength workout to condition your body using precise movements. 

How do I get started with training bands?

There are lots of videos and websites outlining how to use resistance bands. You can easily patch together some exercises you like and create a total body workout which may or may not suit you. OR you can outsource the expertise and experience to establish a good workout routine to our resistance band star, TC!

TC uses training bands to build strength for her clients since before they were Insta-cool. She is our perky American trainer who distracts you from the burn with her charm while you push out 5 more reps than you knew had. Her expert eye can spot improper posture and correct sloppy technique without throwing you off the last few reps. Start your resistance band workout with the best habits!

Build your technique and tone your training

The first eight weeks of a training schedule are vital. If you are about to buy training bands or already have resistance bands which you aren’t using, why not book a session with TC to get started. She will guide you through a personalised workout to establish correct technique and you can continue to workout at home, using the tailored program. For $60 dollars a week (or less if you team up with a friend) you could be building peachy glutes and strong shoulders by next week!
