Do some people have workout motivation and some people don’t? How do you get motivated if it’s the last thing you want to do? Are personal trainers freaks of nature who just naturally want to push their bodies every day? You may sometimes feel like you are not cut out to stick to a workout routine but I promise you that the answer to consistent workouts is easier than you think. Try a few of our time-tested strategies and before you know it, you’ll be pumped for your daily workout and on-track to be our client of the month!

Motivation vs habit.

Motivation is working yourself up to follow through with an action. A habit is something you do regularly without thinking about it. Which sounds easier to you? Pick a time of day and an activity (running, walking, yoga, exercise app- it doesn’t matter) and set your alarm. Now keep this up for 6 weeks and presto! You have your exercise habit locked in.

Mini mental steps.

 

What are you thinking about when you work up to your exercise of choice? If you are imagining the struggle you have already started to psych yourself out! Break it into small steps: put on socks, put on shoes, set up the video/ app/ bike. Break the activity into the small steps you need to do and tackle them one at a time. Before you know it you are halfway through your run without a second thought!

Don’t disappoint!

 

It’s easy to talk yourself out of a workout so lock your motivation in by recruiting a mate! If you make plans to work out with a friend you have to show up or you are letting them down too. If you can’t find someone to work out with you can enlist a personal trainer. We have heard every excuse under the sun and know how to call out the lies and uncover the real barriers (fear, discomfort, boredom). Let us keep you accountable and set you up in the good habit you need to stay on track.

Your workout motivation starts today- just give us a call!

HIIT workout stands for High Intensity Interval Training. This means bursts of intense activity followed by a short cool down and then repeat. The idea is to quickly find your limit and briefly stay there, then recover and try again. This type of exercise works well for people who are wanting to build endurance, burn calories, increase cardiovascular fitness and add a diverse exercise program to their workouts.

What does a HIIT workout look like?

You can tailor a HIIT workout at home to your personal fitness goals or find a trainer or circuit group who have a workout mapped out for you. The goal in HIIT is to find your limit as quickly as possible and try to stay there or push past it. This might mean punching with dumbbells for 60 seconds until your arms fatigue. It might mean short distance sprints (extra points if it’s up a hill!). You may be doing a few heavy reps on the leg press with a short break, then try again. The activity might change, the intensity remains!

Can I do HIIT workouts with Recharged Personal Training?

We have two options for anyone interested in HIIT workouts. You may decide to try a HIIT workout in one of our group fitness classes. Our friendly crew of regulars will make you feel welcome and all technique is demonstrated prior to the workout, with a trainer supervising to make corrections. Once you fall in love we can team you up with a personal trainer for a tailored, private HIIT workout in our studio.

Discover HIIT workouts with our experienced team.

Our studio in Virginia on the Brisbane northside is the perfect set-up to get the most out of your workout for the least expense. Value for money relies on you getting outcomes from the service. A $10 weekly super gym isn’t a good deal if you don’t turn up, or your workouts aren’t pushing you to your limit. Likewise a home gym with a shiny multipurpose weights rig or top of the line peloton needs you using it regularly to pay off. By choosing a personal trainer you get the best value from your hard earned dollar because we make sure you turn up and do the work.

What to look for in a Brisbane gym.

Ideally you want an exciting mix of cardio and weights to keep your heart rate up and build muscle fibres. Our studio offers:

Cardio: stationary bikes, assault bike, skierg, watergrinder, skipping ropes, stair runs.

Weights: free weights, benches, mix of weight machines, leg press.

Body weight: bands, walls, abdominal tower, straps, benches, bosu, half bosu.

In big gyms you need instruction on how to safely use much of this equipment and at home you may not have the space or want to invest in such a variety of equipment. Let us keep you interested with our varied workouts!

How to choose your Brisbane gym.

Location and availability are going to be the two main factors to consider. Price is relative to value so hopefully you can see the advantage of a personal trainer (we do fitness classes too). Our studio is on a side street off Sandgate Rd and offers on street and off street parking. Our shower facilities make it easy to sneak in a workout before and after work or on a lunch break. Contact us to see if we have time available which suits you!

Choose our studio and let your body thank you afterwards!

 

Finding a personal trainer who suits your temperament is a mixture of luck and locality. Some trainers are an easy choice because they specialise in something you love, however others may be the perfect fit for you even though on first meeting it seems you have little in common. The magic of finding the right trainer comes down to turning up, communicating openly and seeing if the results are worth it! However some people just prefer a specific gender and that’s fine- we do not get offended. If you are looking for a female personal trainer then you can’t do better than TC.

Sweet, kind and ruthless: You can’t be mad, though!

TC is originally from America however we promise she’s one of the good ones! Her bubbly personality and friendly approach is supported by a rigorous athletic background. You can read all about her training philosophy and achievements here, but trust us when we say she’s a bullet with butterfly wings. Her lethal workouts feel like heaven while you are doing them but the next day you will feel muscles you didn’t even know were there! If you’ve ever watched a social media advertisement using resistance bands and a peachy butt then save yourself the hard work at home by letting TC get you there.

Feel comfortable with a female trainer. 

Sometimes you just feel more comfortable working hard and making those gym faces with a female trainer- we get it! Our small studio is an inclusive, non judgmental environment with changing and shower facilities, strict COVID hygiene protocols and a range of one-on-one sessions or group fitness classes to suit your schedule. To secure a spot with TC, call or email us to set up a studio tour and see if we can find a time to work for you. It only takes one session a week to start you on a life-changing fitness transformation.

Boxing classes are not designed to turn you into a prize fighter! Rather, they steal techniques from the world’s top athletes to hone your strength and cardio fitness with a holistic program. The functional fitness of boxing requires agility, endurance and explosive power, united in the coordination of major muscle groups. If you want lean, strong arms combined with a tight core, then it’s time you tried a boxing class at Recharged Personal Training.

Boxing is a short struggle for a long reward

Ever find your arms get tired just from hanging out the washing? Or you get puffed walking up a hill? How about the heavy jiggle of your gut as you jog down the stairs? These are everyday experiences that can be transformed with our high-intensity boxing classes. We promise we won’t break you! Our precision circuit works your upper and lower body in tandem through your core. The stamina you build in class will make the rest of your week seem like a breeze. For as little as $10 a class (with our 10-class pass) you can be a lean, keen, fitness machine!

I’m a lover not a fighter!

Boxing isn’t about aggression, however, if you had a bad day at work we promise you’ll feel better after a session! When you work your cardiovascular system using high-intensity training, and give yourself breaks with intervals, the endorphins flood through your system! And the everyday benefits don’t stop there. If you want to have the most delicious drink you’ve ever tasted, then bring a water bottle along (these are a must) and take a slug at the end of the class. You won’t believe you bottled heaven from the tap! Join our friendly crew and make a 45-minute class the capstone of your week.
