If you search for “best personal trainer” or “personal fitness trainer near me” you will end up trying to decide from a website and some online photos if the gym will get results when the real person behind the results is YOU! You may not have your fitness recipe for success yet however you will know what you like to do with your body, what you hate and where you want your fitness journey to take you. You need a personal fitness trainer who will take the understanding you already have about yourself and develop a tailored plan to make your workouts work.

Results = effort + enthusiasm x consistency

Your body and mind are like siblings- they work together until they don’t and then fights start. If you want to stick to a fitness program you need to be honest with your personal trainer about what exercises you like, what you hate and the objections and excuses your mind will throw at you. Guess what? We’ve heard them all and they are valid. Our job is to get you through the door and let your body convince you that you made the right choice. Which it will (but not till the end of the workout). Stop fighting with your mind and body and let us gang up on them with you!

“Can you make me look like <insert ideal person here>?”

No. And we wouldn’t if we could. Positive mental health is as important as physical health and chasing the physique of someone else won’t bring you that. Instead we will work with you to feel fitter, stronger and more energised which will be far more rewarding than chasing a fake ideal. Your body does an amazing job getting you through the day and we want to make that machine even more powerful. Your personal trainer will make sure your cardio and strength are challenged in a personalised routine with enough consistency to see results and enough variety to stop you getting bored.

“How do I choose the best personal fitness trainer near me?”

The best way to choose a personal fitness trainer is to meet them and have a frank discussion about your goals. You will quickly decide if they are the right fit and if you like the atmosphere of the gym or studio. Ideally you want to see your personal trainer consistently for six to twelve months so try at least three different gyms before you choose your personal trainer. Then stick with it and discover how easy it was to reach those fitness dreams.

Energise HIIT

This is the ‘go hard’ style of class where short, intense bursts of activity with regular rests means you push your body to the limit and get the maximum result for your efforts. HIIT stand for High Intensity Interval Training which means between 20 seconds to 1 minute of activity and then a short break before another burst of hardcore training. This is the best exercise class to get your heart rate high and your endorphins higher!

Vinyasa Yoga

A successful fitness routine is all about balance and if you are going hard in our exercise classes then you need to be stretching those muscles to maximise flexibility and recovery. Our Vinyasa instructor uses your breath to lead your body in deep relaxation and release. This is a vital counterpoint to the lactic acid build up you receive from our other more strength based classes. Don’t think it will be easy though! Vinyasa is a flowing yoga so balance and precision are vital. Luckily you will be supported by your instructor through each transition. 

Sign up for our exercise classes and make the new year feel good!

One of our clients had a friend who was wondering “when is the best time to contact the personal trainer near me?”. It might seem like a strange question but her reasoning was that there was no point starting personal training before the holidays. In fact, that is the best time to start! The weeks before and after Christmas are filled with food and cheer, however your body can start to feel a bit unhappy by New Years. Just one workout a week could help you keep your holiday stamina going and set you up for a healthy 2022!

The best cure is prevention: stay active!

We are all waiting to see what happens with COVID variants and booster vaccinations. The sad reality is that the very old, inactive and unhealthy, those with pre existing health issues and the very ill are the most vulnerable to viruses and infections. One of the best things you can do to protect yourself and your loved ones is eat nutritious, fresh food and lead an active lifestyle. The greatest gift you can give to yourself and those around you is not an elf on the shelf, it’s a personal trainer! You can choose one on one, two on one or three on one so everyone gets a turn and stays motivated.

A personal trainer near me won’t fit under the tree!

You might have trouble wrapping our team and fitting us under the tree however we do have some more practical ways to give health and happiness to your loved ones. Our 10 class pass is $100 ($10 a class!) and gets you access to all our group fitness classes. Or call or email with some days and times you want to get started and we can give you one of our stylish flyers to pop into a Christmas stocking as a surprise.

The best time to contact a personal trainer is always NOW!

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?
