If you hear someone say they want to ‘shred’ or ‘get toned’ they are talking about lean muscle. Lean muscle is muscle with very little fat around it, creating a more defined muscle shape (less padding!). If you want ripped (visible) abdominal muscles or bulging biceps you need to build the muscle underneath through weights AND maximise visible definition through a strict diet. There is no such thing as spot training, it takes low overall body fat to achieve muscle definition and show off ‘lean muscle”.

The secret to looking toned…

The quickest way to look toned is… dehydration. Bodybuilders and models often achieve their idealised look through very brief periods of dehydration for competition or a photo shoot before going back to more realistic water and food consumption.

WE DO NOT RECOMMEND DEHYDRATION.

Save yourself the headache and false impression of fitness- choose a path of moderation to increase muscle mass and decrease body fat. We can tailor you a program of personal training and group fitness classes to have your muscles working hard to build that lean tissue complemented with cardio to burn fat. Drink as much water as you like!

Feeling good is better than looking good (and you can have both).

Forget the artificial staging, complicated studio lighting and manufactured perfection of athletic magazines and Instagram hotties. You could look the same with a photographer, a bottle of bronzer and some editing software. At Recharged we keep it real with fun workouts for everybody, every week so your head, heart and body are in sync. Feeling good about the positive things you do with your body will naturally lead to more motivation to keep up great habits. Join our positivity revolution!

Which workout will suit me?

You can see the variety we offer but which option is right for you? Have a look at these client profiles and see if you can relate:

• Reluctant but ready: you might have had a health scare or feel the weight of poor health holding you back from happiness. We understand. Starting with a personal trainer once a week is the most gentle way to build confidence and stay motivated to continue a new program. We will build up your major muscle groups with weights and slowly turn up the dial on cardio until your step gets the pep you are looking for!
  Recommendation: personal training

• Fit, focussed and short on time: you have the energy and motivation but need to get the best out of your body. You want an expert to make sure your technique is tight, you are making gains and new challenges are set and met on the regular. You don’t have time to mess around and know when you stride through the door, the session is ON!
  Recommendation: personal training and HIIT group fitness.

• Variety is everything: You’ve tried yoga, running, cycling, swimming, team sports, home workouts, phone apps and social clubs. You love variety and novelty so eventually you tire of the one activity and want to move on to something new!
  Recommendation: personal training and group fitness class pass.

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.

Boxercise

Want toned arms, high endurance and the hyper focus of an athlete? Join our Boxercise group fitness class for the best exercise classes to pump up your cardio and add lean, toned muscles to your 2022 look. We move through a circuit of high intensity activities that you can tailor to your ability while sweating to fresh beats in our friendly studio. 

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!
