BENEFITS OF PERSONAL TRAINING

Why is strength Training important?

Strength training goes beyond lengthening our lifespan – it extends our quality of life.

Understanding the role of strength and bone density as you age.

As you age, maintaining muscle density and bone strength becomes crucial not only for your health but for staying strong, capable and energetic.

Did you know what 30-60 minutes of strength training/week can achieve? Studies have demonstrated that it lowers risk and mortality of major non-communicable diseases by as much as 20%. Read about this meta-analysis here. These benefits can be achieved as quickly as 3-6 months by training only once or twice each week.

Going beyond cardio to build true strength.

Many turn to cardio for fitness, but to truly feel and look strong, a well-rounded strength training regime is essential. If you’ve been diligently doing cardio without seeing the desired results in strength and body composition, it’s time to rethink your approach.

Researchers have found that a well-rounded exercise program, including both strength and aerobic exercise, was the most effective intervention to combat sarcopenia (age-related progressive loss of muscle mass and strength).

FAQ

The consultation is a 20-30-minute conversation. It’s a chance for us to get to know you, and for you to get a feel for how we work.

We’ll chat about:

  • Your goals and why now feels like the right time

  • Any past training experience or injuries

  • Your schedule and availability

  • What kind of support or coaching style works best for you

From there, we’ll help match you with a trainer who’s a great fit. If you come in person, you’ll also get a tour of the gym so you can see the space and the atmosphere firsthand.

The first session builds on the initial conversation from your consultation. Your trainer will guide you through a variety of exercises to get a better sense of how your body moves and how it feels during those movements — noting things like discomfort, tightness, or areas that need more care.

It’s also a chance to dig deeper into any health concerns or previous injuries so your trainer can make thoughtful, appropriate exercise selections. From there, your training plan is tailored to support your goals in a safe, personalized, and sustainable way.

Building muscle mass and enhancing bone density are crucial for overall health and longevity. Personal training helps by incorporating strength training exercises that are specifically designed to improve muscle and bone health, thereby reducing the risk of injury and age-related diseases such as osteoporosis, sarcopenia. Your personal trainer will guide you on form, so you can do them effectively and at an appropriate intensity.

Ideally, attending training sessions twice a week provides a good balance between workout intensity and recovery time. This frequency allows for sustained progress under the guidance of your personal trainer, who can adjust your program as you improve, ensuring that your fitness journey is both effective and manageable.

Your program is adaptable.

Sometimes you're drained by an intense work project, or you're recovering from the flu, or you're adapting to a new school schedule for your child. 

We remain flexible to adapt how you train to ensure you still benefit while ensuring we accommodate whatever life throws your way.

We're prepared for ups and downs, but we're here to  keep the momentum up and help you stay motivated throughout your fitness journey.

Strength training primarily focuses on challenging your muscles and bones, which encourages the body to increase muscle mass and enhance bone density. As your body adapts to the increasing demands, the intensity of exercises is increased to promote further physical improvements. While strength training prioritizes muscle and bone development, it still supports maintaining a healthy range of motion. Although different in focus, strength training complements Pilates and Yoga.
