PERSONAL TRAINING

Personal Training Description

Personal training is an excellent choice for those who learn and respond well to one on one facilitation; those who do not like gyms and those who prefer to train on their own rather than in a group.

Cardiovascular and resistance based exercises can significantly improve your:

• Health, body composition and physical function
• Strength, power and endurance
• Mood, sleep and energy level
• Range of motion/flexibility and stability
• Neuroplasticity and proprioception
• Balance and coordination
• Tendon and ligament function
• Blood pressure, metabolic rate and fitness
• Cholesterol, immune function and bone density

Your personal trainer will prescribe challenging yet safe exercises in the comfort and privacy of our purpose built studios in Harrison. You will be equipped with skills to program for yourself if you choose to train independently, however, your personal trainer will continue to work with you for so long as you desire.

Your personal trainer is in an ideal position to provide allied health case management and attend medical and allied health appointments with you, should you encounter barriers outside the scope of personal training. Collaboratively your providers can create a regimen to educate and assist you to achieve your specific goals.

Other benefits of engaging a personal trainer include:

• motivation, accountability and personalised attention
• privacy and efficiency (time/access/parking)
• continual assessment and monitoring of correct technique
• provide feedback and support your goals
• access to equipment without joining a gym
• impart knowledge and education
• master skills and learn correct form and technique
• programming
• gain confidence moving and handling equipment
• safely push through physical and mental barriers

 

Cardiovascular fitness

A personal trainer can provide instruction, analysis, progressions and correct your technique to assist you to be proficient at a variety of cardiovascular activities such as running, rebounding, boxing and working the speedball.

Weight lifting

It is difficult and potentially unsafe to lift weights alone, especially if you are at all concerned about your technique or want to challenge yourself to lift heavier weights over time. Lifting weights requires a competent spotter who is able to advise, guide and respond.

Stretching

A personal trainer can also assist you with recovery and help you to gain range of movement through your joints; ie flexibility. Static stretching, prolonged static stretching, dynamic stretching, ballistic stretching, myofascial release and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation are all types of stretching that have different purposes. Assisted stretching and myofascial release should be guided by someone who knows what they are doing and other aforementioned types of stretches should be instructed and prescribed safely and purposely.

Getting started

You will be required to undertake a pre exercise health questionnaire to determine if exercise is safe to perform. It is also highly recommended to undertake a top to toe health assessment. You will be provided the option to undertake an exercise scientist facilitated functional movement screen.

In our experience, personal training in conjunction with wellness coaching yields the best results. Paramount to achieving any goal is having a positive and focused mindset. When changing and adopting new behaviours, this combination is particularly successful. Clients usually “know what to do” but struggle to “flick the switch”. Wellness coaching “flicks the switch”.

Wellness coaching will equip you with necessary skills to adapt your mindset; improve your confidence; expand your comfort zone; challenge your limiting beliefs; push through barriers and position you for sustainability and success.

Allied Health Case Management

We appreciate that there are a number of factors that may impact your ability to achieve your goals including mobility, mindset and healthy eating. If you are managing an injury or condition, you will be referred to one or more allied health professionals.  Depending on the level and type of support you require and your medical history, we can accompany you to your allied health professional appointments. Your personal trainer can case manage this process by working with your allied health professionals, general practitioner and relevant specialists when required. Collaboratively your providers can create a regimen to educate and assist you to experience health benefits while supporting you to achieve your specific goals.
