Starting and maintaining exercise can be a daunting task.  So much conflicting information out there, many diets to choose from and thousands of articles all saying different things.  The internet can be even more of a minefield.  Having face to face contact with a Personal Trainer who is suitably qualified can be very helpful for many reasons.

For many people having a Personal Training session can provide the accountability needed.  Checking in once or twice a week is often enough to keep you motivated and on track.  The quality of a client’s exercise dramatically improves, learning the right techniques and intensity is always the way to get results.  This takes practice and an experienced eye.

We work from a Private Personal Training Studio in Bournemouth offering a range of services in fitness and nutrition.  Whether you want to lose weight, get fit, improve body shape or simply get healthy we have a package to suit.  We offer a free consultation including fitness assessments.

With the summer now well and truly over, thoughts turn to the mucky weather outside and how to train through the wet and windy uk  winter.

Actually, it never really is that bad!  I have seen many people actually start running from scratch in the middle of December.  For many, daylight can be a limiting factor and this is where the gym comes in handy.

The cold months are a handy time to be down the gym doing some resistance work, be it strength work or working on muscular endurance.  Even a simple 20-30 minute routine of weights can make all the difference 2-3 times a week.  The benefits from resistance training can be easily maintained through the rest of the year.

By adapting the training slightly and doing some indoor training you are much more likely to continue, and actually the change in routine is good for the body.  Finding a local circuit training class, spinning or indoor sport such as squash are also recommended.

On those really mucky days, where the thought of going out running or cycling in the rain is too much, simply take the day off.  It’s much better for moral to do it the following day!

We are now offering Circuit Training / Boot Camp every Saturday in Bournemouth.

This is a superb way to get in shape, aimed at all levels and abilities.

Circuit training still remains  the best all rounder fitness session available.  Most exercise can be very specific and targets certain areas of fitness or isolated areas of the body.  Running for example improves lower body endurance and overall fitness, but a limited amount of upper body work, strength or core stability.

Circuit training offers such a range of exercises that it is more complete, and therefore suitable for both novices training once or twice a week but also advanced exercisers who need to cross train or compliment existing exisiting programs.

We meet at the entrance to The Miramar Hotel, Bournemouth. 9am-10am.   Cost is £6 per person.

Contact us if you need more info, or simply turn up on the day.  Hope to see you there!…
