Amazing 12, FitStrong PT, personal training

I am looking for couples who want to Transform together 

MoveStrongblog

Maybe you’ve decided it’s time to get on top of your health and strength? Maybe you’re getting married soon and want to get into ‘great shape’ for the big day? Maybe you’ve realised you’ve let yourself slip over the past couple of years and want to move better, feel stronger and fitter? 

Perhaps you simply want and need to transform your relationship with food, your waistline and your strength and fitness. 

If this is you, let me introduce the Amazing 12. 

The Amazing 12 program delivers all the above mentioned outcomes with methods you will never see in any other gym or the internet. While the exercises may be familiar, the 12 week program is incredibly smart, NOT a beatdown, NOT a starvation, juicing, pills or potions program – just a great program that will not only deliver the physical results but help you create a healthier outlook on exercise and nutrition. 

ARE YOU COMMITTED TO YOURSELF 100%?

Below are pictures of Jamie (48) and Vivienne (46) from Albany Creek. Both completed the A12 program with ease, Jamie losing 11kg he never knew he had whilst improving strength and fitness dramatically despite elbow problems. Viv lost 4.5kg and found herself feeling so much more confident and stronger in her day to day life. In fact, during the program she increased her 5 rep max squat to her 30 rep max squat!!!! 

I am accepting applications from people who are ready to commit 100% and make a change to their life. 

YOU will need to train three times a week for 45 minutes – that’s all. 

As the coach, potentially your coach, I am 100% committed to guiding you though every stage of the program, both in the gym, and via online nutritional support.

What is Personal Training?

MoveStrongblog

To each and every person looking to hire a professional, the role of a trainer, to carry out personal training probably means something different.

1. To many it implies being pushed to the limit, getting all sweaty and pumped.

2. To some it may mean being taught finely detailed techniques to get the most out of their training.

3. To a few it means you get to whine and moan about having to do exercise – like it’s a personal punishment for eating too much!

4. To others is means the accountability of a professional to guide them through a personalised routine.

5. To some it means having the expert eye and experience of a professional to help create the results sought after.

If you align with 1 or 3 or something similar, you’ve either been sold something very inappropriate or have had that expectation sown by an others experience.

Long gone – I hope – are the days when trainers shout at their clients to ‘max out’, ‘go harder’, ‘ignore the pain’ and then come back again for the same.

Moving on. If you can see the validity of points 2, 4 and 5, then you know what to look for. A trainer who listens to your goals, designs a program with that agenda in mind, before guiding and supporting you from learning essential techniques to the execution of great repetitions, sets and all at an appropriate (read reasonable) intensity.

At FitStrong this is the process offered to each and every client.

We start with a consultation to discuss goals, past experiences and perhaps exploring any self limiting beliefs before presenting a solution.

A movement screen follows to start to understand the physical status, ie look for any red-flags, weakness or imbalances that may influence the program design.

From here a program commences to carry the client from their point A towards their point B.

That is the goal of a personal trainer.

At FitStrong I specialise in helping people build useful strength, improved movement capabilities and total body transformations.

‘Check out a brief overview of our methods’

…

Our home based gym is a friendly, safe and clean place where people are supported and coached towards their goals. Even if people have no distinct goals, they have an opportunity to simply pursue feeling healthier, stronger and feeling better.

We’re never afraid to try new things, experience new ways to achieve strength, physical health and fitness and this is demonstrated in the wide array of training methods that clients are taught and practice.

We’re not a big ra-ra glitzy ‘globo-gym’ but our simplicity allows us to express our own way of moving better, stronger and feeling good.

Why not book yourself in for a casual, no sales pitch consultation to see how you can fit into our awesome gym 😀

Strong is Amazing

MoveStrongblog

Wanting to look slimmer or wanting to lose unwanted body fat is great in my mind. A drop of unwanted body fat is healthy, lowers risk of many diseases and improves quality of life. For most men, a body fat of 15 to 18% is healthy and attainable. For most women, a body fat of 20 to 24% is healthy and also attainable. How to get skinnier is a not a question I like. Anyone can starve themselves skinny, but that will result in a loss of strength, function, longevity, health and a host of other benefits that being strong and fit brings. The question I prefer is, “how do I get stronger and leaner?”

Of course the answer is to exercise and eat better but there is more to it.

A suitable exercise plan must involve strength training before interval training. If all you have is 2 hours a week, that time needs to be prioritised on getting stronger with the safest movements that stimulate the most amount of muscle mass. No ‘isolation’ exercises. Think big hitters like squats, bench press, pull ups, and some tricep and bicep specific movements (can’t forget the arms!)

If more time is available, then interval training can be added. To encourage the body to burn as much stored body fat as possible, the correct style of high intensity repeat training should be employed. Yet again, this must be the safest choice of exercise to get out of breath with.

Eat Eat Eat…

Nutrition must be the most contentious subject when we start to talk about fat loss. However, the most effective solution is also the simplest. Eat real food. Eat for your goals. Nutrient dense vegetables in abundance. Fruit is not evil. Seriously, no one ever has become obese eating strawberries or tomatoes! Protein in all its variation should be eaten often. The exact quantities depends on the individual.

The Amazing 12 Brisbane is a finely tuned program that delivers all the above. Exercise selection, nutrition and programming is optimised for the individual, for every single week and session of the 12 week program.

The results deliver not just fat loss, but athleticism in every participant.

#1 Optimisation of Exercise Technique – We’ll show you step-by-step the optimal (and required) techniques and their subtleties to master each exercise and minimise risk of injury even as you progress through higher and higher strength levels.

#2 Optimisation of Nutrition – The food you eat is very personal and if you battle through hunger or if your body craves something that’s missing, you will suffer needlessly. And then you’ll stop and eat what you want. The stakes are higher when it comes to fitness programs because the diet versus exercise debate has traditionally accepted the view that “It’s 90% diet.” We’ll teach you how the reality is that it’s actually 90% training when it comes to a body TRANSFORMATION (sounds bogus we know, but look at our results…we’ve proved it and we’ll prove it again and again). 

#3 Optimisation of Exercise Programming – Great technique and great nutrition are not enough. For optimal results, you need optimal programming. And since the vast majority of programs out there do not get results (and most fitness coaches fail to deliver results for their clients), something is clearly broken with fitness programming.  The main problem is the accepted view of “no pain, no gain.” It’s inspiring talk, but it’s no way to get long term results and is physiologically counter-productive. The reality is “Any pain, no gain.”! To perpetuate progress we shouldn’t leave our comfort zone…we should EXPAND it until it envelopes our previous limits.

Crawlebration Day 7

MoveStrongblog

We continue our exploration of all things ‘crawling’ with the interplay of two great crawls.

We’ve played with the Crab crawl and the Foot hand or Beast crawl. Fun galore is when we practice transitioning from one to the other. 😉

Crawlebration

MoveStrongblog

Celebrating and Exploring Crawling during December.

If you have difficulty with general movement, coordination, restrictions and perhaps some nagging pains and recurring injuries, maybe uneasy undertaking some tasks, it may be down to an out of use reflexive strength aka your original strength. 

Not to worry, reflexive strength can be restored with some practice, especially with one movement! 

‘Crawling can help you restore your original strength you were meant to have and unlock strength in many areas of your life.’

Not only will your physical strength and movement improve, your acuity will improve, your mood will boost and you’ll feel more capable and resilient to other physical demands of day-to-day life. 

‘It feels good to feel good’. 

Throughout December I’d like to celebrate what crawling can give us with a festival of daily crawling. 

Each day I’ll share a short video blog or a ‘crawl vlog’ to demonstrate various crawling methods and levels to offer something for everyone, because e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e can benefit from crawling. 

If you’d be so kind, I’ll ask you to share the daily crawlvlog on social media, perhaps with the following hashtags for good measure, plus your own of course 😉

#crawlvlog #crawlebration#albanycreeksbestgym #originalstrength #crawlforhealth #crawlstrong #fitstrongbrisbane #merrychristmas 


Bonus…

Adults tend to have quite stiff wrists. A lifestyle of convenience, technology and less than optimal mobility, can lead to wrists being a little overwhelmed by working with the hands on the ground. So here are a few wrist care movements that feel great on the wrist.

Like the minimalist approach? The Mobility page is packed full of various minimalist strength and mobility exercises.

Transformations for the Busy, Every Day Person

MoveStrongblog

Visitors to the Amazing 12 transformation gallery often assume the before and after photos are of people with athletic backgrounds, or they are fitness models or that they have heaps of disposable time to dedicate to food preparation and gym time. 

The reality is, every one of the people you see in the transformation gallery are everyday people, with jobs, families and other elements to their lives that take up time. 

They are special people though. Each and every A12 participant has chosen to change their lifestyle and how they feel about themselves both physically and visually. 

Some of these people had been going to the gym but never quite got the results, working very hard, maybe too hard, only to feel inadequate in their ability to get results. They believed it impossible for anyone to achieve significant natural gains in strength, muscle gain, fat loss, and cardiovascular conditioning simultaneously in ANY period of time– let alone in 12 weeks… until they graduated the Amazing 12.

What a client said about starting:

‘I needed to make changes in my life as I was not happy about the way I looked, and felt I did not represent the person I felt inside.’

And if you’re thinking about starting… ‘Go for it!!! You will definitely not regret it, it was not a hard program like you’d imagine and you will feel so much better for doing it.’ – Vivienne

GALLERY

If you’ve got the passion to change how you feel about yourself and want help and a realistic pain free program, book in NOW to discuss the details of the Amazing 12. I am building the 2022 list now, with the first participants starting January 10th.
