Training advice for the Fit Pros

Choose the right type of gym for you! Check out Fitness & Well-being Hub!

A typical gym is thought of as particularly intimidating, especially for the older population who could benefit a lot from resistance training because there are so many younger people in there who keep checking themselves out in the mirrors. This demographic is typically focussed on building strength or end up messing around with their mates. It can make the average gym user who is there to stay healthy and fit put off training. It is understandable to personal trainers like myself why older clients don’t want to train in these facilities. It is one of the main reasons that I have set myself up at Fitness and Well-being Hub as there are no mirrors and the people who attend the gym are not there to check themselves out in a mirror. They are there so that they can move better and perform daily functions with less hassle and be pain-free to improve the quality of their lives- This is what training should be about after all!

All my clients are looking to help move better and function better in their lives! Resistance training isn’t just about looking good, it really is about feeling good! More should be done to promote movement and function over appearance! This is not the norm though so I have joined a facility which helps promote this over a traditional gym environment and I really hope to be able to encourage more to get involved in exercise so that they can feel better! 

How do you find training and would you like to find an environment that is better suited to feeling better than just looking better?
