My proven philosophy to getting my clients' results

Everyone has a superpower. Sometimes these are natural talents, for others it comes from putting in the work each day and over the years seeing that a trend works time and time again. My training philosophy is my superpower that has been built from seeing my diverse clients achieve their goals by following my methods.

These 4 principles have been built on a decade of industry knowledge and include:

1. Injury Prevention

There is no need for high risk, or high weight activity that my client isn't ready for. When training, it's so important to build up overall strength and understand basic techniques prior to moving to a higher weight and complex exercises.

To perform exercises to clients' ability and skill, allows their body to move more naturally without risk. This is also about teaching correct posture and technique, and finding balance between challenging my clients, yet not going beyond safe limits.

2. Body Mechanics

This is about guiding my clients through exercises that align to the natural movement of the body, with mind muscle activation and control. It involves the way I set up an exercise to move, activate and target their muscles throughout the workout.

Putting the body in the correct position is crucial to target the muscle of choice. For example, you can influence the area of the muscle that you are working on by knowing simple adjustments such as changing handgrips or the angle of your body.

This movement should be used both in the gym and everyday life. Think about the saying 'bend with your knees' which is typically heard and seen when moving furniture, or lifting heavy objects. There's even sometimes a wise person nearby sharing a reminder about picking up our little humans or groceries and trying to prevent strain.

Babies and children typically move in this way - watch a baby or a child pick something up and you may find yourself a perfect demonstration for a squat!

The reason why body mechanics is so important is not only because it links with injury prevention, it's also a really efficient way of working out. By hitting the right group of muscles that you intend to train can help with ensuring you achieve your goals sooner.

3. Balance

This is an element of my life that I love and will not compromise on. It's focused on understanding that life isn't always about being disciplined to achieve a goal; it's about finding both the commitment, joy of the accomplishment and taking the steps to being the person you want to be.

I believe in working hard, as well as going out with friends, taking that break and having a beer and you will hear me exemplify this in my corporate engagement training, as well as training sessions one-on-one. As they say, moderation is key - and this is part of my secret sauce to getting my clients' results both physically and mentally.

4. Consistency

This ultimately comes down to quantity and quality training time.

For my corporate clients, we want to have multiple opportunities and time to enhance employee wellbeing thorugh a positive team culture, enagement and morale. And for all clients, consistency leads to the ripple effect that working-out has on supporting mental health, energy levels, prodictivty as well as achieving fitness goals (to name just a few benefits!). Continually showing up is really key to getting results.

How you can leverage these philosophies

If you're looking for the missing ingredient to achieving your fitness goal, have another look at my 4 philosophies and maybe you can identify something you can amp up, or an element that is missing. You may find this to be a large change, or you can brainstorm ideas of really small activities you can improve today, or starting first thing tomorrow.
