My Private
Fitness Gym
Christchurch
Want to get back into fitness but unsure how?
Friendly Welcome Waiting for You.
​
I have a private fitness gym
​
-
If you find exercising difficult to get started or
-
prefer that no-one can judge you, nor
-
comment or notice how you look AND no mirror on the wall.
​
I have fun equipment you can choose to use in the studio:
​
Rockit Boards
Hula Hoops
Swiss Ball
Resistance Bands
Nordic Walking Poles
Yoga mats, straps and blocks and more.........
​
Having spoken to friends, both men and women I'm not alone in thinking we all need to move more, we realise that to be fit and healthy when we are the age of our parents, now is the time for action.
​
My lovely wife will kick me out of bed to go for a cycle ride, which I really enjoy, as I'm not to good at self-motivating and I even mutter early in the morning "I'll go tomorrow".
Jean, my wife, will also admit that she needs to go to yoga or Zumba more often and as she works with chronic pain and anxiety on a daily basis she can fully argue the case for regular exercise.​​​​​
My answer was to make my work, my exercise and I invite you to join me.​​
Improve your Physical Health and Fitness
We can take fitness for granted assuming that the movements we do every day are easy and will stay that way - UNTIL THEY ARE NOT!
​
Primary Movements is the name given to everyday movements:
​
-
Getting in and out of the car
-
Washing the car
-
Doing everyday work and movement
-
Gardening
-
Climbing up and down step ladders
-
Getting up and down from chairs and sofas
Being able to do these primary movements easily, virtually without thought, is the key to healthy life and movement.
Personal training with me on a regular basis, improves these everyday movements easily and without any aches, strains or pain.
​
We all want to live a long health life without the need for operations, hip and knee replacements or to rely on medications staying fit as we age.
​
At my place I have equipment, such as resistance bands, free weights showing that exercises are "holistic", using the whole of your body to teach the muscles to work together in harmony for strength, flexibility and balance.

Ongoing Support from your Fitness Coach
You are not on your own - my wife tells me I'm great at nagging - so I'll be keeping in touch with you outside your training times, helping to improve your NEAT (that's the energy you burn with everyday movement) and to help you find or rediscover activities outside the studio that you enjoy and bring more regular exercise into your daily life.

If you haven't been to a personal trainer before this page can give you more information.
However every personal trainer is unique and specialise in a specific group of people.
I believe I can help those people who have to be in front of a computer every day or another sedentary professional with little opportunity to move
The most important fitness exercise you can do especially when you are over 50 years of age, is strength training.
Strength training helps keep muscles not only strong but powerful so you can react quickly to retain balance and quick reactions.
Strength training is the most beneficial exercise for strong and resilient bones and prevent osteoporosis.
Weight loss is the most important thing you can do for your future health and wellness to insure a future that is free of chronic diseases.
Although you may have had several attempts at weight loss a careful, well informed change of lifestyle could be your future with the support of a weight loss coach.
Weight loss requires time and a moderate level of planned change over a period of time.
​​​​​​Preventing Knee Surgery
Many people think that surgery is the only answer to musculoskeletal pain whereas it could be worth spending time with a personal trainer to improve muscle and joint function.
If you are on a waitlist for an operation why not spend the time ensuring you are as fit as possible.
