Trainer Interview #2

Why did you become a personal trainer?
I wanted to help people achieve their health and fitness goals and make them feel like they can achieve anything when they stay focussed.

What do you love about working with Revolution?
I get to work with other trainers who offer many different training specialities and work for a company that offers many different services to their clients to provide them with the ultimate health and fitness package.

What is your earliest memory of being active?
I remember at primary school, competing in athletics events like hurdles and 50m sprint. I really enjoyed that sort of exercise.

What is your favourite exercise?

I’m really enjoying reformer Pilates at the moment, but I do enjoy my boxing still.

What is your favourite piece of equipment?
The medicine ball, it is very versatile.

Where is your favourite place to work out?
Down by the beach, a run and then some exercises on the beach.

What is your training philosophy?
To train hard all the time (not just with your personal trainer), stay focussed on your goals and combine your diet and exercise to achieve your health and fitness goals sooner.

How do you unwind after a long days work?
I enjoy reading a book or enjoying a meal with friends (sometimes a glass of wine too).

If you weren’t a personal trainer, what would you be?
I would probably work in pharmacy still, or as a rep.

What training styles do you specialise in?

I specialise in cardio boxing, weight loss, and pre & post natal training.

Myth Busters #28

Rapid Weight Loss, Is Not Harmful

Weight loss is something that cannot be rushed; it is a process of changing your body shape and therefore requires time for your body to adapt. Therefore, prolonged rapid weight loss of more than 1.5kg per week should be carefully monitored as this can lead to increased risk of gallstones. The very low kilojoule eating plans that usually accompany rapid weight loss can also lead to heart rhythm abnormalities.

So just remember that although at times you may not be losing weight as quickly as you would like, in order to get the best health results that are maintainable, slow and steady weight loss is far more beneficial than rapid weight loss.
