IT IS possible to change your habits and to get the body you want, both in terms of how you look and how you feel.

IT IS possible to turn everything around. And it doesn’t matter if you’ve failed to do so on previous attempts.

YOU CAN CHANGE RIGHT NOW and we can help you

Often people are resistant to change because they don’t know what is expected of them to make changes.

Realistically, we may actually know what we need to do.

But we may be in denial, or be looking for the next magic bullet.

YOU ARE THE MAGIC BULLET.

You have the power to change. No one else can make the decision for you and no one else can stop you or do it for you. It’s all up to you.

If you’ve been thinking about coming along to FitterFaster, but are not sure what to expect, here’s a few things I’m asked the most often:

I’m too unfit, I’ve never done anything like this before, I won’t know what to do or I don’t want to look silly

Statements like these are the most common thing I hear first up. Whether my initial contact with a new client is via text, email, phone or in person, almost everyone says that they’re scared and/or not fit enough.

This is perfectly natural and nothing to worry about. I absolutely guarantee that once you turn up to train with us, you’ll feel right at home with other clients and the awesome coaches immediately.

Although the exercises may be new to you and you may struggle with some components of the workout, we will be with you all the way to make sure that you’re doing everything right and not doing too much too soon.

We have a Rookie program that all new clients follow.  You’ll have lots of extra breaks and rests, do modified exercises and learn to do everything properly from the start.

You will absolutely not be expected to do more than you are capable of!  

Every other client was a Rookie once, and most can vividly remember their first sessions and how they felt turning up.

You’ll find they are nothing but supportive and they’ll all make you feel welcome and will encourage you at all times.

We have the best bunch of people to train with and you don’t have to compare yourself to any of them and we never will either.

You will always be coached at your own individual level.  We teach technique first, making sure you’re capable of doing all the exercises without risk of injury before pushing you to train harder.  

We are very, very strict on this, so rest assured that you’ll be fine right from your very first session.

You seem to focus a lot on health, is that necessary if I just want to get fit or lose some weight?

All of the latest research (by scientists, not marketing companies) is proving that for a long and productive life, you need to improve all aspects of your fitness including maintaining your muscle mass AND improve your health by eating better, sleeping enough and being more active every day.

A productive life starts now.  If you find that lots of days you have headaches, low energy, cravings for junk food or regularly catch whatever bugs are doing the rounds, you are not living a fully productive life.   If you don’t sort this out NOW you will have no hope of doing it in later life.

Maintaining weightloss long term also relies on being fitter, having as much muscle mass as you can (naturally) and by knowing how and what to eat.

So you really can’t get around it – you need to work on your overall health and fitness to see the results.

I don’t want to keep a food journal.

Tracking food intake something that most successful weight losers do.  And they keep doing it once they reach their ideal weight from time to time.

I do it myself approx every 4-6 weeks for a week or two. It keeps me accountable and shows up bad habits that start creeping in. So ultimately it is up to you to keep the journal or not.

We do not keep food journals all the time.  You may be asked to keep one if you have a specific goal in mind in a certain time frame, but mostly, we’ll start with simple changes to what you’re eating daily rather than tracking everything.

I’m not sure what to expect in terms of what results I’ll get

You will not be cured of your bad habits in a single day or week. These behaviours have been learned over a long period of time so you cannot expect to unlearn them overnight.

We have also had myths and untruths aimed at us from every direction over the past 30 years or so when it comes to nutrition.

Most of the myths come from the marketing companies whose job it is to convince you why you need their products. These companies do not have your best interests at heart.

So while some of the things I’ll teach you may come pretty easy and will make sense to you, other stuff may be a struggle or need extra explanation for you because you’ve come to believe things that may not be true or may not be true for you.

But that’s okay No matter where you’re starting from or how expansive or limited your knowledge is,  you can and will learn how to get and keep a healthy fit body.

So while our basic programs can’t put a specific time frame to a specific result, you are in control of how much you want to change at any time.  I’m here to help you make those changes as we go along.

What do you mean about being positive?

You have to have positive expectations about the program.  If you’re questioning everything, you’ll find it hard to make changes.  Of course I will explain everything to you and if you don’t agree, that is fine too.  But I ask that you at least, give my concepts and ideas a good go before saying they won’t work.

Don’t think about what you can’t have, but what you can have and all the great benefits you are going to get when you start changing your habits and making better choices.

There’s no doubt you will have to give up certain things over time.  Some will find some changes harder than others.  If you’re struggling with anything at any time, I ask that you contact me and we can work out a different tactic or try something different first before trying again.

Ask Yourself; How’s that working for me?

As Dr. Phil would say. Has what you have been doing in the past been working for you?

No?

Well stop dwelling on it then or ask yourself why you may be so resistant to change.

Maybe the benefits of staying the same outway the benefits of making the changes for you. If some part of you keeps on making up excuses to not change, then maybe there is a reason for that.

Are you doing what you’re doing now because there are benefits?

You need to weigh up the pros and cons of not changing anything and making changes.  

Which will you choose?

In the end, I can provide information, I can provide encouragement, I can teach you how to exercise effectively and push you at training if necessary.

I can provide education and tactics to make changes to your food intake and your other lifestyle habits,  I can even provide extra incentives and bonuses but I cannot do it for you.

I am proof that this works. 100’s of clients have proven it works.  Prove that you have what it takes too.

Why are there so many different types of workouts?

You can read about our different workouts here

We have a variety of different types of classes because to be fully fit and to increase longevity and your health, you need to train in different ways.

Cardiovascular fitness and strength/tone cannot be improved by doing the same things.  Each requires a variety of different style workouts to be fully developed.    

And if fat loss is your goal, you’ll need to make sure you’re as fit as possible in all areas.   Especially if you want to not gain your weight back again after losing it

Contact me today to get started on achieving and maintaining your best body ever.

I am happy to answer all your questions before you need to make any decisions. We can get together in the gym or on the phone/zoom to discuss your needs and how we can help you
