ZANSHIN FITNESS

OUR AIM – To promote a health and fitness lifestyle within the community by providing safe and effective, time efficient programs and sensible nutrition advice. Below is an outline of our services and our general approach.

PERSONAL TRAINING: WHAT IT MEANS

• One-on-one sessions with your trainer
• Body fat management, increased fitness, strength, muscular development, coordination, flexibility & more
• Goal setting
• Nutrition advice
• Personalised programs, monitored progress
• Gift vouchers available

INVEST IN YOUR HEALTH AND FITNESS

The general population has really caught on to the value of personal training and has seen what great results are possible.

A personal training session is affordable to just about everyone and generally costs no more than a good night out.

It’s all about choice, what’s important to you.

Working with a personal trainer is not an expense.

It’s an investment in you, in your health and fitness.

THE BENEFITS

• Safe work-out sessions – learn how to perform your exercise safely and efficiently.

• Time-efficient training – no one wants, or needs, to spend hours training. Your health and fitness goals can best be achieved with little more than thirty minutes per day, two to three times per week.

• Less threatening sessions – it can be pretty daunting going to the gym or the park on your own if you’re feeling a bit unsure about yourself. A trainer provides presence, support and encouragement.

• Inspiration – the trainer can help you to stay motivated and interested, to help you stay focused and get the best out of yourself consistently.

• Sessions specific to your goals and situation – “one size fits all” programs don’t work, they have to be individualised to suit your goals, age, fitness, health profile and lifestyle.

These are just some of the benefits of working with a qualified personal trainer.

The relationship between client and trainer is a dynamic one which gradually evolves over time and reaps many more benefits for the individual who wants to realise their health and fitness potential in the most efficient way possible.

COMMENTS FROM OUR CLIENTS

I am most impressed with Sean’s competence and knowledge of the training process. As an anatomist and surgeon, I cannot fault his understanding of joint and muscle anatomy and function. His encouragement results in me performing well beyond my perceived capabilities and I have achieved my goals beyond my most optimistic expectations. He has my highest recommendation and everlasting gratitude.

THE BENEFITS OF EXERCISE

Exercise that increases your heart rate and challenges you a bit gives you a performance edge, burns calories and confers many health benefits. Not only is it important to keep the cardiovascular system in top shape from a performance perspective, but health implications with regard to aerobic and strength training loom importantly too.

The health benefits of exercise include the following

• A stronger and healthier heart.
• Increased HDL. This good cholesterol helps keep your arteries unplugged and healthy.
• Decreased total cholesterol. This is the debris in the blood that can clog your arteries.
• Reduced blood pressure. Even moderate exercise can help.
• Reduced risk for heart attack and stroke.
• Decreased body fat and an ability to help maintain optimal weight. You will become a better fat burner and burn a lot of calories as a result of being more active.
• A stronger, leaner body with improved bone density and reduced likelihood of osteoporosis.
• Decreased risk of diabetes.
• Better flexibility.
• Reduced feelings of anxiety, tension and depression.
• Improved sleep. When you train hard, you need quality rest.
• Higher levels of energy. Efficient delivery and use of blood and oxygen is the key to increased vigour and performance.

These are just some of the benefits of working out and getting more exercise. These benefits will accrue not just from planned or scheduled exercise sessions, but also from what is called incidental exercise, which means simply moving more.
