If you’ve been training for a while but haven’t witnessed any results or you’re struggling to achieve your weight loss targets, a personal trainer might be a good option for you.
Choosing a personal trainer to support your weight loss journey will ensure that you’re using the right exercises to achieve your goals and provide you with the foundations you need to succeed. At FORM, this extends beyond the gym floor – with accountability check-ins, support groups and everything you need to make good nutritional decisions. We’ve even collated our own recipes to help inspire you in the kitchen!
Our FORM trainers will help you achieve your weight-loss goals in a safe and attainable way.
If you’ve established a good routine, feel motivated and you’re managing to commit to exercise outside of your PT sessions, one PT session a week could be all you need to stay on track. Whether your goal is to lose body fat, build muscle mass, up your cardio or beat your personal best, a weekly check-in with a personal trainer from FORM can help you unlock results.
Trick question; there’s no such thing as a fat burning exercise. However, some exercises do help us burn more energy than others. That’s why we’ve rated our top exercises for energy expenditure (as burning calories will help you lose weight). The most impactful exercises on energy expenditure are exercises that work multiple muscles at once. These include exercises such as:
1) Squats
2) Deadlifts
3) Boxing
4) Kettlebell circuits
5) HIIT
Ahead of your first personal training session, in your initial consultation, you’ll be introduced to your personal trainer to talk about your goals and ambitions, explore your current relationship with health and fitness and discuss the process ahead. So, by the time your first personal training session comes around, you’ll be ready to take the next step of your fitness journey.
Our personal training sessions typically consist of a mixture of both cardio and weights. However, each and every personal trainer at FORM takes a unique approach to help you achieve your goals in an enjoyable way that you can sustain. So, if you hate running, don’t sweat it; we’ve got plenty of ways to make you work hard!
