Welcome to Personal Training with Graeme...

The three pillars in the PT with G logo represent:

1. Advanced Strength Training

Strength training is an art and a passion. It continues to evolve, and every year more secrets are unlocked on what the most effective strength training exercises are, and how to perform them to ensure the best possible response from your body. I keep up with the latest trends and developments in exercise science and strive to educate my clients about only the safest and the most effective strength training exercises. Say goodbye to wasteful abdominal routines, boring monotonous cardio, and fluffy isolation exercises. Train smarter, burn more kilojoules of energy per session; raise your metabolism and burn fat faster. I train my clients to lift progressively heavier weights, to lift with the best possible technique and to embrace the combined benefits of strength training.

2. Personalised Programming

The exercise programs I prescribe my clients are unique and individual to my clients needs. All programs take into account a client’s health and wellness, weight training experience and level of conditioning. I develop programs for teen clients’ right through to the elderly. The first session helps to identify personal goals, pre-existing medical conditions, injury, illness or ailments, basic circumference measurements and optional body-fat analysis. Sleep, hydration, stress and other lifestyle factors are discussed. I continually monitor existing conditions, and implement management strategies to help a client rehabilitate from injury, improve functional movement, flexibility, posture, core stability, muscular imbalance, chronic illness, manage disability, and have excellent experience training clients throughout pregnancy. With your permission, I will work with your physiotherapist, osteopath, general practitioner or other health professional wherever required to help you reach your potential faster. If an exercise is not appropriate, substitute exercises can be organised on the spot, and programs will be periodised, so that amongst the most effective exercises to get results, you will also get a variety of training modes. For the best results I recommend completing 2 x 30min personal training sessions with me each week. For quicker progress, exercise outside of sessions is strongly encouraged – including participation in sport, recreational activities and group exercise.

3. Body Transformation

First and foremost, achieving results is about expending more kilojoules of energy than your consume. Rapid weight loss is unhealthy, so true progress will happen over a longer period of time. This can only be achieved through a balance of lifestyle factors including health, physical conditioning, and exercise routine, sleeping habits, food choices, proper hydration, stress and other genetic predispositions. I assess all of these factors. I can recommend relevant health professionals to assist you further in your quest for improved body image. To ultimately result in body transformation - strength training will increases lean muscle tissue, which metabolises fat faster, whilst making you feel stronger, firmer, and more energised. Body transformation is also about how you feel. My clients often tell me that their back aches and pains have gone, that their sore joints don’t play up anymore, that they are better at their sports and recreational activities, and that they have the best mobility that they’ve had in years. My clients get more active outside the gym as a result of their training.

I’m looking for clients who are...

Willing and committed to take part in strength training, and regular exercise outside of personal training appointments.

Not afraid of stepping outside of a comfort zone, or of delayed onset muscle soreness that often accompanies a strength training session – and is usually more severe after the first few sessions.

Not exercise addicts. My clients must embrace adequate recovery between strenuous workouts.

All age groups and levels of fitness welcome. My clients range from 12-70 years of age, beginners, intermediate and advanced.

The Future of PT with G...

It is awesome to have a goal to train towards, or some sort of specific physical challenge to give you something to look forward to. In 2012, I’m looking into introducing adventure day trips and activities into my personal training package. To organise discounted activities for my clients including rock-climbing, kayaking, caving, hiking, snow sports, and other team building experiences that pop up throughout the year. If you’re interested in participating in any of these activities once you’re on board, let me know! Quarterly social outings would be a brilliant way to celebrate personal health and wellness achievements.

In the New Year I will provide each of my clients with an ultimate training companion – a guide full of my training secrets and wisdom, cardio challenges, and plenty of space to periodise your own training models, goal set and brainstorm your own incentives and rewards schemes.
