Getting Fit with a Mobile Personal Trainer


Why do you need a Personal Trainer? We all need a little help with exercise sometimes, whether we are just starting out or have been at it for some time. Some of the reasons people choose to get a personal trainer might include:
- You are not seeing results
- You do not know where to start
- Bored with the same workouts
- Need to be challenged
- You want to learn how to exercise on your own
- You need motivation
- You want to workout at home

What kind of training do I offer?
(1) Strength training
(2) Core training
(3) Losing weight through Cardiovascular exercises
(4) Swimming



Strength Training

What is Strength Training? Strength training is exercising with the goal of increasing your physical strength. There are two kinds:-

Relative strength: Gymnasts or rock climbers need strength, but not at the expense of an increased body-weight: it makes their sport harder. Relative strength is building maximum strength while controlling calorie intake and/or adding cardio so you do not increase body-weight.

Absolute strength: More body-weight means bigger muscle and thus more strength. Absolute strength is about becoming the strongest person you can be regardless of body-weight.



Core Training

What is Core Training? Core training is doing specific exercises to develop and strengthen stabilizer muscles. These include the muscles that run the length of the trunk and torso.

Static floor exercises: Require little or no movement; constant tension of the muscles ensures they are working. Improvement is marked by either increase duration or reduction of your support base.

Dynamic floor exercises: Are done without weights and unlike static floor exercises, they require movement.

Dynamic Swiss ball exercises: A Swiss ball is unstable; therefore the main muscles you are working will need the help of supporting muscles to balance both you and the ball.



Losing Weight  through Cardiovascular Exercises

What is Cardiovascular Exercise? Cardiovascular exercise refers to exercises that involve the large muscles like the legs, and help makes your heart and lungs stronger. Prime examples are Running, Swimming, and Rock Climbing.

Sprint workouts: A short, high intensity sprint workout which improves aerobic capacity and endurance in about half the time of traditional endurance exercises.

Endurance workouts: Any and all training methodologies that promote physical and psychological endurance.

The benefits of each training




Strength training

Benefits of strength training: A few generations ago, physical jobs kept you in shape. Nowadays sedentary lifestyles are common: desk jobs, watching TV, or driving the car all day. Here is what strength training does for you:-


Builds Muscle: Strength training builds muscle; strength training is not bodybuilding however: building muscle is a by-product of exercising, not its goal.


Burns Fat: Strength training burns calories, which increases your metabolism rate and helps in maintaining your diet.


Increases Health: Strength training increases endurance, bone density and testosterone levels. It also strengthens joints, lowers cholesterol and improves your sleep.


Forges Character: Strength training teaches you persistence, sacrifice, self-control, responsibility and builds self-confidence. You will get out of strength training what you put into it.




Core Training


Benefits of Core Training: Core training benefits all ages and various walks of life: Old or young, athletically experienced or otherwise.

Strengthens Lower Back: Weak and unbalanced core muscles are linked with lower back pain. Stronger, balanced core muscles help to maintain posture and reduce spine strain.


Improves Power Output: All powerful movements originate from the centre of the body and never the limbs alone. Before any rapid muscle contraction, the spine must be solid and the core stable.


Improves Bodily Control: By stabilising the muscles around the spine, you will be able to better control your body and address postural imbalances, which is very useful for daily activities or sports.


Improves Functional Fitness: The biggest benefit is developing functional fitness; the type of fitness that is essential to daily living and regular activity throughout all age.





Losing Weight  through Cardiovascular Exercises


Benefits of Cardiovascular Exercise: Most people link cardiovascular exercise with weight loss, however it has many other benefits which include:

Improved Heart Health: The heart will beat at a slower rate when resting which combined with increased elasticity of the arteries will improve blood circulation. This will decrease cholesterol levels, reduce risk of heart disease, depression and strokes amongst other benefits.


Increased metabolism: An increased metabolism increases the amount of calories you are able to consume a day while maintaining the same weight. That means you are able to eat the same amount while losing weight.


Improved recovery time: If you are currently in the process of building muscles, cardiovascular exercises may improve the recovery time of your muscles, allowing you to quicken your pace for your goal. It helps reduce your delay onset of sore muscles and helps bring more oxygen to your aching muscles.



Price

How much will it cost? I am currently charging RM50/hour for one person, RM45/hour each for two persons, and RM40/hour each for three persons. There will be a cap at 3 people so as to maximise the workout.

Are there any packages? There are two packages available. The first is RM450 for 10 sessions, each one hour – RM450/10hours which will enable you to save RM50. The other is RM880 for 20 sessions - RM880/20hours which will enable you to save RM120..

Why choose you? Even though I do not have a personal training certificate, I am an athlete whom takes care of my body and wishes to help others do the same while saving money on gyms. I am not doing this for the money but rather for business experience and to create awareness that gyms are not the only places one can exercise to be in good physical health. I have been in leadership positions throughout my high school and college life helping my peers achieve their goals in the various clubs I have been in so I am confident in my abilities to achieve your personal health goals.

Why do I charge RM50/Hour? A typical gym membership may range from RM150~200/Month, and if you want a personal trainer, that additional cost will be between RM90~150/hour (RM90 is the general minimum in gyms). The gym trainers have been taught to give a fixed routine which is not for everyone; if you wish, I can teach you the exact same things for a much lesser price. I charge RM50/Hour because I am not profit-motivated and I can guarantee no training routines of mine will be the same for two different clients because each training routine will be tailored to suit your current needs and future goals.


When can I see the results? Results differ from person to person depending on how many times a week you work with me. For a person who has a class with me thrice a week, I can guarantee a noticeable change within a month or less.

*RM50/hr - 1person
*RM45/hr - 2 persons
*RM40/hr - 3persons


*All prices are per person

Location

Where will it be held? My training will mostly be held outdoors so it is accessible to everyone; I will carry the weights in my car. Depending on the package you select and the proximity from my place to yours, I can consider coming to your house directly. If not we can meet at a neutral spot which is near to both our houses which may be a park or playground for example.

Why outdoors and not gyms? My training will show that a gym is not needed for exercising and it can be done almost everywhere – from the steps of your house stairs to the nearby playground or park; Everywhere can be turned into a gym. This is to promote a cheaper form of exercising which is equally, if not a better.

Why are machines not involved? Gym members regularly use machines to assist them in their exercise, however machines assist your balancing and thus if performed wrongly, you may injure yourself. However free weights require balancing, which uses the small muscles of your body and trains not just the large muscles such as the pectorals, but also the supporting muscles nearby.

What kind of exercises will you do? Depending on what training you select – Strength, core or cardiovascular – I will tailor a program that suits your individual needs so no two programs will be identical. This may include free weights and light cardio for someone who wants to build muscle mass or teach you how to rock climb if you want to tone your body.
