There are now 100's of personal trainers in Melbourne. They train out of chain gyms, home garages, parks or they come to your home or workplace. Some of these same personal trainers are good, some of them are even great but sadly, a lot of them barely make the grade.
At Full Circle Fitness we aim to be not just good and not even great at what we do. Our aim is to be the absolute best and with being the best comes the pressure to perform, which in our case is to get you the results that you crave.
Here are 6 things that you will get at Full Circle Fitness that you won't get with other personal trainers.
1 - Problem Finding Postural Assessments, Not Symptom Finding
Though the use of the Joint by Joint Approach to Training
popularised by US Strength and Conditioning Coach Mile Boyle, we can bypass all
the symptoms of pain that you have and locate the site of your problem/s.
By following the mobility – stability continuum, we don't just treat the site of pain (which is more often then not referred), we can locate what the actual problem is meaning you get pain relief almost immediately.

2 - Resistance Training Programs That Actually Burn Fat
Metabolism plays such a huge role in body composition, that
it actually burns 90% of your calories. What this means is that if you’re
embarking on a journey of losing body fat, then metabolism is the key to it
all. The one thing that has the greatest impact on metabolism is the amount of
muscle mass that you have as it’s this very muscle mass that requires constant
calories to feed and sustain it.
So instead of those crash diets that make you miserable and
those high rep training routines that can actually decrease your muscle mass,
we implement resistance training programs that actually build and sustain
muscle mass, making your fat loss efforts so much easier, and quicker!
3 - The Ability to Build Core Stability Without Slow Boring Classes
Pilates is very popular but it is also very limited. It uses
very low level and isolating pelvic floor and deep core muscle activation, but
it does very little for actual core strength and force transfer. As well as
being built to stabilise (or hold still) the lumbar spine (lower back), the core
muscles also serves to transfer force
through the body to the extremities (arms and legs).
This means that once you can perform low level lying or
reformer exercises, you need to progress them to actual real life movements.
I’m not sure how many of us only move when we’re lying down or spend the day on
a reformer. The classes also burn very little calories so they won't really fit into your fat loss program.
As we know time is of a premium these days, so we can
speed this process up by implementing our unique core stability exercises into your
resistance training program.
4 - Lose Body Fat Without Pounding the Pavement (and your joints)
As stated in point 2, resistance training is the key to fat
loss, not long, boring and joint stressing cardio workouts. Look at sprinters
vs long distance runners and tell me who looks better.
To spare your precious joints which have probably already
taken a pounding and are aching already, we don't use traditional cardio methods
in our training programs, opting for continuous resistance training exercises
mixed with body weight exercises to build and maintain muscle as well as
actually breaking adipose tissue away from your fat cells.
5 - We Train Clients, Not
Exercise Them
Why do you perform exercise? To lose fat? To increase
muscle? To increase energy levels? Whatever the answer is, it’s because you
want to improve something, you want to become better at something.
A lot of trainers exercise their clients, but they don’t
actually train them. They don’t actually improve on what they initially started
training for.
For you to get the results that you’re after, you need to TRAIN
to get better. You don’t go to football or netball training just to run around
and get a sweat up, you go to practice skills of the game you need to
improve on. This is what we do at Full Circle Fitness.
To lose body fat you need to become better at recruiting the
muscles of the body, you need to learn to train to oxygen debt and you need to
learn how to follow a nutritional plan that fits your lifestyle and gets results at the
same time.
To gain muscle you need to become better at managing stress,
you need to learn how to progressively overload the body to force it to get
bigger and again, you need to follow the specific nutritional guidelines to
increase muscle mass.
At Full Circle Fitness we are constantly researching and
implementing new strategies to become better at what we do, thus passing them
on to our clients to assist them on improving themselves and making their
training goals a reality.
