The New Functional training studio

Hello to all of you out there in Functional training land. Times they are a changing, as the song goes, and for me there has been a huge change, scary in one way but exciting in another.

The Studio lots of room and light

The TRX hanging without shame, it has pride of place
in the middle of the room

 Introducing the new studio in Bangor. How lovely it is too have space to move around in and with comfort, Great for the TRX 360'movement, I have increased my Vipr range we now have a 6 kg to 20 kg now.

New to the range of functional workout tools are light club bells great for hand grip, shoulder stabilization and shoulder range of movement. Have a look at the videos the clubs bells I have, are a lot lighter for a great introduction. Below the studio are two physiotherapist and two hypnotherapist,  we also have a great nutritionist, (smoothies to die for), it is sooooo great to be with a team of professionals who love what they do.

  Enjoy your movement.

Sugar Bowl Ski Academy/TRX with Douglas Brooks.

 Here PT  Douglas Brooks, Director of Athlete Conditioning for Sugar Bowl Ski Academy near Lake Tahoe, works with competitive skiers daily and knows what it takes to give them an edge. Here, he shares with us a TRX “triplex” he uses to increase the lower body strength and stability of his athletes. Start by doing 12 to 15 reps of each exercise for two to three sets. Also, these are somewhat advanced moves, so they should only be attempted by individuals who have mastered basic TRX movements.
This clip is brilliant for all you skiers out there. I have just learnt to ski after snowboarding for 5-years and training to me is important to allow good range of movement with stability within the whole body so we don't get those niggles/pains in the knees and hips we want to enjoy the feeling of the movement along with feeling strong within that movement. The TRX is just one of those pieces of equipment that can give you this. I love it and so do all of my clients in fact they ask to use it within there session, and who am I to say no. Training should be fun as well as seeing those all important results, Enjoy the movement.

PTA Global: In New Zealand for a ViPR Play out.

Here is PTA Global in New Zealand with the Vipr work out.
     I love this new bit of kit it works and is lots of fun made out of dense rubber you can be as rough as you like with it but without catching yourself on sharp edges. I have just acquired one (10kg) and have used it in one way or another in all my clients training sessions.
    You may be thinking its a piece of equipment for anyone under 30yrs but you would be wrong, wrong ,wrong last week a client and I had a great session with the Vipr and she is 72yrs young, As she said when she lifted it above her head, ' This will give me strength to lift my suitcase up onto a shelf on a train if I need too' she is an independent woman .
We must allow our training to give our bodies this dynamic strength with added stability. So movement training moves from the gym into our everyday life's.
 Now that makes sense, doesn't it?

PTA Global: On-the-Floor

This clip is from a great person /trainer, Rodney Corn.
    In this clip he is talking to another trainer about training. This may sound boring, but it is great to here what I call a traditional  body builder changing the way he thinks about training his clients and himself. It make me feel happy to see that we are wanting to see smiles on our clients and our own faces and make our training session enjoyable along with personal training results, high up on the want list.
 Keep moving people along with a smile on your face
