Here is our Tip #1 – Stay tuned for more tips from your local gym near me

Despite what your goals may be, every individual can benefit from physical resistance training, thats why your local gym near me is so valuable. Not only that, but the health benefits extend far beyond your short term fitness goals. Regardless of why you train, let’s take a look at some of the reasons you should incorporate strength training into your fitness regimen and how a gym near me can help.

“The rule is: the basics are the basic, and you can’t beat the basics.” -Charles Poliquin

1. Training for strength produces results.

Whatever your goals, muscle will help you get there. Personal trainers in the fitness industry has made a fortune around buzzwords like “tone”, “lift”, and “sculpt.” The problem is there’s no way to measure those loose terms. If you want to change your body composition there is only the ability to gain or lose muscle while simultaneously gaining or losing fat. If you are looking for the most efficient way to do make a change then strength training is your best option.

Strength training, or physical resistance training, can be defined as a type of physical exercise specializing in the use of resistance to induce muscular contraction which builds the strength, anaerobic endurance, and size of skeletal muscles. When you gain muscle you increase your bodies basal metabolism (the amount of calories you burn each day before factoring in physical activity). It’s kind of like putting a bigger engine in a car. The car is capable of moving faster or pulling a heavier load (more muscle), but it also uses more fuel (fat) whether it’s cruising down the freeway or idling in the driveway. Strength training helps us “tone” through this muscle gain/fat loss trade.

We would love to help you live a healthy strong life. Schedule a  Free Intro Session  at D8 Training in Clarence Gardens today.

We all know stretching is good for us... but let’s be honest — most of us skip it. Myself included. Up until two months ago, I’d fallen out of the habit of doing my usual 5–10 minutes of daily stretching. But since getting back into it, the results have been undeniable: ◼️ Less stiffness ◼️ Faster recovery from training ◼️ Noticeable improvements in my performance And the best part? It didn’t take long, nor were complicated routines or hour-long yoga sessions required. Just 5–10 minutes a day , consistently. That’s it.
