Strength Training: Personal Trainer Sessions

Yes, we do. HIIT training is an outstanding way of conditioning your body and driving fat loss. We have all the gym facilities we need to create a massive range of HIIT workouts for our clients.

Yes, we can. Grip strength is a factor that plays a huge role - both in personal training sessions and in everyday life. Our coaches will help identify if your grip strength could use some work, the programme the kinds of exercises that will help to boost that strength. 

If you'd like to learn more about grip strength, we've created a dedicated blog on the subject: Why is Grip Strength Important?

We can help you work towards any goal you have in mind - so yes, training to increase muscle size or 'tone up' is no problem and an area we have a lot of experience in.

We've created a blog that looks at hypertrophy and strength training - comparing and contrasting the two: What Does Hypertrophy of Muscles Mean?

Almost certainly, yes. Most personal trainers will explain that as you exercise and get stronger, you’ll usually find that your levels of energy, focus, and general feeling of well-being increase too.  It makes sense of course, the more your body is conditioned for performance, the more likely you are to get ultimate performance from your brain too!

Of course, exercise isn’t the answer to all mental health conditions, but even if you require medical support or medication, exercise is almost always going to be a helpful tool.

Definitely! Having strong core muscles is effectively creating a solid foundation that other types of training will help you build upon. With a stronger core, you can expect better posture, improved balance, better exercising form, and better injury/pain resilience. 

We've put together a detailed blog exploring the subject in more depth: The Best Core Exercises for Strength.

Our private boutique studios are in Fitzrovia and Soho, roughly a 10 minute walk from the Square Mile – a perfect gentle warm-up for your workout!

Yes. We believe so - and we've got lots of past and present clients who are proof. More often than not, a person's potential strength far outweighs their level of strength training knowledge. As such, having an experienced coach on your side will help you reach levels that are virtually impossible without years of expert knowledge and the relevant qualifications.

If weight loss is one of your goals, muscle and strength building workouts are an important part of how you’ll get there. Your body requires more energy to maintain muscle than it does fat – so as your strength grows, so will the amount of calories that you naturally burn as you go about your day. The most striking body transformations always begin with strength training.

Absolutely! No matter what you goal or current level of fitness, improving your strength is always going to offer benefits. The personal trainers at Fitness Lab will be able to work with you and support you even if you've never stepped foot in gym before.

In fact, we've created a blog post that looks at this subject in more depth: Strength Training for Beginners.

Don't be fooled by thinking that strength training is just there to help you look better! You will almost certainly lose body fat and tone up - but a good strength training program will help improve heart health, prevent injuries, and even boost mental wellbeing.

We've explore these things in more detail in our dedicated blog: Strength Training Benefits. 

Yes, we do. Our range of weights and the space you’ll be working in allow for all kinds of complex compound lifts. What’s more, our expert personal trainers have an unmatched eye for form – so we’ll make sure your Olympic lifts have never been better.

Until we've got to know you and your training history, it's hard to say exactly what will be right for you when it comes to 'sets' and 'reps'. That said, anywhere in the range of 3-5 sets for 3-5 reps (with the proper rest time) will usually be sufficient.

The number of sets and reps you'll do as you progress in strength training will often change and become more specific. We've looked at this subject more in our blog: How Many Sets Should I do for Strength?
