What is Club Training? — Sweat-it Training

Right, here it is - the 411.

We have a range of session styles here at SweatIT HQ. Our training sessions are varied to ensure we cover all bases of fitness. Our meticulous programming starts with our Small Group Personal Training (SGPT). These 50-minute sessions provide the perfect balance to improve strength, balance, flexibility, mobility, and movement quality. The undeniable evidence all points to exercise increasing our longevity, keeping us moving, free from disease & illness, and promoting good physical and mental health.

TRAINING DOSE

Now, what’s the correct dose of training? Firstly, knowing the reason why you exercise is going to help you schedule your training and motivate you to continue.

Common reasons to exercise:

To improve our physical performance
To increase our potential lifespan
To help subside injury/pain
To maintain a healthy body composition

People exercise for different outcomes and they can chop and change during different periods of their lives.

Everyone will be able to tolerate different training doses, depending on age, training age (how long they’ve been training for) and their lifestyle.

BODY COMPOSITION - INJURY PREVENTION - FREE OF ILLNESS - MOOD - SLEEP

We are looking to achieve the above. We may get some momentum by seeing some good results, i.e. losing body fat or performing better in the gym, however, we can easily tip the scales by ‘overtraining’. More isn’t always better, especially if we are not able to put the same effort into our sleep, mobility and nutrition. Sometimes lower energy activity is a better option so we don’t tap into the same energy stores we use in our heavy strength training and high-intensity conditioning.

It’s important to get the right training balance. Our body is super smart and uses various energy systems to be as efficient as possible in our functions - such as executing daily tasks or even functions we don’t think about, like hormone production. So instead of seeing exercise as just one type, or one version being ‘better’ for calorie burning, think of it as how to maximise your body’s potential - not always deplete it.

This takes us to our other methods of training at SweatIT.

ENGINE

Specifically designed to improve your aerobic fitness. How to utilise oxygen effectively when exercising. The sessions are progressive in intensity, and interval duration and test our rate of recovery. We want to ensure that we are mindful of our heart rate, working on pacing, movement efficiency and exercise transitions. Perfect for those that want to improve their endurance, as well as impact their quality of strength training, using a mix of cardio, bodyweight and free-weight equipment.

SUMMER CLUB

Half an hour of dedicated training to a specific body area to promote muscle growth, hone in on areas of weakness, and target imbalances that could be causing pain or impacting our normal range of motion.

Perfect for getting a sweat on and that muscle pump feeling. This session is not about high intensity. It’s about getting in some extra exercise volume using weights and cardio equipment to build muscle size and strength, improve fitness and reduce the risk of injury.

STRETCH

Everyone who dedicates time to resistance training should equally invest time into their mobility. Spend 30 minutes in our guided stretch session to decompress, work on muscle flexibility, improve physical performance and keep injuries at bay.
