FAQ's

Q - How do I lose belly fat?

A. My clients achieve significant reduction in belly fat through personalised diet plans tailored to their specific needs, comprising optimal quantities of lean proteins and complex carbohydrates. Additionally, I provide them with customised exercise routines designed specifically for their body type and fitness goals.

 

Q - How do I gain weight?

A. To gain weight healthily, focus on increasing your calorie intake with nutrient-dense foods. Ensure you're consuming protein from sources such as meats, fish and eggs to support muscle growth. Aim to eat atleast three balanced meals with 2-3 snacks to boost overall calorie consumption. Include whole grains, fruits and vegetables to provide vitamins and minerals. Incorporate compound exercises into your routine to build muscle mass. Record your progress to make adjustments as needed, If unsure for personalised guidance consult with myself.  

 

Q - How do I lose weight on my face?

A. Losing weight and transforming your face follows the same process as losing weight and transforming your entire body. You cannot selectively choose where you lose weight; it's a consistent, gradual process. Additionally, hormonal changes and medications can also contribute to facial bloating. 

 

Q - How do I build muscle?

A. Very simply, achieving your muscle gaining goals involves consuming the right amount of calories and nutrients while engaging in resistance training, which essentially means lifting weights. The specific details on how to do this such as frequency and techniques are all outlined in the startup packages provided to all my clients. 

 

Q - How do I “bulk”?

A. "Bulking" refers to a phase where you consume a calorie surplus to increase size, and muscle mass on your body frame. This involves eating high-protein foods and progressively lifting heavy weights. After the bulking phase, you typically transition to a "cutting" phase to reduce body fat while maintaining muscle mass.

 

Q - What is hypertrophy?

A. Muscle hypertrophy is the process of increasing the size of muscle cells, resulting in an increase in muscle mass. This typically occurs in response to strength training or resistance exercises, where muscles adapt to the increased workload by growing larger and stronger.

 

Q - What should I eat before the gym?

A. Opt for a balanced pre-workout meal or snack that includes carbohydrates for energy and hydration, along with some protein for muscle repair and maintenance. Foods like bananas, oatmeal, whole grain toast with peanut butter or a smoothie with fruits and protein powder is a practical option. Also, make sure to stay hydrated by drinking water before and during your workout.

 

Q - What is strength training?

A. Strength training is using resistance to build muscle strength and size, such as lifting weights or doing bodyweight exercises. Usually with lower rep ranges and heavy weights with increasing strength as the primary focus. 

 

Q - What to wear to the gym?

A. Wear what you are comfortable and cosy in, nothing tight or rigid. Wear what allows you full mobility with zero restrictions as this can be a hindrance but also potentially dangerous. 

 

Q - How do I become a personal trainer?

A. To become a good reputable personal trainer, you must obtain a certification from a reputable organisation like REPS, gain experience working in the fitness industry, consider specialising in a niche area, stay updated with constant education to help yourself and your clients focus on building a strong client base through networking and excellent service. Additionally, ensure compliance with legal and business requirements such as liability insurance and disclosures.

Gym frequency is totally down to your end goal for some 3-5 would be what I recommend for some a minimum of 4 its very difficult to impossible to give a generic answer as without knowing someones personal circumstances or goals an answer cannot be given.

Q - How long does it take to see results from the gym?

A. I tell my clients that results should be able to be felt within your first week and they report this to be the case 100% of the time, If your doing things correct visible results and changes should be seen within 2-4 weeks and should be consistently visible every 4 weeks from that point onwards, In other words my clients are of the understanding they should be on a trajectory that sees you look like a totally new person every 6 months.
