Fitness Frequently Asked Questions
Am I fit enough to join a Crosstrain class? 🤔
You can join any of the classes with any level of fitness from newbies to experienced fitness enthusiasts alike. All movements are scaled to your current fitness level and when YOU are ready, increase the intensity.
Will I get big muscles? (mainly aimed at the ladies). 💪🏻
No and yes. ✖️✔️
Training 3-4 times per week will not get “big” muscles. You will have “toned” muscles. Big muscles are achieved by lifting heavy weights of 8-12 reps with 2-3 mins rest. We can do that if you want to though.
How long will it take to see results? 🗓
From a fitness perspective, it depends on a few things:
Frequency per week (training 2-3 times per week will see results quicker than once per week).
Intensity. How hard you push yourself. If you turn up and put in minimal effort, then a lot longer.
Winter Motivation

4) TELL your partner you want to go.! Make them make you go! 🏃♀️👈

New Years Motivation
Another year same old same old right? No! This year you are going to prepare for success! Even if that is gymmin more often or losing just a few kilos of body fat.
Here are my top tips for 2020 success 👌
Realistic goals 🥇
Set your sights on something you have at least a chance in hell of completing. A 5k run? Doable. Marathon De Sable (Sahara Marathon), we need to talk.
Do Something that motivates you 😁
As above, if you hate running, don’t aim for a fun run. Think alternatives like a Charity Walk/swim.
Short and long term 🗓
A short term goal can be starting back at the gym this week, not February. A long term goal can be from 3 months to a year.
Try a new eating plan. 🥘
We all know that a great deal of fat is lost from eating correctly. Have you been plugging away with the “Peruvian Goats cheese and water Diet”. Not working for you? (it may work but you hate it, see second tip). Try the 5:2 or Zone diet.
Write it somewhere and be accountable 📝
We now have a goal board to be updated regularly. See Anthony to sign up. I promise to chase you up on your “Adriatic Barnacle Detox Diet”. Yum
